Managing and editing video clips

Answer

Turn any video into short clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts in no time. You can generate clips automatically from an existing video, or upload a short video yourself. On the Video Clips page you review, approve, edit, and publish them. This feature is new and still in beta.

Viewing clips

1. Go to Content Engine > Video Clips.
2. Your clips are grouped per source video. Open a group to see its clips.
3. Each clip shows a preview, the hook, the source video, and the duration.

Subtitle settings

By default, clips get automatic word-by-word subtitles at the bottom of the screen. If you already burn subtitles into your source video, you can turn the automatic ones off to avoid duplicates. There are two places to control this:

Default for your account At the top of the Video Clips page you will find a Subtitles card with an on/off toggle. Switch it off if you generally do not want automatic subtitles added to your clips. This setting applies to all new clips going forward. The toggle is on by default, so if you do want subtitles you do not need to change anything.

Per video when uploading When you upload a clip and select Short clips as the output type, an Add subtitles option appears directly below it. This option is pre-filled with your account default, but you can flip it on or off for that specific video.

Note: turning subtitles off only removes the word-by-word subtitles at the bottom of the clip. The text bar and hook at the top stay in place regardless of this setting.

Generating clips automatically

1. If a source video has no clips yet, click Generate clips.
2. The AI finds the strongest moments and proposes clips.
3. The clips are then rendered cinematically. You can keep working in the meantime.

Uploading a short clip yourself

Already have a short video? Upload it directly:

1. Click Upload clip at the top right.
2. Choose your video file (MP4, MOV, or WebM) and give the clip a title.
3. Set the Source language: the language spoken in the video. This makes the subtitles more accurate.
4. Leave Enhance audio on for noise reduction, a more even volume, and clearer speech.
5. The whole video is processed as one clip: transcription, subtitles, and visuals are added automatically.

Reviewing clips

At the top you filter by status: All, Suggested, Approved, Rejected, or Published. From the menu (three dots) on a clip you can approve, reject, or delete it, download the original, or open the clip in Stream.

Publishing to your website

Each clip has two switches:

• Website: place the clip on your site under /clips.
• Overview: show or hide the clip in the clips list on your site.

Scheduling to social media

Beyond publishing to your own website, you can also schedule an approved clip directly to your social media channels: Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook. This uses the same connection as your social posts (bundle.social).

Note: scheduling to social media is separate from the website toggle above. The toggle makes the clip visible on your site under /clips; scheduling sends the clip to your social channels on a chosen date and time.

To schedule a clip:

1. Click Schedule (the calendar icon) on an approved clip.
2. Choose which platforms you want to post to and adjust the captions if needed.
3. Each platform shows a recommended best time based on when that platform typically performs well. You can change this time if you prefer.
4. When picking a time, you see a week strip: seven days side by side, each with colored dots in the channel color. This gives you an instant overview of how busy each day already is. Click a day to see the exact times and the title of every post already scheduled there. Use the arrows to browse to the next or previous week. The time you choose yourself appears as an open dot with the label "Your chosen time." If a day has nothing planned yet, you see the message "Nothing scheduled on {day} yet, a free day."
5. This week strip is the same view you see when scheduling regular social posts, so what you see on one page always matches the other.

Correcting subtitles

Sometimes speech recognition mishears a name or technical term. To fix it quickly:

1. Click the pencil next to Subtitles below the clip.
2. Correct the misheard words. This works best for names, brand names, and technical terms.
3. Click Save.

To polish word by word, adjust timing, or trim the start and end of a clip, use Fine-tuning subtitles. That is covered in a separate article.

Re-rendering

After correcting, re-render the clip with Re-render. The fast renderer delivers crisp subtitles, a centered hook, and an end CTA. Rendering takes a few minutes and the status updates itself.

Motion

With the fast renderer you choose how much motion your clip gets:

• Off: a calm, still image.
• Subtle (recommended): a gentle zoom with a light word pop.
• Dynamic: subtle motion with a few zoom moments on the beat.

Thumbnails

Choose a Thumbnail style for your posts: Minimal, Bold (accent color), Dark editorial, Signature, or Magazine. Generate a style per clip or regenerate all thumbnails at once. With the thumbnail strip you pick a frame from the clip yourself.

Copying captions

Below each clip you find ready-made texts with a copy button: a short Thumbnail text and separate captions for Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Downloading and sharing

• Click Download 9:16 for the vertical clip as MP4.
• From the menu you can download the original or open the clip in Stream.

Tips

• Start with Generate clips on your best video and approve the strongest clips.
• Correct names and technical terms in the subtitles first, then re-render.
• Published clips automatically appear in your navigation, sitemap, and llms.txt, great for discoverability.
• If you burn subtitles into your source video yourself, turn off the Subtitles toggle on the Video Clips page. This prevents double subtitles and keeps your clips looking clean. You can always override this per video during upload.
