What it is
What an AI clip finder does
Finding one moment in a long recording usually means scrubbing, guessing and scrubbing again. An AI clip finder reads the transcript for you. Instead of asking it for “good clips”, you say what you are after in a sentence, and it looks for moments that fit.
Vidoveli judges the fit by meaning rather than by matching words, so “when the guest disagrees with me” finds the argument even if nobody says the word. Your request can be in another language than the video. Each clip the AI keeps is checked against what you asked for, scored on its hook, payoff and clarity, and given a written reason; one that only partly fits is marked as such.
Leave the request empty and it finds the strongest moments on its own, as the video to Shorts converter does. Every clip opens in the AI video editor, where you can move a start or end word by word.
Moments that fit your request
Describe what you want and get the moments that match it in meaning, not just in words.
Ask in your own words
“Every story about the first year” or “the funniest exchange”: one sentence is enough.
Scored and explained
Every recommended clip shows a score from 0 to 10 and why it was picked.
Edges you can adjust
Move a clip’s start or end word by word when you want a little more context.
The length you need
Under 30 seconds for a hook, up to three minutes for a full answer.
Search only part of it
Choose the stretch of a long video to search. Only those minutes use credits.

Write a better request
How to ask an AI clip finder
The request steers what the AI looks for. These habits bring closer matches.
- Name the subject, not the words“Advice for first-time founders” beats a list of keywords, because the fit is judged by meaning.
- Say what kind of momentA story, a disagreement, a how-to or a joke: the kind of moment matters as much as the topic.
- One request per runAsk for one thing at a time. A request that mixes three topics gets three half-matches.
- Expect fewer, closer clipsA narrow request may bring back only a handful of recommended clips. The rest stay as drafts.

FAQ
Questions about the AI Clip Finder
What is an AI clip finder?
A tool that reads a long video’s transcript and finds the moments worth cutting. In Vidoveli you can also tell it what you are looking for, and it keeps the moments that fit your request.
Does it search for exact words?
No. It judges the fit by meaning, so a request like “times we disagree” can find an argument in which nobody says the word. To jump to an exact word, use Search in the editor’s transcript.
Can I write the request in another language?
Yes. The request can be in a different language from the video, for example an English request for a Spanish interview. Transcription and captions work in 40 languages.
What happens to moments that do not match?
A clip that does not fit the request is left out. One that only partly fits says “Only partly matches your instruction” among its reasons, so you can decide whether to keep it.
Which videos does it work on?
Videos with speech: podcasts, interviews, webinars, lessons and talks. It finds moments from what is said, so it cannot find a goal in a match or a scene without dialogue.
What does it cost?
Finding clips uses credits for the length of the video, one credit a minute, however many clips come back. A new account gets 15 free credits once. Free exports are 720p with a small watermark; see pricing for Creator and Business.
