What it is

What makes a clip work on TikTok

On TikTok people decide within a second or two whether to keep watching, and many watch with the sound off. A clip that works there opens on its most interesting line, reads well without audio and ends before it drags.

Vidoveli looks for exactly those moments in a long video. It checks each candidate for a hook, a payoff and whether it makes sense without the rest of the video, then recommends the strongest with a score and a reason. You can ask for a length, such as under 30 seconds, or let each clip take the time it needs.

Clips come out in 9:16 with the speaker in frame and captions in any of 9 animated caption styles. Each one also gets post text written for TikTok, ready to paste. For more on openings, read how to find hooks in what you have already recorded.

  • Hooks up front

    Every clip is checked for whether its first line makes someone stop scrolling.

  • Framed for the phone

    9:16 with auto reframe, so the speaker stays in the middle of the screen.

  • Captions where they read

    Big animated captions you can move clear of TikTok’s buttons and caption text.

  • YouTube to TikTok in one step

    Paste a YouTube, Google Drive or Dropbox link instead of downloading and re-uploading the file.

  • Emoji and keywords

    AI adds emoji where they fit and highlights the words that carry the point.

  • The post is written

    A TikTok caption and hashtags for every clip, ready to copy.

TikTok checklist

Before you post to TikTok

A good clip can still fall flat if it is hard to read on a phone. Check these before you export.

  • First line, first secondIf the opening needs context, move the start to the sentence that carries the point.
  • Captions clear of the interfaceTikTok puts the caption, the sound and its buttons along the bottom and right. Keep captions higher, near the middle.
  • One idea per clipIf a clip makes two points, split it. Each half will usually do better alone.
  • End on the payoffStop on the last complete sentence, not on “so, yeah”.
