NexClip AI

You recorded a 60-minute webinar. Now you need: - A 3-min clip on pricing for sales - A 5-min Q&A highlight for social - A 2-min teaser for email follow-up Manually? That's 4-8 hours of scrubbing through footage. There's a better way. 🧵

Love this framework — especially "writing the narrative for everyone else, but building the encyclopedia index for yourself." That's exactly the right way to think about it. I spent 25 years doing this same color-coding and bucketing process manually in Resolve. The listening pass where you decide "what bucket does this fall in" was always the most time-consuming part for me. That's actually what led me to build NexClip AI — it handles that indexing step. You tell it what topics matter, it finds the relevant segments, and exports Premiere XML, DaVinci XML, or FCPXML so you can go straight into your narrative edit. Beta is open if you want to try it → nexclipai.com

This is literally what I've been building. NexClip AI — you pick the topics that matter, it pulls the relevant segments, and exports DaVinci Resolve XML (or FCPXML). No timeline, no editor, just the rough cut handoff to your NLE. Beta is open — happy to get you access if you want to try it. nexclipai.com Launching April 14.

This is the feature spec. Very simple app on paper. Keep the UX ultra basic. I want to be able to export the file to DaVinci Resolve. I just want the app to handle the initial rough cuts. Everything else I can do in DaVinci. No need to build a whole ass video editor.

If you think you can build this, do it and DM me a video. If it solves what I’m looking for I will happily partner with you and distribute the absolute heck out of it.

Seeing more tools that fully automate video clipping — AI picks the clips, burns captions, even writes the posts. Genuine question: do you want AI to decide what's worth clipping from your video? Or do you want to pick the topics yourself and let AI handle the cutting? #BuildInPublic #VideoEditing #AI

@andrejgee The "2 hours → 15 minutes" jump is always about finding the right tool, not the right skill. What program did you switch to?

i spent two hours editing my first video for reels; i ended up using another (similar) program to do it over, it took 15 minutes. i learn fast

@bitrusxbt 8 clips in one day — that's a solid workload. Curious: how long does it take you to find the right moments to clip from a stream? That's always the most time-consuming part for me.

It's Taco Tuesday 🌮 What are your plans? On my end - clip 3 extra videos from threadguy's stream - 5 clips from other campaigns - watch Yt to improve my editing skills - prepare details for webinar I have this weekend - read a chapter of a book Have a lovely Tuesday

@victorcowunna @PathOfMen_ This is the creator's dilemma too. You have 60 min of great content, but your audience only has patience for 3 min. The question becomes: which 3 minutes? That decision is what makes repurposing hard — and why just letting AI pick "highlights" doesn't always work.

@PathOfMen_ I took a break from some of my social media accounts for close to 5-months and noticed how much time I spent on YouTube grew (which was a goal I had btw). This is a fact! Those reels and short clips have a way of increasing impatience for long-form video contents.

Most SEO advice: "Find high-volume keywords and rank for them." What I'm doing: Creating a keyword that doesn't exist yet. "Topic-Based Editing" — zero search volume. Zero competition. One definition page. If the category takes off, I own the answer. #BuildInPublic #SEO #AI

@max_rosewater Most tools auto-pick "interesting" moments, but they don't ask what the video is actually about. I'm building NexClip AI — it extracts topics from your video first, then you pick which topics to clip. You decide what matters, not the algorithm. Launching April 14.

I'm seeing people talk about an A.I. tool that can chop up long-form video into clips while you're asleep... what are y'all using for this?

@Italianclownz @robertoblake Solid feature set. The virality scoring is interesting — curious how accurate it is in practice. In my experience the hardest part isn't finding "interesting" moments, it's finding the right moments for a specific purpose.

I made one. It takes any long form video up to 100 GBs, uses facial tracking with slow zoom, has different subtitle styles, and rates the clips on possibility of vitality. It scores them. It can also detect silence in long form videos, cut it, splice it together. Im working on getting lower thirds on the long form.

Whoever creates a “Vibe Video Editing” tool first will make $100B in revenue… 😭😭😭

@jocarrasqueira @gr00vyfairy Agreed — the repackaging step is where most creators get stuck though. Going from a 30-min YouTube video to platform-specific clips means someone still has to decide which parts matter for each audience. That decision-making is the real bottleneck.

@gr00vyfairy Different platforms have completely different ways of targeting your audience. You need to repackage your content and tailors it to the channel. Making a long form video for YouTube and then clips/ copy for other social channels extracted from that video is still a good option

Marketing in a nutshell... is obsessing over culture and thinking of how you can also catch that wave. It is very interesting to me to see what works on X vz TikTok vs Instagram and thinking about what that means for the product you are trying to sell

@charliehoehn Impressive pipeline. The full automation works great when any clip is a good clip. The challenge I keep running into is when the creator needs specific topics from the video — that's where "AI picks everything" hits a wall.

If you’re not building things in Claude Opus 4.6, you’re missing out. My team built an app that takes a long form video, turns it into multiple short form clips, burns in captions, writes the LinkedIn posts associated with each clip - completely in my voice - then uploads it to typefully to distribute. Entirely automated. It’s unreal.

@itsNicoleTTV The cycle mindset is key. The bottleneck for most creators isn't the repurposing itself — it's finding which moments are worth cutting. A 3-hour stream has maybe 10 min of gold, and scrubbing through it all takes longer than the editing.

feeling stuck? you probably don’t need new content. you just need to work smarter with what you already have... ✨ repurpose everything ✨ • streamed for a few hours? → cut the best moments into a long-form video • long-form video? → break it into short-form clips • got a good clip? → turn it into a meme or a social post • funny chat moment? → screenshot it and make an engagement post content isn’t one and done - it’s a cycle! maximize what you already create and suddenly you have more to post with less effort. always work smarter, not harder 🚀

@FervorGamingYT @Hellen__TK Nice. The jump from 12 min to under 2 min is where all the hard decisions happen — what to keep, what to cut. That's the part I'm obsessed with solving.

Well, the one above is a Short, and it’s just under 2 minutes for this one. Typically I like to keep it under a minute if I can, but for this one I needed to go a little over a minute, so it’s about 1 minute and 55 seconds. For the long-form video, that one ran about 12 minutes, give or take.

Late night editing. How is everyone evening going?

The page: nexclipai.com/topic-based-ed…

How do you build SEO for a keyword that doesn't exist yet? "Topic-Based Editing" returns zero results on Google. No competition — but also no search volume. So I'm building the definition page myself. If you search "what is topic-based editing" in a few weeks, my site should be the answer. Category creation = SEO from scratch. #BuildInPublic #SEO #VideoEditing #MacApp #AI

@FervorGamingYT @Hellen__TK The late-night timeline grind. How long is the video you're working on?

@Hellen__TK Also late-night editing. About to make some dinner and then finish the next long-form video for the 12th.

@dimaerzak 40 hours for one long form video — that's exactly the pain that made me build an AI tool to cut it down. The editing grind is real. Keep going! 💪

Day 21 of editing to afford a private jet 🚀target - $10,000 per month 💸 earned - $0 (but my editing was officially classified as a biological weapon) portfolio update: finally finished a long form video for a friend. it took 40 hours of my life and the last bit of my ps4 disks cooling system's dignity. the delivery: sent the export with pure pride. i was expecting an oscar nomination or at least a "good job bro". the feedback: he gave me some highly constructive criticism. he said my cuts made his eyes physically bleed and told me to delete the software. coping mechanism: i am choosing to believe my style is simply too avant-garde for his primitive brain. art is supposed to make you feel things (even if that thing is brain damage). celebrating day 21 by taking his advice and looking for a bridge to chill under. status: humbled. avant-garde. a hazard to society. taking notes grinding further less 💪

They decide what's interesting. But who decides what matters? After 25 years in video production, I realized every AI clipping tool gets one thing fundamentally wrong.
