Overview

AI Video Cut is an online tool that turns long videos into short clips for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, ads and trailers. What sets it apart from many clipping tools is its use of prompts: rather than only picking highlights automatically, you tell the AI what kind of clip you want, for example a trailer, a funny moment or a product review, and it cuts the video accordingly.

How it works

You upload a video file or paste a link. Then you choose one of the ready-to-use prompts or write your own custom prompt describing the edit. The AI processes the video, finds the relevant parts and produces a short clip in HD quality, with captions. You can then fine-tune the result by editing the transcript: changing the text cleans up captions, and removing text removes unwanted parts of the clip.

Ready-made prompts

The prompt collection covers common formats such as:

Catchy trailers that tease the full video.
Viral-style clips built around a strong moment.
Funny moments compilations.
Product review highlights.
General highlights.

Custom prompts

Custom prompts let you describe exactly how the video should be cut, such as focusing on a particular topic discussed in a podcast or extracting every mention of a product. The site provides best practices for writing effective prompts.

Use cases

Things to consider

Prompt-based editing works best on videos with clear speech, since the AI relies heavily on the transcript. Review clips to make sure quotes are not taken out of context, and only process videos you have the rights to use.

Who it is for

AI Video Cut suits creators, podcasters and marketers who want more control over what AI clipping produces, using simple text instructions instead of manual editing.
