Frequently asked questions
How do AI video clippers determine which moments are worth clipping?
They evaluate audio transcripts, tonal inflection, speaker visual cues, hook strength, and pacing models trained on viral social video engagement metrics to assign a virality score to each candidate segment.
Do these tools automatically handle active speaker framing for vertical video?
Yes. Built-in computer vision models track face positions and switch camera angles dynamically to keep the active speaker perfectly centered in vertical 9:16 aspect ratios.
