AI Highlight Generator

Recapo analyzes the transcript, scene changes, emotional peaks, and dead air, then scores candidate segments against the chosen clip goal. A hook goal favors attention-grabbing openings, a talking-clip goal favors complete statements, and a 9:16 goal favors moments whose framing can survive a vertical crop. Users review the ranking before export.

Videos with clear speech or recognizable scene structure work best, including interviews, podcasts, lectures, livestream replays, gameplay, films, and shows. Speech-light footage can still be analyzed, but ranking relies more heavily on visual transitions. Test one representative source before processing a large backlog, because highlight quality is content-dependent.

The talking-clip goal rewards complete, quotable sentences with clean starting and ending points, which helps preserve context. It is still a ranking aid, not a guarantee. Review the transcript around every proposed cut and extend the boundaries when a pronoun, setup, response, or conclusion would otherwise be missing.

The public AI Clip Generator currently documents clip goals such as best hook, talking clip, and 9:16 short; it does not document a dedicated speaker or topic search control. Use the task instructions or transcript to narrow the target, then confirm the selected speaker and context manually before exporting.

Yes. Recapo treats AI suggestions as a starting point. Users can reorder candidate clips, adjust the in and out points, remove suggestions, or add a segment the AI did not flag. A rejected highlight should not appear in the final export or in any FAQ claim about automated publishing.

Highlight Agent is a quick entry point for uploading a long video and auto-extracting highlights. AI Clip Generator exposes a more detailed clipping workflow with clip goals, ranked candidates, manual boundary changes, and handoff to captions or vertical crop. Use the agent for a fast start and the tool page when editorial control matters.
