One long video in. Ten short clips out.
Paste a link or drop a video. Hugogen finds the best moments, crops them to vertical, and adds captions, so you get clips ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts in minutes.
Paste a link or upload a file. No watermark. No credit card required.

30-second screen recording: paste a link → one long video turns into a grid of vertical clip cards with captions → open one clip on the timeline → share / download. 16:9 MP4, no audio, autoplays muted.
How it works.
From one long video to a set of ready-to-post clips in three steps.

Screenshot: the clip start screen with a URL input and a drag-and-drop file zone, a pasted YouTube link visible in the field. 16:10 ratio.
Everything a clip needs, done for you.
Most tools hand you rough cuts and leave the captions, the crop, and the edit to you. Hugogen does all three, then hands you a clip you can still change.
Finds the best moments
Hugogen listens to the whole video and reads what's said, then picks the moments most likely to grab attention. You get the highlights, not the filler.
Vertical crop that follows the face
Every clip is reframed to a 9:16 vertical fit for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. The crop centers on the person talking so no one's head gets cut off.
Captions on every word
Word-by-word captions are burned in automatically and timed to the audio. No caption tool, no second app, no manual sync.
Knows who's speaking
Hugogen tells speakers apart and tracks who says what, so podcasts and interviews with more than one voice clip cleanly, with the captions on the right person.
Paste a link or drop a file
Start from a YouTube link, a social video, a direct file URL, or a file from your device up to 2 GB and 60 minutes. Hugogen downloads it and saves it to your workspace.
Every clip is editable
Each clip opens on a real timeline. Trim it, change the captions, move the crop, or swap the moment, then export. Nothing is locked to what the AI chose.
Share or download, no watermark
Every clip gets its own page. Post the link or download the MP4, clean, on every plan including Free.
What people clip with it.
Four setups and what each one gives back. Same idea every time: one long video in, a batch of captioned vertical clips out.
Podcaster
One episode, ten shorts
You say
“Clip my 1-hour podcast into 10 vertical shorts with captions.”
You get
10 vertical clips of the best moments across the hour, word-by-word captions on each, and the crop following whoever is speaking. Ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, and each one editable on a timeline.
Creator
One recording, a week of posts
You say
“Turn this 20-minute video into 30-second clips I can post all week.”
You get
A set of 30-second vertical clips, each built around a single strong moment with captions burned in. Post one a day, or open any of them to re-cut before it goes out.
Coach
Webinar into teaching clips
You say
“Cut my webinar into short clips, one per key point, 60 seconds each.”
You get
One clip per teaching point, 60 seconds, vertical, captioned. Speaker labels keep the captions right when a guest jumps in. Drops into your workspace ready to share.
Agency
Client footage into ad-ready cuts
You say
“Take this client interview and pull 15 vertical clips for their socials.”
You get
15 captioned vertical clips from the interview, cropped to keep the speaker in frame. Hand the client the share links, or download the MP4s for the ad manager.
Hugogen Video Clipping vs the alternatives.
Opus Clip, Vizard, Klap, and Submagic all turn long video into shorts. Hugogen matches them on finding moments, cropping to vertical, and captions, then goes further: every clip opens on a real editable timeline, and it sits in the same workspace as your docs, designs, and other video.

Works alongside the rest of Hugogen.
The long recording, the clips, the caption doc, and the task list live in the same workspace. No re-uploading the same files between tools.
Video →
Generate a brand-new reel from a brief or a photo, then clip a long recording next to it. Both live on the same timeline editor.
Designer →
Make the thumbnail and the cover frame on a real canvas, in the same project as the clips they belong to.
Documents →
Pull the transcript into a doc, write the captions and the hooks, then post. Same project, both surfaces.
AI Chat →
Ask which moments to clip, brainstorm titles, or draft the post copy. The chat hands off to video clipping when you want the actual cuts.
Team Chat →
Drop a clip in a channel for a quick approve, and keep the feedback next to the clip it's about.
Projects →
Track each clip from cut to posted. List, Board, Calendar, Gantt. Pick the view that fits your week.
What people clipping with it say.
A podcast host, a solo creator, and a social agency. Same review.
Satu episode satu jam langsung jadi 10 short vertikal, caption udah otomatis nempel. Biasanya editor gue habis semalaman buat hasil segini. Sekarang tinggal paste link, tunggu bentar, tiap clip masih bisa gue rapihin di timeline.

I record one long video a week and used to post nothing because cutting shorts was a chore. Now one upload gives me a week of vertical clips with captions, and I can tweak the crop on any of them before it goes out.

Khách gửi một buổi phỏng vấn dài, mình lấy ra 15 clip dọc có caption trong vài phút. Crop tự bám theo người nói nên không bị mất mặt. Gửi link cho khách duyệt, cần thì tải MP4 về, đỡ hẳn một ngày dựng.
