Automate Your Social Media Video Production

One long-form recording becomes a week of social posts. Very Big Clips finds the best moments, applies your caption style, and publishes — no video editor required.

Start batching clips

The problem

Daily social video is a full-time job — usually for someone you cannot hire

The advice for every brand, creator, and founder in 2026 is the same: post short video every day on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Reels, and LinkedIn. The execution is the part nobody talks about. A single 60-second clip — found, cut, captioned, branded, exported, posted — is 30 to 60 minutes of editor time. Five clips a week per platform is a part-time hire.

Very Big Clips compresses that work into one pass. You sit through your long-form recording once, accept the AI's clip suggestions, and a batch of branded, captioned shorts comes out the other side. The same caption template applies to every clip, so the social output stays visually consistent without anyone manually re-styling each one.

Step-by-step

From one long video to a week of posts

  1. 1

    Upload the source video

    Connect Google Drive or upload directly. Webinars, podcast episodes, recorded interviews, and conference talks all make good source material because they contain multiple self-contained ideas.

  2. 2

    Let the AI suggest clips

    Very Big Clips reads the transcript and identifies five to ten passages with strong hooks, clean intros, and a payoff that fits in 60 seconds. Each suggestion is editable — adjust the start and end with a drag.

  3. 3

    Apply your caption template once

    Pick a caption style — font, color, emphasis, position — and save it as your template. Every clip in the project inherits the template, so your social output looks like it came from the same brand without anyone restyling each one.

  4. 4

    Publish, schedule, or download

    Connect your YouTube channel to publish Shorts directly. For TikTok, Reels, and LinkedIn, download the rendered MP4 — already in 9:16 with captions burned in — and upload through each platform's native scheduler.

What you actually get

An assembly line, not another video editor

Batch by default

Ten clips render in parallel, not in series. A batch from one source is usually ready in five to ten minutes — fast enough that you can plan a week of content in a single sitting.

Consistent branding

Caption templates live at the workspace level. Update the template once and every future clip inherits the new style — useful when the brand evolves or a campaign needs a different look.

YouTube publishing built in

Push clips to YouTube without leaving the editor. Other platforms still need a manual upload, but the file is already formatted and captioned — the rest is a drag and drop.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many clips can I get from one long-form video?

It depends on the source. A 60-minute podcast typically produces five to ten usable shorts. A keynote with strong individual takeaways can produce more. The AI surfaces candidates; you accept or reject each one rather than rendering everything blindly.

Does it publish to TikTok, Reels, and LinkedIn?

Direct publishing is currently YouTube only. For TikTok, Instagram Reels, and LinkedIn, you download the rendered MP4 from the editor and upload through each platform. The clip is already in 9:16 with captions burned in — the upload itself is a drag and drop.

Can I keep brand styling consistent across clips?

Yes. Caption templates are stored per workspace. A brand color, font, and emphasis style applied to one clip becomes the default for every subsequent clip until you change it.

How long does batch rendering take?

A single 60-second clip renders in about a minute. Batches run in parallel on Cloud Run, so ten clips from one source video are usually ready in five to ten minutes total.

Does this replace my video editor?

For social cutdowns from long-form recordings, yes. For original cinematic editing, no — Very Big Clips is purpose-built for the repurposing workflow, not for color grading or multi-track audio mixing. Most teams keep Premiere or DaVinci for their hero content and use Very Big Clips for the daily output.
