Automatically extract short, standalone clips from a longer video. These clips are moments that can be shared directly on social platforms or used in editing workflows. This tile is ideal for repurposing podcasts, interviews, webinars, or speaking content into short-form highlights.

​
How It Works

Mosaic scans your video and finds segments that contain interesting, insightful, funny, emotional, or impactful moments. You can:
  • Let Mosaic decide what’s interesting, or
  • Guide it using your own prompt (optional)
Each clip becomes an individual video you can send to other tiles (like Reframe or Captions) or export directly. Clips

​
Input Options

​
1. Prompt (Optional)

“Write what kind of video you want to create”
Use this if you want specific types of clips.
Examples:
  • “Educational tips and insights”
  • “Funny reactions”
  • “Motivational quotes”
  • “Controversial takes or debates”
  • “Moments explaining frameworks or concepts”
If you leave it empty, Mosaic will return a variety of interesting moments by default.

​
2. Number of Clips (max)

Set how many clips you want.
Example: 10 → returns up to 10 clips. If unsure, set a number higher than you need and filter later.

​
3. Target Duration (seconds)

How long each clip should roughly be. Examples:
  • 15 for TikTok/Reels/Shorts
  • 30–60 for YouTube or Twitter clips
This is a target, not an exact enforcement — clips may vary slightly for natural context.

​
Best Use Cases

Use the Clips tile when you want to quickly generate short videos from long footage, such as:
  • Podcasts → TikTok/Reels/Shorts
  • Interviews → Highlight moments
  • Webinars → Key insights
  • Reaction videos → Funny parts
  • Commentary streams → Shareable segments

Node params

ParamTypeRequiredDefaultNotes
promptstringNo""Optional selection guidance for clip scoring/ranking. Empty = all interesting moments.
num_clipsnumberNounsetRequested number of clips (integer, 1–20).
target_durationnumber (seconds)NounsetPreferred duration per clip (seconds, 1–300).

​
Parameter groups

  • Selection guidance: prompt
  • Output sizing: num_clips, target_duration

​
Runtime notes

  • If both num_clips and target_duration are omitted, backend picks clips using default heuristics.
  • If source is shorter than requested target_duration, backend may return pass-through/single output behavior.
  • If num_clips * target_duration exceeds source runtime, backend reduces effective clipping strategy.

​
Example

{
  "prompt": "Extract punchy educational tips with clear hooks",
  "num_clips": 8,
  "target_duration": 30
}
