Creating and Editing Clips with HipClip

March 24, 2024

This article delves into the process of instant clip creation and utilizing AI to automate your editing workflow, enhancing both the precision and effectiveness of your projects.

Instant Clip Creation

Step 1: Selecting Your Text

Begin by navigating to the transcription pane within your project. Here, you'll find the entire dialogue of your video transcribed into editable text.

To create a clip, simply highlight the paragraph or sentences that correspond to the segment of the video you wish to clip.

Step 2: Naming Your Clip

Once you've highlighted the desired text, a context menu appears, offering several options. Click on the "Create Clip" button.

A prompt will ask you to name your clip. Naming your clips descriptively can significantly streamline your editing process, especially when working on larger projects.

Step 3: Customizing Your Clip

After naming your clip, HipClip automatically creates a new clip based on the selected text. This clip now appears in your project's clip library, ready for further editing.

You can adjust the start and end points of the clip by dragging the edges in the timeline or entering specific time codes for precise editing.

AI Clips: Automating Your Editing Process

HipClip's AI clips feature is designed to automate the process of finding the best moments in your video. By analyzing the transcription and the video's content, it suggests segments that may be of interest for clipping.

To use this feature, navigate to the AI clips section of your project. Here, you'll see a list of suggested clips based on your video's content.

Editing AI-generated Clips

While the AI provides a great starting point, you may find that some clips require adjustments to perfectly capture the intended moments.

Similar to manual clip creation, you can edit these AI-generated clips by adjusting their start and end points, ensuring they align with your project's goals.

By leveraging the power of transcription-based editing and AI suggestions, you can dramatically reduce the time and effort required to produce engaging video content.
