Automatically turn long videos into short-form clips — and approve every one.
Polley AutoClip is a desktop tool that analyzes long videos and automatically cuts them into short, share-ready clips for platforms like YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Reels.
Instead of scrubbing timelines or manually cutting highlights, you drop in a video, review the ranked candidates, trim and reorder them, and export only the moments you approve — in original, 9:16 center-crop, or 9:16 blurred-background layouts.
This is a one-time purchase that runs entirely offline with your existing video files.
Tip: add an “output folder full of clips” screenshot/GIF here if you have one — it converts extremely well.

One engine, reviewed by you
AutoClip has a single clipping engine that tunes itself to the source: dialogue-style videos are cut at natural speech pauses, while montage-style videos follow scene changes and audio events. Nothing is exported until you approve it.
Ranked review, not a black box
- • Every candidate is ranked with a score and reason
- • Watch your video the moment you pick it — no waiting
- • A clip timeline shows every candidate over the waveform, with scene markers
- • Preview each clip, then trim by typing or dragging either edge of its block
- • Reorder, select, or reject — selected order is output order
- • Analysis is cached; edits never rescan the video
Three output layouts
- • Original aspect ratio, untouched
- • 9:16 center crop with adjustable position and zoom
- • 9:16 full video over a blurred background
- • Vertical exports are exactly 1080×1920, upload-ready
Adjustable controls
Defaults are tuned to work well out of the box, but power users can dial things in.
- • Minimum, target, and maximum clip length
- • Maximum number of candidates to review
- • Scene detection sensitivity
