Local shorts workflow

Make short clips without uploading the long video.

Polley AutoClip analyzes video files already stored on your Windows computer and exports multiple short-form clips to a folder. The source stays local, and the original recording remains unchanged.

SHORT CLIPS
Offline-first:No browser upload, no waiting for a cloud transfer, and no need to send unreleased footage to an online clipping service.
Four stages

From source file to clip folder

1

Choose a video

Drop in a local long-form recording such as gameplay, a podcast, commentary, or a tutorial.

2

Select a profile

Use Retro for dialogue-heavy material or Modern for faster, more active footage.

3

Set boundaries

Choose useful duration and output settings for the kind of short-form content you plan to review.

4

Generate clips

Export multiple candidates locally, then inspect them before scheduling or uploading.

Retro profile

A better starting point for story games, RPG dialogue, interviews, and material where spoken context matters.

  • Favors dialogue-driven moments
  • Useful for narrative footage
  • Allows a calmer pace

Modern profile

A starting point for energetic gameplay, reactions, fast tutorials, and footage with frequent visible activity.

  • Favors active moments
  • Useful for faster material
  • Supports punchier candidates

Generated does not mean automatically published

AutoClip creates candidates. Review each exported file for context, clean beginnings and endings, and whether the moment makes sense to someone who did not watch the original recording.

Before posting a Short

  • Confirm the clip contains a complete idea.
  • Check that speech does not begin or end abruptly.
  • Add captions when the platform or audience benefits.
  • Verify orientation and framing in your publishing workflow.
  • Keep only the candidates worth representing the full video.

Turn one local recording into multiple candidates.

Polley AutoClip is a one-time-purchase Windows desktop tool.
