FASTPIX AI VIDEO CLIPPING AGENT
Turn long videos into ranked, ready-to-post clips.
Point the agent at a VOD asset or a live stream. It finds the best moments, ranks them, and renders each one in every aspect ratio with your brand and captions, ready to publish.
A clipping engine you build into your product, not an app your creators log into. One call in (fp.clipping.run()); ranked, multi-aspect clips out.
TRUSTED BY PRODUCT TEAMS SHIPPING VIDEO AT SCALE
WHAT YOU GET
One long video in. A set of ranked, finished clips out.
Clipping agent transforms long videos into branded, captioned, post-ready clips by automatically finding highlights, editing, reframing, and ranking every moment.
Ranked, not random
The best moments surface first, scored for what performs in short-form, so editors start from the top of the list instead of scrubbing the whole video.
Every aspect ratio, branded
Each clip is rendered in 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, and 16:9 with your brand template (watermark, font, intro card) and captions in 50+ languages, applied automatically.
VOD and live
Clip finished uploads, or clip mid-broadcast in about 12 seconds from a producer cut, with optional auto-publish to social platforms.
Why clipping is hard at platform scale
Generic AI clippers don't know your domain. Your creators ship slow.
Sports clipping. News clipping. Lecture clipping. Podcast clipping. Product demo clipping. They look similar; they score differently. Generalist models lose the domain signal.
Generic CHAIN: sports goal-clip and lecture-clip ranked the same way.
A goal moment is 4-8 seconds of high intensity. A lecture moment is 90 seconds of clarity + completeness. Generic ranking surfaces the wrong thing. Genre tuning is the wedge.
Creator brand templates: one template per creator, every aspect ratio.
Your platform has 50K creators. Each wants their watermark, font, logo color, intro card. Applied automatically at compose. Without you building a per-creator template engine on top of the clipper.
Live mid-event clipping: a goal clip 90 seconds late gets a fraction of the engagement.
Sports social is realtime. Mux's live offering doesn't expose mid-event clipping. Traditional broadcast tooling is post-event only. OpusClip is VOD-only. fp.live.clip() during the broadcast is the only path.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN YOUR PRODUCT
Long video in. Ranked clips out.

Two pipes: VOD pipe runs on every upload. Live pipe runs mid-event during a broadcast. Both share CHAIN scoring and the brand template engine.

FIVE STEPS, SOURCE TO PUBLISH
Ingest. Index. Score. Compose. Deliver.
01
Ingest
VOD asset uploaded or Live stream connected. fp.clipping.run() called with Genre — sports, news, lecture, podcast, creator, product.
02
Index
Multimodal index: transcript + scene boundaries + face / object detection + vision understanding + OCR + NER + Audio events. Built once per asset; reused across every clip job.
03
Score
Every candidate scored on CHAIN. Per-Genre weights applied. Top-N retained; below-threshold suppressed.
04
Compose
Top-N clips rendered in 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9. Brand template applied. Captions in target languages. All aspects render in parallel.
05
Deliver
Playback IDs, Optional simulcast push to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Reels, X, Facebook.
WHAT MAKES IT POWERFUL
Clips ranked by what actually performs, per domain.
Every candidate moment is ranked by CHAIN scoring across five signals, tuned per domain (Podcasts, Educational / Webinar, Comedy, Vlogs, Gaming, Sports, News, Movies, Basketball, NFL, Travel ). You get the best clips first, not a pile to sort through. Auto feature finds the genre and gives the ranked clip.
C
Contextual
How well does the clip stand alone? Does it depend on context the viewer doesn't have? Filters out cliffhanger moments that need 90 seconds of setup.
H
Hook
First-second strength. Does the clip earn attention in the swipe-past world? Title-rate proxy.
A
Action
Pace of meaningful events: speech moments, visual changes, demonstrated outcomes. High for sports. Lower-and-different for lectures.
I
Intensity
Volume + energy + emotional arc. Sports: goal celebration. News: breaking moment. Lecture: clear insight. Each weighted differently per Genre.
N
Narrative
Story completeness. Does the clip have a beginning, middle, end? Top-scoring clips read as standalone stories.

FEATURED CUSTOMER
How Superbit ships CHAIN-scored shorts to every creator dashboard.
Superbit is a creator platform where long-form uploads become short-form content for social. Theo's team wired Clipping Agent with Genre:creator: every new VOD asset auto-triggers clipping with the creator's brand template. Multi-aspect outputs (9:16 for TikTok and Shorts, 1:1 for feed, 16:9 for YouTube) render in parallel. CHAIN-scored clips surface in the creator dashboard ranked by predicted engagement. Creators went from spending hours editing per episode to publishing in under 10 minutes.

Questions buyers ask before going to production.
How does AI Video Clipping Agent compare to OpusClip?
OpusClip is excellent at clipping as a single feature. FastPix bundles clipping with the rest of the video stack (encoding, delivery, Player, Data, In-Video AI) plus per-genre tuning + Live mid-event clipping. If clipping is one feature in your video product, FastPix is the lower total. If clipping is the entire product, OpusClip's training data and creator marketplace win.What is CHAIN?
