Automated Video Short Extraction Agent

Transform Long-Form Videos into High-Impact, Traffic-Boosting Shorts

At a Glance

Modern marketing teams, influencers, and content creators need engaging short-form video clips to drive traffic to their primary content. However, sifting through hours of video to find the perfect "hook" can be incredibly time-intensive and prone to inconsistency.

The Automated Video Short Extraction Agent solves this challenge by using AI to:

• Extract Transcripts from full-length videos (podcasts, YouTube videos, pre-recorded media)

• Identify Key Hooks that resonate most with viewers

• Generate Short Clips complete with automated, animated captions to amplify engagement

By automating up to 70–80% of the entire process, marketing teams can focus more on strategy and final approvals—rather than manual editing.

Who Is This For?

This workflow is ideal for:

• Marketing Teams needing rapid turnaround on social media clips

• Influencers & Creators looking to maximize reach with minimal editing overhead

• Social Media Managers who want consistent, high-quality short-form content

• Businesses & Agencies aiming to repurpose long-form webinars, podcasts, and demos into shareable highlights

The Core Challenge

Creating engaging video shorts from long-form content presents significant obstacles:

• Manual & Time-Consuming: Marketing teams often spend hours scanning for highlights, leading to bottlenecks

• Quality Control Issues: Human-led editing can be subjective, risking missed opportunities for viral moments

• Low Engagement: Without compelling teaser clips, audiences may never discover your full-length content

• Inconsistent Output: When multiple team members handle editing, quality and style can vary dramatically

The Solution: Automate. Extract. Engage.

This workflow delivers a comprehensive solution through:

✓ End-to-End Automation: From transcript extraction to final clip generation, AI handles the heavy lifting ✓ AI-Identified Hook Points: An embedded AI agent scans videos for moments most likely to captivate viewers ✓ Seamless Clip Creation: Integrated AI modules produce short videos with dynamic captions already burned in ✓ Consistent Results: Standardized automated workflows ensure each clip meets your quality benchmarks

How It Works – Technical Flow

1️⃣ Input Video URL: Provide a YouTube link or a file path to your pre-recorded content

2️⃣ Transcript Extraction: The workflow uses an AI-based transcription service (AssemblyAI) to convert audio into text

3️⃣ AI Hook Identification: A specialized NLP model finds key timestamps and exciting moments based on context, keywords, and viewer engagement patterns

4️⃣ Short Creation & Captioning:

• The workflow calls another AI tool (ShotStack) to precisely clip the identified segments

• Animated captions and branding elements are automatically added for maximum viewer retention

5️⃣ Output & Review: A list of downloadable short videos is generated—each with shareable links and embedded captions
