Example output

Real output of this tool, generated on 2026-10-07 from a video in the public library: MrBeast Joins The Sharks And Likes What He Sees | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global (Shark Tank Global). It is shown unedited; a run on the same video can word things differently.

1. 1:31-2:02 (31 s) Playing a game
   Demonstrates the Ball 2 live by shaking it as hard as possible for 10 seconds.
   "So I'm going to show you quick. But what we want to do is play a game. So we're going to do a really simple one where we're just going to shake the ball to as hard as we can for 10 seconds."
2. 2:34-3:04 (30 s) 10 feet of death
   Shows the live coding demonstration of a new game using AI on the spot.
   "We're going to make a game. Who can throw it as close to 10 feet as possible? And you can't go over. If you go over, you lose."
3. 4:43-5:17 (34 s) Creative perspective
   Explains why the product appeals to creativity and discusses pricing concerns.
   "Actually, you know, as someone who grew up very creative, I could see myself back when I was 13, 14 years old, you know, talking to the AI and telling it, hey, I throw this ball at the wall, figure out who threw it the hardest and a bunch of stupid stuff like this."

The tool gives timestamps only. It does not cut or render video.

How the times are set

The AI only names the first and last transcript line of a moment. Code takes the start of the first line and the end of the last, then adds or removes whole lines until the clip lasts 15 to 60 seconds. Clips that overlap a better one are dropped, and clips that start mid-thought ("and", "so", "it") are listed after the ones that stand on their own. A moment whose quote is not in the transcript is removed.

Limits you should know

AI tools need a free account. A free account gets 5 runs for videos up to 60 minutes. Pro allows 30 runs per hour for videos up to 120 minutes. A run that fails or finds nothing reliable is not counted.
Results are private to you. They are not added to the public transcript library and not listed in the sitemap.
AI output can contain mistakes. Every title and sentence is checked against the transcript and dropped if it is not supported, but you should still read the result before you publish it.
Times follow the transcript lines, so a clip may start or end a second or two away from the ideal cut. Trim it in your editor.

FAQ

Does it cut the video for me?

No. It gives start and end times; you cut the clips in your own editor.

How long are the clips?

Between 15 and 60 seconds. Pro can ask for 15-30, 30-45 or 45-60 seconds.

Can I import the list into my editor?

Download the CSV or JSON. Edit decision lists (EDL) are not available yet.

Why are some moments marked "starts mid-thought"?

Their first line begins with a word that points back, such as "and" or "it". Check the line before when you cut.

Is the result public?

No. It is private to you and not added to the public library.
