Frequently asked questions.
What are the benefits of turning long videos into short video clips?
Long videos typically do not generate as much engagement on social media platforms compared with short-form video. By automatically turning long videos into short videos, you can significantly speed up the creation process and maximize the promotional opportunities of your long video on social media.
Additionally, social platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube favor short-form video content. If you are looking to grow your presence on social media platforms, creating short-form video is an important part of your content mix.
How does the Adobe Express Clip Maker work?
Our Clip Maker uses AI to pick out the best moments from your long videos and turns them into short, shareable clips. It adds dynamic subtitles and adjusts the orientation to make your clips suitable to post on Instagram Reels, TikTok or YouTube Shorts. Plus, you can customize your videos after they’ve been shorted into clips. Once your long videos have been cut into shorter clips, you can easily customize it within the full Adobe Express editor. Add text overlays, graphics, filters, animation, and so much more if you’d like.
