How it works

Three steps, a couple of minutes

Paste the YouTube link

TikTok, Vimeo, X, Instagram and Facebook links work too, as does a direct link to a video file.

AI finds the moments worth posting

Hook, setup and payoff — chosen with the whole video in mind and scored, best first.

Open, tweak, export

Every clip is a normal project: change the captions, the headline or the cut, then export in 1080p or 4K.

Why it works

Why use CutLuma for this

From one episode to ten posts

Edited like a pro channel

Speaker in frame, jump cuts, punch-in zooms, word-by-word captions and emoji pop-ups.

Your own content

Use it on videos you made or have permission to use.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Is it free?

The editor is free. Magic Clips is AI, so it is part of the paid plans and uses AI minutes.

How long does it take?

A few minutes for an hour-long video: bringing it in, listening to it, then picking and scoring the clips.

Can I use someone else’s YouTube video?

Only with permission from whoever owns it. You confirm this when you paste the link.
