YouTube Shorts Clip Finder - Viral Moments, Timestamps & Captions

Turn long YouTube videos (podcasts, interviews, streams, webinars, talks) into ready-to-cut Shorts, TikToks and Reels. For every video this actor finds the strongest moments and returns start/end timestamps, a virality score, the hook line, a suggested title, hashtags, the clip transcript and SRT subtitles.

No downloads and no AI keys: it reads the public captions, so it is fast and cheap. Perfect for clippers, agencies, podcasters and creators who repurpose long content.

What you get for each clip

Field	Example
`startSeconds` / `endSeconds`	`612.4` / `655.0`
`viralityScore`	`8.7` (1-10)
`hook`	"Why did you quit your job at Google after only two years?"
`suggestedTitle`	"Why did you quit your job at Google after only two years?"
`suggestedHashtags`	`["#podcast", "#startup", "#google"]`
`transcript`	full text of the clip
`srt`	subtitles timed from 0, ready for CapCut / Premiere / DaVinci
`clipUrl`	link that opens the video at the clip start
`whyThisClip`	"strong opening line, concrete numbers, ends on a complete thought"

How the moments are chosen

Every 15-180 s window that starts on a sentence is scored on what makes short clips work:

a strong first line (question, numbers/money, curiosity words) - the first 2 seconds decide retention;
concrete numbers, emotion and a twist/contrast;
a complete ending (no cut mid-sentence) and a fast, clear speaking pace;
intros ("welcome back to the show"), ads and topic changes are skipped automatically.

Clips never overlap and are sorted by score.

Input

Field	Description
`videoUrls`	Videos, playlists or channels (@handle)
`clipsPerVideo`	Best moments per video (default 5)
`minClipSeconds` / `maxClipSeconds`	Clip length range (default 20-55 s, Shorts-ready)
`minViralityScore`	Skip weaker moments
`hashtags`	Your hashtags added to every suggestion
`includeSrt`	Add SRT subtitles (default on)
`languages`	Preferred caption languages

Example output (illustrative)

{
  "videoTitle": "Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address",
  "rank": 1,
  "startSeconds": 541.2,
  "endSeconds": 589.0,
  "durationSeconds": 47.8,

}

Pricing

Pay per result: you only pay for clips saved to the dataset. Videos without captions are skipped for free.

FAQ

Does it download or cut the video? No. It returns the exact timestamps and subtitles; cut the clip in any editor or with ffmpeg (ffmpeg -ss START -to END).

Which videos work best? Talking content with captions: podcasts, interviews, keynotes, streams. Music videos have no useful transcript.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes - point it at a channel and schedule it daily to get fresh clip ideas from every new episode.

Legal

This actor reads publicly available captions. Make sure you have the rights or permission to repurpose the content you clip.
