emailnickhristov@gmail.com If you are sitting on hours of long-form video — podcasts, webinars, livestreams, or YouTube uploads — you are also sitting on dozens of short clips you have not posted yet. The problem has always been time: manually finding the best moments, cropping them vertical, and captioning them takes hours. In 2026, AI does it for you in minutes. Here is how to repurpose videos with AI using KlapAI.
Why Repurposing Is the Highest-ROI Content Strategy
Short-form video is where attention lives, but producing it from scratch every day is exhausting. Repurposing flips the equation: one long video becomes a week of short content. You have already done the hard creative work — repurposing just unlocks its full reach.
Step 1: Upload Your Long-Form Video
In KlapAI, paste a YouTube link or upload a file directly. The tool accepts long videos — full podcast episodes and hour-long webinars are no problem. KlapAI transcribes the audio and analyzes the full timeline before suggesting clips.
Step 2: Let the AI Find the Best Moments
This is where KlapAI earns its keep. Its model scans your video for self-contained, high-engagement moments — a strong hook, a punchy quote, a complete story beat — and proposes them as individual clips. Instead of scrubbing a timeline, you review a list of ready-made candidates.
Pro tip: Look for clips with a clear hook in the first two seconds. KlapAI ranks suggestions, but you know your audience best.
Step 3: Auto-Crop and Caption
KlapAI reframes each clip to vertical 9:16, keeping the speaker centered using face tracking. It then adds animated captions — which are essential, since most short-form video is watched on mute. You can adjust caption style, fonts, and colors to match your brand in a couple of clicks.
Step 4: Batch Export and Schedule
Once you are happy, export all your clips at once. From a single 45-minute video you can realistically pull 8–15 usable shorts. That is two weeks of daily posting from one recording session.
How Much Does KlapAI Cost?
KlapAI starts around $29/month, which includes enough monthly clip generation for most solo creators and small teams. When you compare that to the hours of manual editing it replaces, the effective cost-per-clip is tiny. See our full KlapAI review for a breakdown of each plan tier.
Repurposing Workflow Checklist
- Record or select one long-form video.

The creators winning in 2026 are not necessarily making more content — they are extracting more value from each piece they already make. AI repurposing with KlapAI is the simplest way to do exactly that.
