The AI Content Engine automatically cuts a long video into up to fifteen short clips, scores how promising each one is and supplies titles, a caption and hashtags with it.
The manual work this replaces is rewatching an hour of video to find the usable moments. Available from Pro.
What the AI Content Engine does
| Part | What it produces |
|---|---|
| Clips | Up to 15 short fragments, cut on meaningful moments |
| Virality score | A 0 to 100 grade per clip, so you know which to post first |
| Content pack | Three titles, a caption, 15 to 20 hashtags and an improved opening line |
| Burned-in subtitles | Optional, for platforms where people watch without sound |
Example: what you put in, what you get back
You paste a YouTube link to a 42-minute interview and ask for 5 clips. A few minutes later:
Clip 3 , 0:47 · score 87 (High)
"The biggest mistake I made was hiring too early"
Titles: "The mistake that cost me 40,000" · "Do NOT hire too early" · "What nobody tells you about scaling"
Caption: Three years ago I thought growing meant more people. It did not.
Hashtags: #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #scaling #leadership #startup (+13)

The score is the point: you do not get five equivalent clips but a ranking, so you know which one goes out on Monday and which one can wait.
How to use it
- Open AI Content Engine in the sidebar
- Paste a YouTube URL or a direct video URL
- Choose the number of clips, 1 to 15, default 5
- Optionally turn on Burn in captions
- Click Generate viral clips
- Wait 5 to 10 minutes; processing runs in the background, you can close the screen
- The clips appear with scores, content packs and download buttons
How the virality score works
The score is a weighted judgement across five dimensions:
| Dimension | Weight | Why it counts |
|---|---|---|
| Hook strength, the opening line | 30% | The first two seconds decide whether anyone keeps watching |
| Emotional intensity | 20% | Flat fragments rarely get shared |
| Engagement potential | 20% | Does it invite replies or forwarding |
| Curiosity gap | 15% | Does it promise something you have to stay for |
| Speech variation and pace | 15% | Monotone delivery loses viewers |
Labels: High (80-100), Medium (50-79), Low (under 50).
A low score does not mean a clip is bad, only that it will probably do less well as a standalone fragment.
What it costs
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| Base cost per video, transcription and analysis | 500 |
| Per clip, cutting, scoring and content pack | 600 |
| 5 clips, the default | 3,500 |
| 10 clips | 6,500 |
| 15 clips, the maximum | 9,500 |
If processing fails, you get the credits back. See The credit system.
Limits
- Up to 15 clips per video.
- The video has to be publicly reachable. A private or unlisted video, or one behind a login, cannot be fetched.
- Spoken content works best. The analysis leans on the transcript, so music videos and footage without speech yield little.
- No automatic publishing. You download the clips and post them yourself; the engine does not post to social channels.
- The crop is optimised for vertical short-form video; widescreen footage gets cropped.
- Burning in subtitles cannot be undone; generate again if you decide against them.
- Processing takes minutes, not seconds. For a long video expect the upper end of 5 to 10 minutes.
Troubleshooting
The video cannot be fetched. It is private, deleted or region-restricted. Test the URL in an incognito window; if you cannot see it there, neither can we.
Processing seems stuck. Feel free to close the screen; it runs in the background and clips appear by themselves. If it takes longer than fifteen minutes, start again; failed runs are refunded.
The clips are cut at the wrong moments. The engine cuts on topic transitions in the transcript. Heavy background noise or people talking over each other makes that harder.
All the scores are low. Usually with a video without clear statements or stories. Material with concrete anecdotes and opinions scores higher.
The hashtags do not fit my market. They follow the clip's content, not your industry. Adjust them before posting, or ask GENI in chat for a set that suits your audience.
Frequently asked questions
Which video sources are supported? YouTube URLs and direct links to a video file.
Can GENI schedule this? You can start processing and ask for its status through chat. Judging and posting clips stays human work, because that is exactly where your taste is needed.
What language are the titles and captions in? They follow the language of the video.
What is the difference with the Short Generator? The Short Generator makes shorts out of a video. The AI Content Engine adds scoring, three title variants, a caption, hashtags and a rewritten hook, so you get a ranking and ready-to-use copy.
May I make clips from someone else's video? Technically you can, legally it is your responsibility. Use material you hold the rights to.
