Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI clip maker?+

An AI clip maker uses AI to analyze a long video and automatically cut out the best short clips — reframed to vertical and captioned for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

How is quso.ai's AI clip maker different from other tools?+

Most AI clippers use speech loudness and visual motion as proxies for interesting. quso.ai's selection model is informed by performance patterns from 83,000+ measured YouTube posts. We know which moments correlate with retention, engagement, and subscriber growth, not just which are energetic. Clips optimized for retention outperform clips optimized for energy, and our data shows this directly.

What makes a clip go from average to viral?+

Retention. Our data on 83,000+ YouTube posts shows top-10% creators hold 73% of viewers vs 12% for the bottom decile, and the bottom decile posts 5x more content. Going viral is a retention problem, not a volume problem. A clip's hook determines its retention arc: if the first 2-3 seconds don't earn the next 12, the clip underperforms regardless of how good the rest is.

Which video formats clip best for social media?+

Long-form content like interviews, podcasts, webinars, and tutorials yields the most clip-worthy moments per minute. In our dataset, long-form YouTube videos earn 3x the engagement per post and 3.3x the watch-time. They pack in more depth and story arc. quso.ai extracts that depth into clips under 15 seconds: the length our data shows gets 4.6x the views of 60-second clips.

Does the clip caption matter as much as the video?+

Platform-dependent. On YouTube, title length is a strong correlate: titles with 80-100 characters average about 4x the views of short titles in our dataset. On TikTok, caption hashtag count is inversely correlated with reach (0 hashtags outperforms 7+). quso.ai generates platform-specific caption suggestions for each clip based on these patterns.

Is AI clipping useful for beginners or only advanced creators?+

Especially useful for beginners. Our data shows creator experience doesn't automatically compound. Within-creator performance actually trends slightly downward over the first 100 posts. What improves results is clip quality, not post count. AI clipping gives new creators the same editorial judgment as experienced ones from day one, without the learning curve.
