FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    No. The AI identifies and extracts the clips, but you must do the actual creative editing, like adding text overlays or music, yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI upload the clips directly to TikTok or Instagram?

    No. The AI extracts the clips for you, but it does not have the tools to log into your social media accounts and post them.

    Can I use this with any video link?

    The AI uses the tool to create media from a URL, so it works with any direct video link it can access.

  • 04

    The AI analyzes the content of the footage to find segments that match the criteria you provide in your prompt.
