Hey folks! I've been trying to find some good stuff to chop up long videos into shorter, punchy clips for social media. Kinda tricky to get right without losing the vibe, ya know? Would love to hear what tools or tricks you all use for this kinda editing.

I usually just trim the vids myself, but I heard some AI tools can automatically detect exciting parts based on audio or motion. Has anyone tried that?
Does anyone know if these AI editors support multiple languages? I work with videos in Spanish and English.
I struggled at first but found that combining AI auto clips with some manual edits creates the best shorts.
Honestly, no AI tool beats a human eye for the best moments. But for quick edits, I've found some tools that speed up the rough cut a lot.
I've been messing with Lumen5 for making shorts from long videos. It kinda auto-generates content for you based on text and video segments.
I tried some free online AI editors but they limit the video length or add watermarks, kinda annoying.
I just started using Descript for quick video edits and it’s pretty neat for transcription and cutting down long vids.
Does anyone know if these AI tools mess up video quality when clipping? I wanna keep it crisp for socials.
For quick TikTok or Insta reels, sometimes I just use the native app’s trim tool but it’s limited for longer vids.
I've been using a few apps but honestly, some AI-powered ones are a game changer. They help find the highlights automatically which saves tons of time!
Been looking for something that can suggest best clips based on engagement prediction, anyone seen that?
Any recommendations for desktop software with AI features rather than web-based?
