Highlight
Highlight is the Klipse workspace for turning long recordings into short clips. Upload a file or paste a YouTube link, choose the theme that matches the source, and let Klipse surface the segments most likely to work on their own.
Use it for
Finding short sections to review, export, or publish from a long source.
Start with
A local video file or a YouTube URL.
Main outputs
Ranked highlight segments with time ranges, summaries, reasons, and exportable clips.
Best next step
Export the selected segments, then package them for the channel that needs them.
When to use Highlight
Open Highlight when the source is too long to review manually and the goal is to find moments that can work as short clips. It works well for streams, lectures, matches, vlogs, interviews, and other recordings where the useful parts are buried inside the full video.
Each segment includes a summary, the reason it was selected, and a suitability score. That gives you enough context to decide what to export before you spend time editing or publishing.
Choosing a theme
Choose the theme that matches the source so the analysis looks for the right kind of moment. A sports recording and a vlog need different signals.
- Live Commerce — product reveals and selling moments.
- Education — clear explanations and key takeaways.
- Gaming — standout plays and reactions.
- Sports — decisive moments and momentum swings.
- Vlog — personal, story-driving beats.
- Interview — quotable answers and emotional peaks.
How analysis runs
Add a source by uploading a video file or pasting a YouTube link, then start the analysis. Klipse sends the video and selected theme to the highlight engine and tracks the job while it runs.
Long videos can take time, so analysis runs in the background. Klipse checks progress and moves the project into review when the segments are ready.
Reviewing and scoring
When analysis finishes, you get a list of suggested segments. Each item includes the details you need before deciding whether to export it:
- Start and end time, plus the clip's duration.
- A short summary of what happens in the moment.
- The reason it was flagged as a highlight.
- A suitability score from 0 to 1 — higher means a better fit for short-form, and low-scoring segments are filtered out by default.
Exporting clips
Select the segments you want and Klipse extracts them as individual MP4 clips. From there, send each clip to the next place it needs to go:
- Download the clips directly.
- Bring a clip back into NodeCanvas as a video node for further editing.
- Send clips on to a publish flow for YouTube or Instagram.
- Reopen a past analysis from your history to extract more clips later.
Typical workflow
- 1Add a sourceUpload a long video (MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV) or paste a YouTube link as your source.
- 2Pick a themeChoose the theme that matches your content so the analysis is tuned for the right kind of moment.
- 3Run the analysisStart the job and let Klipse AI scan the footage. Long videos take longer; progress updates as it works.
- 4Review the segmentsGo through the proposed segments with their summaries, reasons, and scores, and select the ones you want to keep.
- 5Export your clipsExtract the selected segments as MP4s, then download them or send them on to NodeCanvas or a publish node.
Credits are based on length: roughly one credit per minute of source video, so a shorter source costs less to analyze.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of source should I use?
Use Highlight for sources that are long enough to make manual review expensive: streams, interviews, lectures, matches, podcasts, webinars, or long YouTube videos.
Do I need to edit the clips after export?
Sometimes. Highlight finds and extracts relevant moments. Send a clip to VideoEditor when it still needs captions, pacing, overlays, audio work, or a different aspect ratio.
How are segments ranked?
Segments are ranked by how well they match the selected theme and how likely they are to work as short clips.
Can I come back to an analysis later?
Yes. Reopen a past analysis from history when you want to export more clips from the same source.
