How it works

From a 2-hour recording to 10 minutes of work.

Three steps. No timeline editor. No manual scrubbing. Paste a URL, get back clips ranked by virality score with captions burned in — ready to post.

Paste a video URL

Paste any YouTube or Twitch URL — or upload an MP4 directly. Long-form content up to your tier's source limit. Pick a niche template (sports, podcasts, gaming, education) and your aspect ratios.

Default aspect ratio is 9:16 (TikTok / Reels / Shorts). Add 1:1 (X / LinkedIn) or 16:9 (YouTube long-form Shorts placement) if you cross-post.

Wait 2-5 minutes

Here's exactly what happens while the queue runs. No timeline editor, no manual scrubbing — the worker handles the entire pipeline.

  • Source download10-30s

    We grab the video via yt-dlp and your authenticated session. No re-uploads from you.

  • Transcription30-90s

    OpenAI Whisper transcribes the audio with speaker diarization for multi-speaker shows.

  • Scoring15-30s

    Our AI scores every 15-second segment on hook strength + peak energy + visual interest + quotability. We rank segments by composite virality score.

  • Caption refinement10-30s per clip

    GPT-4 cleans Whisper's output — fixes proper names, gets technical jargon right, removes filler words ('um', 'uh') if you've enabled the silence cutter.

  • Render90-180s per clip

    FFmpeg renders each clip in your selected aspect ratios with captions burned in, virality score overlay, and watermark if you're on the Free tier.

Post or schedule

Your clips are ready. Each one shows a thumbnail, AI-drafted title, caption preview, virality score with reasoning, and the source timestamp range.

  • Post directly to YouTube
    Click Post. PublishModal opens. AI auto-fills title, description, tags, and hashtags. Review, tweak, click Publish. Goes up as a YouTube Short with your chosen privacy setting.
  • Bulk post
    Select multiple clips. Click 'Post N clips'. ReUpload publishes each one sequentially with per-clip AI metadata and progress toasts.
  • Download for TikTok / Reels
    Click Download → save the MP4 → post manually until our direct OAuth ships (in app review).
  • Edit captions
    Click Edit on any clip. Fix typos or change words. Save. Re-renders captions only (~90s) without re-transcribing.
  • Multi-aspect download
    Clips rendered in multiple aspects show a Download dropdown — pick which aspect to grab.
The science

What “climax-first” actually means.

Most AI clippers rank by timestamp. They cut “every 8 minutes” and you get a chronological tour of your show.

ReUpload ranks by peak energy. The big laugh, the surprising fact, the moment your guest dropped the truth bomb — those score higher than the calm setup or the wrap-up.

So when we render your top 6 clips, you get your show's six highest-leverage moments — not the first six segments that happened to be timestamped earliest.

This matters because completion rate is the dominant signal on TikTok / Reels / Shorts in 2026. A clip from the climax has a better hook than a clip from the intro — and a better hook means higher completion, which means more reach.

Boundaries

What our AI does not do.

We're transparent about what's still you. The AI doesn't:

  • Write your show for you. We work with what's already in the recording.
  • Add fake reactions. If your guest didn't laugh, we don't add canned laughter.
  • Lie in captions. GPT-4 cleans transcription but doesn't add words you didn't say.
  • Generate AI faces. We don't insert deepfake reactions. Your face is your face.
  • Replace bad source video. If your audio's garbage, your clips will reflect that. Tip: invest in a $100 USB mic before you invest in $14/month software.
