Get started
Your first clip
You make your first clips in three moves: paste a link, pick a style, and press Process clips. This guide walks you through each step, from the link to a posted clip, in about five minutes.
1. Paste a link or upload a video
- Open Clipper from the sidebar.
- Paste a YouTube link into Paste a YouTube link... and press Continue, or press Upload a video to pick a file from your computer.
- Rewivo shows Reading your video... while it fetches the title, length and available qualities, then opens Set up your clips.
A link that isn't YouTube shows Enter a valid YouTube link. Try the full

2. Set up your clips
The setup is a stepper. You can keep every default and press Next until Review; Rewivo remembers what you pick for next time.
| Step | What you choose | Good first choice |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Speech language, clip language, source quality, only part of the video, specific moments, subtitles | Leave Auto Detect and the entire video |
| Clipper | Genre, export resolution, clip length, format, layout, source credit | Auto genre and length, 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok |
| Template | A branded overlay per format (when your plan includes templates) | None for now |
| Caption | Caption style, emoji on key words, censor curse words | Any style you like the look of |
| Hook | An opening card, its mode and voice | A card, Keep rolling |
| Review | Everything above, the estimated tokens and your balance | Press Process clips |
Every option is explained in .
3. Watch it work
The run opens in your results with a live status: Downloading, Transcribing, Analyzing (the AI finds, edits, ranks and picks the moments), then Rendering. Each clip appears as soon as it is ready.
You can close the page: we email you when the clips are ready. See for what each status means.
4. Use your clips
On each clip card you can:
- Download the clip, or Download all from the run's menu.
- Open it in the Video Editor (Edit › Video) to change anything. See .
- Send it: copy its title, caption and hashtags per platform, or Copy link for a public page.
- Add to collection to keep it with others. See .
5. Post it
- Connect your accounts once in Platform. See .
- Open Scheduler › New post, pick the clip, the accounts and a time, and press Schedule. See .
Tips for better clips
- Pick the right genre. Podcast, Education, Comedy, Story, Motivation, Reaction, Gaming and Sports each change what counts as a strong moment.
- Ask for moments. "Every time someone scores" works better than "football". See .
- Pick the right layout. Games puts a facecam on top; Podcast follows whoever speaks. See .
FAQ
How long does a run take?
Most runs finish in a few minutes; long videos take longer. If your plan's run slots are busy, the run waits in a queue and shows its place (Queued 2/3).
What does a run cost?
About one credit per minute of source video you clip, plus extras such as the hook voice. The Review step shows the estimate before you start. See .
Why do my clips have a watermark?
Clips made in a workspace that hasn't bought credits carry the Rewivo watermark. Buy any amount of credits, then use Remove watermark on the run to rebuild its clips without it, free.
