Video clipping tools

Pick a reusable format

Use the same 9:16 frame and caption design across a batch of clips. For wide interviews or tutorials, try blurred fit to keep people and on-screen text in view.

Build a series from one source

Fixed-Length Clipping keeps parts in order. Use Automatic Best Moments when you want individual excerpts that can be shared in any sequence.

Choose how to deliver each Reel

Save MP4s to post in Instagram, or use Clipforge publishing when an eligible Instagram account is connected and the feature is enabled.
