How to Turn One YouTube Video Into 20 Short Clips


Transform a single YouTube video into 20 short clips ready to publish on TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Complete step-by-step guide.


Introduction


You have a 30-minute YouTube video and want to extract 20 short clips to maximize your social media presence? That's exactly what KiraClip does automatically for you.


In this guide, we'll show you how to turn a YouTube video into 20 optimized short clips in just a few minutes, without any video editing skills.


Why Transform One Video Into Multiple Clips?


Maximize Your Reach


A long YouTube video can generate dozens of short clips, each reaching a different audience on different platforms. This is called content "repurposing."


Save Time


Instead of creating 20 clips manually (which would take hours), KiraClip does it automatically in minutes.


Optimize for Each Platform


Each platform (TikTok, Shorts, Reels) has its own specifics. KiraClip generates clips optimized for each one.


How It Works with KiraClip


Step 1: Paste Your YouTube Video URL


Simply copy your YouTube video URL from your browser and paste it into KiraClip.


Step 2: Automatic Detection of Best Moments


KiraClip automatically analyzes your video to identify:

  • High engagement moments (rhythm changes, volume)
  • Natural transitions
  • Passages without prolonged silence
  • Significant visual changes

  • Step 3: Automatic Splitting


    The system automatically splits your video into clips of optimal duration (15-60 seconds depending on the target platform).


    Step 4: Add Subtitles and Templates


    Each clip automatically receives:

  • Styled subtitles adapted to the platform
  • A modern and engaging template
  • An optimized format (9:16 for TikTok, Shorts, Reels)

  • Step 5: Export and Publish


    All your clips are ready to be downloaded and published directly on your social networks.


    Tips to Maximize the Number of Clips


    Long Videos = More Clips


    The longer your source video, the more clips you can generate. A 30-minute video can easily generate 15-20 clips.


    Varied Content


    Videos with multiple topics or sections are better suited for splitting into multiple clips.


    Regular Strong Moments


    If your video contains strong moments regularly spaced, you'll get more quality clips.


    Concrete Use Cases


    Podcasts


    Turn a 1-hour podcast into 20 short clips, each highlighting a key point from the discussion.


    Tutorials


    A 45-minute tutorial can become 15-20 short clips, each explaining a specific step.


    Interviews


    A long interview can generate many clips, each highlighting a quote or strong moment.
