I Built ClipForge — AI That Repurposes Your Long Videos Into 10+ Short Clips in One Click
Hey everyone,
I've been working on ClipForge for the past few weeks — an AI tool that takes your long-form videos and automatically cuts them into 10+ short, shareable clips.
The problem I kept running into: I'd record a 45-minute tutorial or deep-dive, but getting even 2-3 decent short-form clips out of it would take hours of manual editing. That time adds up fast when you're trying to maintain a content calendar.
So I built ClipForge to handle it. Drop in a long video, and it:
- Finds the best highlight moments using AI
- Auto-captions every clip
- Suggests hooks and titles
- Exports in vertical/social-friendly formats
Currently in early access — would love feedback from anyone else who's struggled with the content repurposing grind. What's your current workflow for turning long content into short clips?

ClipForge is solving a real workflow pain, but the name is where the product gets boxed in.
“ClipForge” is clear, but it also makes the product feel narrower and more commodity than what it actually is.
You’re not really selling clipping.
You’re selling content extraction, packaging, and distribution leverage.
The user is not buying “10 clips.”
They’re buying back hours of editing and a faster path from one recording to multi-platform reach.
That’s a bigger product than the current name suggests.
If this stays framed like a clip tool, it competes with every lightweight repurposer.
If it’s framed like content output infrastructure, the category gets much stronger.
Xevoa.com would carry that much better if you lean into content systems instead of clip generation.
