Get startedThese companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Start by importing your video into your editor. Then switch the layout to a vertical aspect ratio—something tall and eye-catching. This ensures your final result fills the screen on phones. You don’t need to memorize fancy numbers; just pick a vertical option like 9:16 or a custom ratio that does the trick.
02
Scroll through your footage, either by scanning the timeline or reading through the auto-generated transcript. Flag moments that will resonate on social media—emotional reactions, punchlines, or quick how-tos. A decent vertical clip maker should help you repurpose your best moments in one or two clicks.
03
Cut out dead air and filler words to keep your audience tuned in. You can also add text overlays, subtitles, or pop-up images (memes, anyone?) to hold attention. Once it flows and looks stellar, export it or publish it straight to your platform of choice. That’s all it takes to create a vertical clip that slays on social.
Tired of blindly scrubbing a timeline? A vertical clip maker lets you grab exactly what you want—scan your transcript for key phrases, highlight them, then watch your new vertical-friendly cut emerge.
Adding a branded look to your vertical clips is easy. Keep your colors, fonts, and logos consistent across all the short snippets you share. Make it once, then reuse or tweak for your next post.
Instead of fumbling between various tools for trimming, captions, and resizing, do it all in one place. Export your final vertical clip and post immediately on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts—wherever you want that sweet vertical space.
A vertical clip maker doesn’t just repurpose; it amplifies your content's potential.
Generate transcripts automatically so you can edit both text and video at the same time—a surefire time-saver when you only need short clips.
Lock in your brand’s style. Save your preferred text and color palette as a reusable template to churn out consistent vertical clips fast.
Some vertical clip makers offer AI to highlight your most engaging moments. Honestly, let the machine do the busywork so you don’t have to.
Render your clip in any size or format needed for social media. No fuss, no repeated resizing. Just pick your platform, and you’re good to go.
