HotClip: Shorts & Clip Maker
Paste a YouTube link. HotClip reads its Most replayed graph and cuts the peak into a Short or Reel, saved to your gallery.
0:42 – 1:12
Pick a length and HotClip jumps to the hottest stretch. Drag across the graph to move it; the Short on the left follows.
Sample graph. In the app it is the real Most replayed data of your video.
YouTube draws a graph of the seconds viewers rewatch. HotClip reads it and suggests the three hottest moments for 15, 30, 60 or 90-second clips.
Not quite right? Adjust the start and end by hand, or drag the window along the graph. No graph on the video? Set the times yourself.
One clip, any platform. Choose the shape, the sharpness and what happens at the edges.
Tap Cut all and every suggestion is made in one go. Clips are encoded on your phone's own video chip, and only the part you cut is downloaded.
Leave the app and keep browsing: a notification shows the progress and tells you when the clips are ready.
Clips land in Movies/HotClip, so every gallery and editor finds them. Share to YouTube, Instagram or WhatsApp from the clip itself.
Need the whole video instead? Download it in any resolution it offers.
In the YouTube app, tap Share and pick HotClip. The link opens on the clip screen with the hottest moments already found.
