How AI finds specific moments in your videos

Upload any video and our AI builds a complete map of the content: every topic discussed, every emotional peak, every strong statement, every reaction, and every potential highlight. Each moment is scored for engagement potential and tagged by type.

Browse results by category (insights, reactions, humor, hooks, quotes) or search for specific topics. Every detected moment includes a timestamp and surrounding context so you can quickly decide which ones to clip.

How AI finds specific moments in your videos

What it finds

What kinds of moments does the AI detect?

The AI identifies moments that audiences engage with: surprising insights, strong opinions, emotional reactions, humor, clear takeaways, compelling stories, quotable one-liners, and natural hooks that grab attention.

It also detects structural moments like topic changes, introductions, conclusions, and calls to action. Search for any specific topic, name, or phrase to find exactly what you're looking for in seconds.

Speed

Search hours of video in seconds

Manually finding specific moments means watching footage in real-time and taking notes. A 2-hour video takes 2 hours to review. Our AI indexes the entire video in minutes and lets you search the results instantly.

This is especially valuable for content teams managing large libraries of video content, researchers working with interview footage, and creators repurposing long-form content into short clips.

"The Choppity team have been shipping new updates to the product which I am quite happy about. It's getting faster and they are also giving us the features we've been asking for!"

Amy L.

Finance creator

"In the past I've tried to get my YouTube video editor to create mass amount of short form content, but they struggled. Economically it didn't make sense and the quality wasn't great. Choppity has been an INCREDIBLE asset in scaling up my short-form video reach. Having ALL the clips automatically clipped, styled and ready to publish has been the biggest lever to growing my businesses."
