Use /clip in brand chat to turn source video into short-form clips. Clip work runs as an async job. You can keep chatting while daoco probes the source video, transcribes it, scouts candidate moments, reviews quality, and renders ready clips.

Start a clip job

Attach or select a video, then ask for clips in brand chat.
/clip Find 3 shareable 30-second clips from this video.
/clip Pull the section where I explain pricing and make it a short clip.
/clip Find the strongest product demo moments and render ready clips.
A plain balanced /clip request aims to produce 3 ready clips. You can ask for a different number when you need more or fewer.
Clipping uses premium tokens when rendered clips are produced. For a source video up to 1 hour, the first rendered clip costs 2 premium tokens and each additional rendered clip costs 1 premium token.

What happens during clipping

The Clip Review panel opens when the job starts. It may show:
  • Source video preview.
  • Job progress and status.
  • Candidate clips with start time, end time, and duration.
  • Transcript excerpts.
  • Ready, held, failed, or proposed status.
  • Render, reject, retry, cancel, and resume actions when available.

How daoco chooses clips

daoco looks for moments with a clear claim, payoff, tension, or useful takeaway. It uses transcript scouting and visual review together when available. Visual review checks whether the clip is usable on screen. It looks for subject clarity, crop quality, readable visuals, framing, and energy.
Greeting or setup openings are allowed. A clip is not rejected only because it starts with a welcome, thank-you, or setup line.

Ready and held clips

  • Ready clips passed the review path and can be used or downloaded.
  • Held clips may need manual review before rendering.
  • Failed clips hit a processing issue. Retry the job or adjust the source.
  • Proposed clips are candidate moments that still need rendering or review.
If visual review cannot complete, transcript-strong clips may still render with a degraded transcript-only decision.

Manual render controls

Use manual render when you want to render a candidate that daoco did not auto-render. Use reject when a candidate is not useful. Use regenerate when you want daoco to scout new options from the same source.

Second cuts

After reviewing a clip, you can request a second cut. Second cuts can use:
  • Fast trim: Adjusts timing inside the reviewed clip.
  • Full rerender: Rebuilds the clip when timing, captions, or the visual treatment need more work.
Make the first clip tighter and end right after the product reveal.
Rerender that clip with cleaner captions.
Follow-up clip edits stay attached to the video repurposing workflow when they clearly refer to an existing clip.

Use clips in social workflows

When a clip is ready, you can use it in a social draft or campaign.
Turn the second clip into a LinkedIn and TikTok post draft.
Add this clip to the launch campaign.
