AI clipping pipelineHosted editing coming soonDesktop + CLI available now

Raydo turns long videos into publish-ready shorts before your editor opens a timeline.

Paste a long-form video URL and Raydo behaves like an AI clipping team: it understands the transcript, finds the moments worth sharing, writes the hooks, tracks the speaker, reframes for vertical, and renders validated MP4 shorts you can review immediately. This case study uses Julian Treasure's TED talk as the source and shows five finished outputs from one link.

Find the shareable moments

Raydo reads the long video like an editor: transcript, timing, intent, and which moments can stand alone.

Write the short-video package

Each cut gets a hook, title, reason, caption focus, platform preset, and exact source range.

Render like a production tool

Speaker-aware framing, 9:16 crop, aligned audio, MP4 validation, and review-ready deliverables.
