Turn your lectures into clips students actually watch
One 60-minute lesson holds a dozen teachable moments. FastClip's AI finds them and cuts them into short vertical clips with animated captions, so your teaching reaches students where they already scroll.
Why creators use FastClip for educators
One concept per clip
A full lecture is too much for a feed. FastClip splits it into self-contained clips, each landing a single idea a student can grasp in under a minute and rewatch before an exam.
Captions that aid comprehension
Every clip ships with animated, word-by-word subtitles burned in. Students watch on mute in libraries and on commutes, and non-native speakers can follow the terminology by reading along.
Meet students on their feed
Your class lives on a learning platform; your students live on TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Vertical 9:16 clips put your explanations in the scroll where attention already is.
How it works
Paste a link, get clips. About a minute from long video to a batch of vertical Shorts.
Paste your lecture or lesson
Drop in the YouTube link to any recorded class, webinar, seminar or tutorial. Length is no problem, FastClip handles long-form.
AI finds the teaching moments
It transcribes the whole lesson, then picks the clearest explanations, key definitions and aha-moments, and cuts each into a vertical clip with animated captions.
Refine and post
Tweak any caption or trim a clip in the browser editor, then download up to 10 ready-to-post Shorts for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Frequently asked questions
Can I clip a recorded class with slides or screen-sharing?
Yes. If the lesson is a YouTube video, FastClip can clip it, whether it's a talking-head lecture, a slide deck walkthrough or a screen-recorded tutorial. The AI works from the spoken audio to find the strongest teaching moments, then cuts each into a vertical 9:16 clip and reframes the picture to fit the format.
My lectures are an hour or more. Will it still work?
That's exactly the case it's built for. FastClip handles long-form video and turns one long lecture into up to 10 short clips in about a minute, so a single class can fill a week of social posts without you re-recording anything.
Are the captions accurate for technical terms and jargon?
Captions are generated from the audio of your lesson, so they follow the words you actually said, including subject-specific terminology. You can open the browser editor and fix any term, name or formula before you post, and the animated word-by-word style makes definitions easier for students to read and remember.
Do I need editing skills or special software to use this for my courses?
No. You paste a link and the AI does the cutting, reframing and captioning. Everything else happens in the browser, no timeline software or design app to learn. You can start free without a card; the Pro plan is $100/month when you need more volume.
