# Clips

> Turn a long video into a set of short clips from the Clips project type.

**Clips** takes a long video and returns a group of shorter clips. The project type is marked New on the Home menu.

**1. Choose Clips**

On Home, open the project type menu and select **Clips**. The description is "Turn long-form videos into viral clips."

![Project type menu with Clips in the list](https://mintcdn.com/captions/YNtloFB9-FRoI6fN/help/web/images/project-types.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=YNtloFB9-FRoI6fN\&q=85\&s=c4d3acd445135f0c89e32588fc787a39)

**2. Add the long video**

Import the file, or paste a link if the composer offers one. A prompt is optional. Use it to say which moments matter, such as product demos, jokes, or quotes.

**3. Review the plan**

Before generation, check the plan Captions proposes. Confirm the aspect ratio and whether intro titles should be included, then start generation.

**4. Open the clip group**

Finished jobs appear in the sidebar as a group, with a clip count such as "20 clips." Open the group to review them. See [Reviewing your clips](https://captions.ai/help/web/start-with-your-footage/reviewing-clips.md).

Each clip can be opened in the editor, recaptioned, and exported on its own.
