Shorts from long videos: find the fragments instead of scrubbing

One long episode can feed your social channels for a week if you pull a dozen vertical clips out of it. The slowest part isn’t editing, it’s finding: where’s that joke, the strong line, the funny reaction. Rescanzo finds those spots with a query.

Search by speech00:00:00:00

A line as the backbone

Most short clips hang on a single line. In Pro mode type it the way you remember it, in Russian or English: “that’s why I quit my job”, “never do this”. Rescanzo finds where it was said in the recording, even with dozens of recordings in the folder.

Reactions and visual moments

For a clip without words, or a cutaway, search by description: “guest laughing with face covered”, “host raising eyebrows in surprise”, “winning score on screen”. That’s Low at 1 token or Mid at 2, running on your computer.

Straight into CapCut

If you cut vertical clips in CapCut, Rescanzo cuts the found moments into separate MP4 files, one per moment, and opens the folder. Drag the clips into CapCut and do the reframing and captions there. Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve get the selection as a ready timeline.

What it costs

Ten lines in Pro mode come to 20 tokens plus 1 for every started minute the cloud checks, and the app shows the exact price of each search before you run it. Searching for reactions in Mid costs 2 tokens a query. A new account starts with 50 tokens.

Questions and answers

How do I find a line if I only remember the gist?

Type the words you’re sure of and try different phrasings. Each attempt counts as a separate search, and the app shows the price before you run it.

Where do the cut clips go?

To the Video Search folder inside Movies on a Mac or Videos on Windows, in a subfolder named after the project, the collection and the date and time.

Can I stop the export halfway?

Yes, you can see the progress and cancel at any point.

Does Rescanzo make the vertical crop?

No, Rescanzo finds and cuts the moments; reframing for vertical happens in your editing app.
