AI Highlight Finder for Video
Scan a long recording for the moments worth keeping, clipping, or reusing. Cubix Find Highlights surfaces candidate beats so you start from the useful parts instead of scrubbing the whole take.
This is a finder, not a clip factory. Make Clips is what turns a moment into a standalone video.

What is an AI highlight finder?
An AI highlight finder scans longer video footage and points you to the moments most likely worth keeping, quoting, or clipping. It is a search pass, not an editor that publishes for you. Cubix Find Highlights surfaces those candidate moments so you can review them, then send the ones that hold up into Make Clips or keep editing the full video.
The slowest part of a long edit is finding what is worth cutting.
A podcast, interview, webinar, or long YouTube take usually contains a handful of moments that would survive on their own. Finding them by hand means watching once to remember what happened, again to mark it, and a third time because the line that actually matters was two minutes later. Find Highlights does that first watch: it marks the peaks so you are already looking at the useful parts.
A highlight
“Here is the moment worth reviewing.”
A timestamp, a line, a reaction. The source file is still whole.
A clip
“Here is a standalone video.”
A beginning, an ending, and enough context to work without the rest of the conversation. That is Make Clips.
What Cubix Find Highlights does
- 01
Scans long footage for notable moments
Looks through podcasts, interviews, and other long recordings for lines, answers, and beats that are worth a second look.
- 02
Surfaces candidate highlights first
You get a list of moments to review, not a pile of finished videos. Nothing is deleted from the source.
- 03
Helps you jump instead of scrub
Use the marked moments as a map of the take so you are not hunting through an hour of conversation by ear.
- 04
Leaves the source intact
Find Highlights is a finder. The full recording stays whole until you decide what to keep, clip, or ignore.
- 05
Hands off to Make Clips when you are ready
When a highlight can stand on its own, turn it into an editable clip with its own boundaries, captions, and framing.
- 06
Stays useful on footage you have already started
Run it on a raw take or on an assembly you have already begun. The job is still the same: show you where the strong parts are.
How to find highlights in a video with AI
- 1
Add a long video
Upload a podcast, interview, webinar, YouTube recording, or other long-form footage that has moments worth pulling out.
- 2
Ask Cubix to find the highlights
Let Cubix surface notable moments automatically, or describe the kind of beat you want — a strong answer, a story, a reaction.
- “Find the strongest answers in this interview.”
- “Mark the moments that could work as clips later.”
- “Show me the best lines from this podcast.”
- 3
Review the candidate moments
Jump to each highlight, keep the ones that hold up, and ignore the ones that do not. The source stays whole while you decide.
- 4
Turn the keepers into clips if you want
Send a reviewed highlight into Make Clips when it needs to stand alone. Or stay in the full edit and use the marks as a map.
Finding a moment is not the same as making a clip.
Make Clips
“Here are the standalone clips.”
- Creates separate clip ranges
- Chooses usable beginnings and endings
- Can reframe and caption each clip
Find Highlights
“Here are the moments worth reviewing.”
- Surfaces candidate timestamps
- Identifies notable sections
- Helps you navigate long footage
- Leaves the source intact
What videos are worth running through a highlight finder?
Podcasts
Mark the answers, stories, and exchanges that could become episode highlights later.
Interviews
Surface the lines and reactions you would actually quote, without watching the whole conversation twice.
YouTube videos
Find the sections in a long upload that deserve a Short, a recap, or a second look in the edit.
AI finds candidates. You decide which moments matter.
A highlight list is a starting map, not a locked cut. Keep, ignore, or clip from there.

AI highlight finder FAQs
An AI highlight finder scans longer footage and surfaces the moments most likely worth keeping, quoting, or clipping. It helps you navigate the take. It does not, by itself, publish finished short videos.
