Editing a long video takes a lot of time, as most content creators know. Making one good highlight is not easy, and turning it into a short clip that can go viral is even harder. It requires repeatedly watching, finding the right moment, and cutting and adjusting for platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts. The process usually feels more complicated than expected. WayinVideo makes a difference by helping beginners save time through automatically detecting the most viral-ready moments. Now, let’s go step by step and see how it works.
How to create a Clip: Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Upload a local video or Paste Your Video Link
You can get started in two ways:
- Paste a Video link – If the video is on YouTube or from other platforms, just paste the link directly into the search box. This is usually the fastest way since you don’t need to download the file first.
- Upload a file – if the video is stored in your local device, you can also upload a local file in formats like MP4, MOV, or WEBM. This works well if you are editing your own recordings.

Step 2: Detect Viral Highlights
Once the video is uploaded, use the One Click to Grasp Moments Instantly button. The tool will scan your video and suggest highlights that may interest viewers. Examples include emotional reactions, dramatic changes, or funny moments. For a gaming video, it might detect a winning play or a surprise twist. For a tutorial, it could highlight the final result or a key step. You can choose to keep the suggested clips or adjust them to fit your needs.

Step 3: Customize Your Clip
After selecting highlights, you can make small edits to improve the clip. Add subtitles in different styles to make the clip easier to follow. This is useful since many viewers watch without sound. Crop the video to a vertical 9:16 format, which is best for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Trim the clip to under 60 seconds so it stays engaging and easy to watch.
