How to Cut Specific Fragments from Long Videos for TikTok
Step 1: Upload Your Long Horizontal Video
Start by uploading your long horizontal video to Vyexa’s web app at vyexa.net or use the Telegram bot for mobile convenience. The platform supports various video formats and sizes, making it easy to get started without additional software. After uploading, Vyexa automatically prepares your video for editing and conversion into vertical clips.
Step 2: Choose Manual Mode for Precise Fragment Selection
Vyexa offers an AI auto-detection feature for viral moments, but to cut specific fragments, switch to Manual mode. This mode lets you split the source video into a user-specified number of parts or cut a particular segment by entering exact timecodes. This control ensures you select the exact clip you want to share on TikTok.
Step 3: Set Timecodes to Define Your Clip
In Manual mode, enter the start and end timecodes for the fragment you want to extract. For example, if you want a 15-second clip starting at 2:30, input 02:30 as the start and 02:45 as the end. Vyexa will then trim the video accordingly, creating a focused clip that highlights your chosen moment.
Step 4: Customize Your Vertical Clip with Clip Constructor
Once your fragment is selected, use Vyexa’s Clip Constructor to customize the vertical 9:16 clip. Adjust font styles, layout/frame size (Auto, Full, 70%, 50%, 40%, Split, Stream), title and subtitle styles, and highlight colors. You can also enable or disable the auto-generated title overlay and position subtitles as needed. This customization helps your clip stand out on TikTok and other short-form platforms.
