Private beta — spring 2026

One video.
A week of viral content.

Paste a YouTube URL. Our VIRALSCORE™ engine finds the moments worth posting, crops them server-side, auto-generates thumbnails, and ships them to every platform — before your editor opens Premiere.

The repurposing tax

Clipping is a full-time job.
You already have one.

Every long-form video you publish is sitting on 10–20 pieces of short-form content. Most of it never gets cut. The ones that do cost you half a day, a freelancer, or both.

10hrs
Average manual workflow per long-form video
01

Scrubbing a 90-minute video for "good moments"

You watch it twice, jot timestamps, second-guess yourself. Then you realize the best bit was 40 minutes in.

02

Cutting, reframing, captioning, thumbnailing

Premiere, CapCut, Canva, Photoshop. Three apps, fourteen tabs, one blown afternoon.

03

Posting to nine platforms with nine aspect ratios

TikTok wants 9:16, LinkedIn wants 1:1, YouTube Shorts wants something weird. Your caption doesn't fit on X.

04

Guessing which clip will actually hit

90% of clips flop. Without signal, you're just gambling with your best content.

The solution · three systems, one flow

From raw upload to ranked, published, measured.

ViralCut is the first tool that scores clips before you see them, forges custom thumbnails at the frame level, and publishes natively to every short-form surface.

01 / CLIPPING

VIRALSCORE Engine

Our proprietary ranking algorithm combines hook strength, emotional peaks, retention curves, and platform-fit scoring into a single 0–100 score — so you approve the winners, not hunt for them.

02 / THUMBNAILS

Thumbnail Forge

Face-detection, emotion tagging, and expression ranking pick the single best frame in each clip. Then we layer your brand kit — fonts, colors, stickers — and ship A/B variants automatically.

How it works

Four steps.
About six minutes.

Auto, Storytelling Hooks, Educational Bites, Funny Moments, or High-Debate. Or write a custom prompt. VIRALSCORE adapts the ranking model accordingly.

~10s
03

Review ranked clips

Every clip arrives with a 0–100 viral score, an editable caption, a generated thumbnail, and a transcript excerpt. Approve, reject, or tweak.

One click publishes native to all connected platforms — correct aspect ratio, platform-fit caption, scheduled at your best-time window.

Under the hood

VIRALSCORE: why our clips
hit different.

Other tools throw clips at you and hope. We score them. Five weighted signals combine into a single 0–100 confidence score — and every score is explainable, so you know why a clip is ranked high before you approve it.

Five signals.
One score.
Proprietary.

VIRALSCORE is a weighted scoring model trained on short-form engagement patterns across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. It operates as a ranking layer on top of frontier multimodal LLMs — combining transcript analysis, audio energy, visual motion, and platform-specific retention benchmarks.

  • Hook strengthFirst-3-second grab-rate prediction based on opening transcript + visual change
  • Emotional peakSentiment delta, laughter detection, energy transitions across the clip window
  • Retention curvePredicted watch-through shape benchmarked against your niche's top 1%
  • Platform fitRuntime, aspect, caption-length, hashtag viability scored per destination

Everything else

The whole clipping workflow,
in one window.

Server-side cropping

Zero uploads. We crop directly from YouTube's stream, so a 2-hour podcast becomes clips in minutes, not hours.

Animated captions

Word-level sync with speaker detection, emphasis highlighting, and caption templates that match the platform.

Smart scheduling

Best-time windows per platform, learned from your audience's historical engagement curve — not TikTok's generic "6pm".

Aspect reframing

9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 — face-tracking keeps the speaker centered across every aspect ratio automatically.

Caption rewriting

Per-platform caption generation — TikTok hooks, LinkedIn pro-tone, X punchiness — with hashtag strategy built in.

Brand kit

Upload fonts, colors, logos, stickers once. Every thumbnail and caption inherits your look automatically.

Cross-platform analytics

One dashboard. Views, retention, engagement, follower-add rate — correlated back to VIRALSCORE so the engine learns.

Team workspaces

Invite editors, approvers, clients. Role-based permissions, approval flows, and per-brand libraries.

Public API

Agencies and platforms: embed VIRALSCORE into your own workflow. REST + webhooks.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

Do I need to upload my video?

No. Paste a public YouTube URL and we fetch and crop server-side. No multi-gig uploads, no waiting on Premiere exports.

What makes VIRALSCORE different from "viral score" features in other tools?

Three things: it's multi-signal (five weighted inputs, not one), it's explainable (every score shows its reasoning), and it learns from your approve/reject history per brand.

Which platforms can I publish to?

TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, X, Facebook Reels, Threads, Pinterest, and Discord. More on the roadmap.

Can I use my own video, not YouTube?

Direct upload is supported for Studio and Agency plans. Google Drive, Dropbox, and S3 URL ingestion are on the roadmap.

What about copyright and fair use?

ViralCut only processes content you own or have rights to distribute. We verify channel ownership on first connect. Reposting other people's content is against TOS.

How long until I get access?

Private beta is rolling out now. Join the waitlist and you'll typically get access within 7–14 days. Agency plans are priority-reviewed.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes — 30 days, no questions. If VIRALSCORE doesn't meaningfully cut your clipping time, we refund.

Is there an API?

Yes, in beta. Available on the Agency plan. Webhooks for clip-ready, publish-complete, and analytics events.
