Find Clips scans incoming video and creates clip outputs from your length, model, prompt, and keyword guidance.
The Find Clips node is for selecting moments from the source video. It does not apply visual edits such as subtitles, reframing, b-roll, watermarks, or outros. Add those editing nodes after Find Clips when you want to change how the clips look.

​
Schema

  • Input: Video or clip output from a trigger or earlier node
  • Output: Clips selected from the input video

​
Add the node

Open Workflows from the left sidebar and click New to open the workflow builder. Add a trigger first, such as Manual Trigger, New YouTube Video, RSS Feed, or another source node. In the Editing stage, choose Find Clips. Overlap adds the action node to the canvas and connects it to the previous video output. Click the Find Clips node on the canvas whenever you need to reopen its settings on the right side.

​
Configure clip length

Use Minimum and Maximum under Clip Length to set the target duration range for generated clips. The current defaults are:
  • Minimum: 30 s
  • Maximum: 120 s
Clips can be between 10 and 600 seconds, and the minimum must stay below the maximum.

​
Choose the model

Use Model to choose how Overlap should evaluate the source video. The current options are:
  • Conversational: for spoken conversations, podcasts, interviews, and similar talk-driven videos
  • Multimodal: for sports or other videos where non-verbal context is important

​
Guide clip selection

Use Prompt to describe what makes a good clip for this workflow. You can type directly into the editor or click Select prompt to choose a saved prompt. Good prompts usually name the audience, topic, or type of moment you want. For example:
  • Find clips where the guest shares practical advice for founders.
  • Surface energetic moments with clear reactions or surprising claims.
  • Focus on segments about AI trends and avoid housekeeping or intro chatter.
Use Keywords when certain terms, names, products, or topics should influence what the node looks for. The node starts with no custom keywords.

​
Build the rest of the workflow

After Find Clips, continue with editing nodes such as Add Subtitles, Convert to Vertical, Watermarks, Outros, etc., or Audiogram. Finish with an export node so the workflow has a destination for the clips it creates.
