## Welcome to Reap
Reap helps you turn long-form videos into short, social-ready clips with AI. You can upload a file or paste a supported video link, generate clips automatically, refine them in the editor, and export ready-to-share content in just a few steps.
This page includes a product walkthrough video, followed by the same workflow as written steps below.
## What You'll Do
Sign up at [reap.video](https://reap.video/) with your email, or continue with Google.
Upload a local video file or paste a supported video URL from platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, or X.
Let Reap analyze your content and find the most engaging moments automatically.
Open your clips in the editor to trim segments, update captions, add highlights, and adjust orientation.
Export your finished clips, save drafts, or schedule content for publishing.
## Step 1: Sign Up And Log In
* Create your account on [reap.video](https://reap.video/).
* Sign in with email and password, or use Google for passwordless login.
* After login, you'll land on your dashboard.
## Step 2: Upload A Video Or Paste A Link
* Click **Generate Clips** from the dashboard.
* Upload your video file, or paste a supported source link.
* Reap supports common long-form sources including YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, X, and local MP4 uploads.
Use dialogue-rich videos for the best AI clipping results, especially podcasts, interviews, commentary, tutorials, and talking-head content.
## Step 3: Generate Clips
Once your source video is added, Reap analyzes the content and identifies strong moments for short-form clips.
* Use AI clipping to generate clips automatically.
* Steer the AI with a clip prompt — describe in plain language what kinds of clips you want (count, duration, focus, tone). See [How to Create Viral Clips](/help-center/how-to-create-viral-clips#11-add-a-clip-prompt-optional).
* Review the generated results before exporting.
* Fine-tune individual clips in the editor after generation if needed.

## Step 5: Review Virality Score
Each generated clip includes a virality score to help you evaluate its social media potential.
* Use the score to compare clips quickly.
* Prioritize the strongest options for export and publishing.
* Combine the score with your own editorial judgment before sharing.
## Step 6: Export, Save Drafts, And Share
