How accurate is AI transcription for video clips?

Modern AI transcription (Whisper-based models) achieves 95–98% accuracy for clear English audio. Accuracy drops with heavy accents, background noise, or highly technical vocabulary. Always spot-check captions for proper nouns.

Can AI repurpose videos in languages other than English?

Most AI tools support major languages. Transcription quality varies — English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin tend to have the best accuracy. Check your tool's language support before relying on it for non-English content.

How many clips can AI generate from a one-hour video?

Typically 8–15 clips from a one-hour conversational video (podcast, interview). Highly structured content like tutorials may yield fewer but more focused clips. The number depends on content density and your quality threshold.

Does AI repurposing work for all video types?

It works best for talking-head and conversational content where the transcript drives the value. It's less effective for purely visual content (cooking demos, travel vlogs, music videos) where the interesting moments aren't in the dialogue.

What's the cost of AI video repurposing tools?

Pricing varies widely: free tiers typically process 1–3 videos/month, paid plans range from $20–$100/month for individual creators, and agency plans run $200+/month. The ROI is clear when you consider that manual clipping costs $15–25 per clip from a freelance editor.

Can I customize the AI's clip selection criteria?

Better tools let you influence selection by adjusting parameters like minimum/maximum clip length, preference for certain speakers, topic filtering, and engagement score thresholds.
