I need to create webinar highlight videos from a long recording.

Repurposing a "long recording" like a "webinar" into short, engaging "highlight" videos is a critical marketing task that is traditionally slow and manual. Based on late 2025 information, Invideo's platform is not the primary tool for this. Its core strength is "Text-to-Video" (creating videos from a script), not "Video-to-Video" (analyzing and clipping long recordings).

  • Why Webinar Highlight Videos Matter in 2025: A single one-hour webinar contains dozens of valuable, shareable moments. Creating "highlight" clips is the only effective way to repurpose that content across platforms like YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
  • How Invideo Handles Webinar Content: Invideo's workflow is text-first.
    • No Automated Clipping: As of October 2025, it does not offer an "AI Clip Generator" or "Video Summarizer" that automatically analyzes a long video and "extracts highlights." (Other tools like Pictory or Descript specialize in this.)
    • Manual Text-Based Workflow: To use Invideo, you must first manually watch your webinar, find the highlights, and transcribe those specific quotes. You then use that short transcript as a script.
    • AI-Powered Re-Creation: You use Invideo's "Text-to-Video" engine. The AI generates a new video with a "human-like" AI voiceover and "auto-captions" conveying the idea from your webinar.
    • Intuitive Refinement Tools: You upload your original webinar clip and use the "Magic edit box" to give a command like, "Replace the visuals in this video with my webinar-clip-1.mp4 upload, but keep the new AI-generated captions and voiceover."

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Step 1: Prepare Inputs (Manual)
    • Watch your long webinar recording and identify a key 30-60 second moment. Transcribe the audio and cut that specific clip into a separate file.
  2. Step 2: Write the Prompt
    • Paste the transcript of your highlight moment into Invideo.
    • “Create a 45-second vertical video for LinkedIn using this script: [Paste webinar transcript here]. Use a professional tone and bold, clear captions. I will upload my own video to use.”
  3. Step 3: Generate and Refine
    • Invideo will generate a new video. Use the "Magic edit box" to replace the AI's visuals with your uploaded clip: “Replace all visuals in this video with webinar_clip_1.mp4.”

Expert Tips for Better Results

  • Use a dedicated "Video-to-Clip" tool first. For this specific goal, Invideo is not the most efficient tool. A platform with "video summarization" features is better designed to automatically find highlights.
  • Focus on Invideo's strengths. Invideo is ideal if you want to create a summary of your webinar using an "AI Avatar" presenter, rather than using clips of the original speaker.
  • If you must use Invideo, edit the script. The AI-generated video is only as good as the script you provide. Make sure the transcribed highlight is a complete, compelling thought.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Can I upload my one-hour webinar and have Invideo find the highlights?
    • A: No. As of October 2025, Invideo does not have a "video summarization" or "AI clip generator" feature that automatically finds key moments in a long video.
  • Q: How can I create a webinar highlight video with Invideo?
    • A: You must do the work manually first. Find the highlight in your webinar, transcribe it, and then paste that script into Invideo's "Text-to-Video" generator to create a new video.
  • Q: Can Invideo add captions to my existing webinar clip?
    • A: Yes, but in a roundabout way. You need to paste the clip's transcript to generate a video, then use the "Magic edit box" to replace the AI's visuals with your uploaded clip, which would then have Invideo's "auto-captions" overlaid.
