What is Ssemble?
Ssemble is an AI video clipping platform that converts long recordings into short vertical clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. A user pastes a video link from Twitch, Kick, Vimeo or YouTube, or uploads an MP4, MOV or WEBM file, and the system picks out promising moments, keeps faces centred in the vertical frame, adds captions and writes hook titles and calls to action. Captions can be translated while the original audio stays, and a sports mode follows the ball or the action instead of faces. Clips can be scheduled on a calendar and published to several platforms, with titles, descriptions and hashtags drafted automatically. Channel Automation watches a chosen YouTube channel, then clips and posts each new upload. Usage is metered in video credits, with one credit covering up to twenty minutes of source footage. API and MCP access are listed in the site menu.
