Case Study voodoo.tube

One long video into a week of viral shorts.

Voodoo.tube watches a long-form video, finds the moments worth clipping, and ships captioned shorts scored for virality. We built the platform end to end, and it still runs at voodoo.tube today. It was later acquired.

The best 30 seconds are buried in an hour of footage.

Creators and podcasters sit on hours of long-form video while their audience lives on shorts. Bridging the two is brutal, manual work: watch the whole thing, find the moments that pop, cut them to vertical, caption them, and hope you guessed right.

Voodoo.tube set out to make that judgement call on its own, reading a video well enough to surface the clips worth posting rather than chopping it into arbitrary pieces.

Paste a link, get back posts.

Drop in a video URL and the platform handles the rest. It transcribes the audio, analyzes the content, and pulls the high-potential moments into finished vertical clips, each one captioned and rated.

The end-to-end flow we built

  • Ingest from a URL or upload, with no manual editing setup
  • Transcription and moment-detection to find what's clip-worthy
  • Auto-cut vertical clips with styled, timed captions
  • A virality score per clip, plus one-tap export to the major platforms
See it work

Demo: upload to analysis to finished, scored clips

The outcome

At its peak, the platform was turning thousands of long-form videos into short-form every month, each one clipped, captioned and scored without a human in the loop. Then it sold.

Still running, after thousands of videos a month.

Voodoo.tube grew into a platform processing thousands of videos every month, with generation time running at roughly half a clip's source length, so a one-hour video turned around in about thirty minutes.

It worked well enough to be acquired, and the product is still live at voodoo.tube today. This is the outcome we build for: software that earns its place, then outlives the engagement.
