You make a song a day. Picking the best 30 seconds of each one, after you've heard it a hundred times, is the part that stalls. Upload the song file straight from Suno or Udio (MP3 or WAV, or a video if you have one) and Nova scores every section by lyrics and audio energy, then hands back vertical clips with word-by-word lyric captions, ready to post.

## What you get

### It picks the part for you

Nova reads the lyrics and measures the song's energy, then ranks the sections most likely to hook a scroller, so you're not guessing which bit to cut.

### No video needed

Just the song file. Nova puts your cover art (if the file has it) over a blurred backdrop with bars that move to the music, then captions the lyrics word by word in 9:16.

### Keeps up with your releases

Releasing daily? Upload each song video as it's done and post a Short for every song without opening an editor.

## FAQ

### Does it work with songs made in Suno or Udio?

Yes. Upload the MP3 or WAV you downloaded, no video needed. If the file has cover art, Nova uses it as the picture; if not, a dark backdrop (with the song title, when the file carries one). Nova finds the strongest sections and captions the lyrics. Song videos work too.

### How does Nova choose which part of the song to use?

It transcribes the lyrics and measures audio energy across the track, then ranks sections by how strong a hook they make. You get several options to choose from, not one guess.

### Will it cut out the instrumental parts?

No. For a talking video Nova trims pauses between words, but on a song those pauses are the music, so song uploads keep every bar of the section it picks.

### What does it cost?

Your first clips are free with no card. Paid plans start from a few dollars a month, priced lower in many countries.
