A single performance or studio session holds a dozen hooks for socials. Nova finds the most striking moments, reframes them to vertical, and captions any talking or lyrics, so you feed TikTok and Reels with teasers without sitting in an editor for hours.

## What you get

### Find the hook moments

Nova ranks the recording using audio energy and motion, surfacing the drops, choruses, and standout sections that make people stop scrolling.

### Vertical for short-form

Auto 9:16 reframe keeps the performer in frame for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — the formats music discovery runs on now.

### Caption the talking bits

For interviews, behind-the-scenes, and lyric moments, word-by-word captions land the message on a muted feed.

## FAQ

### Can Nova clip a live performance or music video?

Yes — upload the footage or paste a link and Nova ranks the most eventful sections (using audio and motion cues), reframes them vertical, and captions any speech ready for socials.

### Does it work for instrumental music with no talking?

Yes — Nova uses audio energy and motion to find moments even without speech, so drops and high-energy sections still surface as clips. Captions apply when there's talking or lyrics to show.
