AI Condensed Cut + Multi-Segment Highlight Merger

Instead of exporting ten disconnected micro-clips, BibiGPT's AI Condensed Cut lets you set a target duration (~30s, ~1 min, ~1.5 min, or ~3 min), pick an editing style (Key takeaways, Story & emotion, or Punchy fast cut), choose your destination feed (TikTok / Reels, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, or YouTube Shorts), and stitch chronological highlights into one short video.
