Understanding clip scores & why a moment was chosen
Last updated July 24, 2026
When ApexStream's AI Clips analyzes a recording, it scores each highlight moment so you can quickly see which clips are most likely to perform well as short-form content.
What the virality score means
Each clip gets a score from 0 to 100. The score is based on signals like:
- audio energy or excitement spikes
- facial expressions and movement
- speech patterns, such as punchlines or key phrases
- engagement-friendly length and pacing
A higher score means the AI thinks the moment is more likely to grab attention on short-form platforms.
Why this moment was chosen
Next to each clip, you may see a short explanation like "high energy response" or "key takeaway." This tells you what the AI noticed in that segment.
How to use the score
- Start with the highest-scoring clips when you want quick wins.
- Lower-scoring clips may still be useful for specific audiences or follow-up content.
- Always preview a clip before posting β the score is a guide, not a guarantee.
Good to know: Clips with a score of 80 or above are highlighted as strong candidates. Scores between 50 and 79 are decent, and below 50 may need editing or can be skipped.
