The Segments Panel
When you analyze a video, BrightClips AI breaks it down into meaningful segments. Each segment represents a distinct topic or concept from the video, complete with timestamps and a summary.

Segments vs Reading View
BrightClips offers two ways to view your segments: Segments View shows all segments in a list, while Reading View focuses on one segment at a time with detailed key points.

- 1Find a segment you want to watch
- 2Click anywhere on the segment card
- 3The video jumps to that timestamp and starts playing
- 4Video auto-pauses when the segment ends (optional)
Auto-Pause Feature
When you click a segment, the video will automatically pause when that segment ends. This helps you focus on one topic at a time without the video running ahead.
Why Auto-Pause Helps Learning
- •Focused learning: Process one concept before moving to the next
- •Take notes: Pause gives you time to write down key points
- •Better retention: Spaced breaks improve memory encoding
Mobile Navigation
BrightClips is fully responsive. On mobile devices, the segments panel appears below the video player, making it easy to navigate on smaller screens.
