shortshort

shortshort is an AI tool that turns long videos into short clips, and its standout feature is that it handles everything from clipping all the way to publishing. Upload a long video (MP4, MOV, or WebM, up to 2GB), or paste a YouTube link in the studio, and it will listen through the entire video and pick out the segments worth watching.

When it creates clips, it ensures each clip ends at a complete sentence, so nothing gets cut off mid-sentence. The footage is reframed into a 9:16 vertical format and follows the speaker’s face. Every word gets time-aligned captions. Finally, it writes a title for you and automatically posts to YouTube on the date you choose; TikTok is currently in early access.

You can try it for free—we’ll give you 30 credits, with 1 credit consumed per minute of video. It’s ideal for podcasters, lecturers, and interview creators who want to turn a one- or two-hour episode into a week’s worth of short video updates.

Before shooting a vertical short drama, check TVLab to see how hit shows in the same genre open and which episode the twist lands in, then pick an inspiration card with the storyboards already broken down and generate it shot by shot.
