Turn a long video into vertical Shorts, Reels and TikToks

How it works

1. Upload the long video on the home page, up to 4 GB.
2. Use the Shorts preset or write: Find the 3 strongest moments and turn each into a vertical clip under 60 seconds with bold captions.
3. Receive the clips, usually within the hour. Ask for changes in one line.

We tested a 4-minute raw recording and got a vertical clip plus a tightened cut back in 8 minutes. Longer videos take longer.

What a clip is

• 9:16 vertical, under 60 seconds
• Picked from the transcript: a moment that makes sense on its own, not a random cut
• Burned-in captions with word highlighting
• Audio leveled to streaming loudness (-14 LUFS)

What makes a good source video

Speech-led footage: podcasts, interviews, webinars, tutorials, talks. A moment needs complete thoughts to work as a clip, and our selection is based on what is said. If the strongest part of your video is visual, with no speech, tell us the timestamps and we will cut those.

Tell us what you want

Useful details: the platform, how many clips, the tone (educational, punchy), the target length, and any part you want included or avoided. If you would rather choose the moments yourself, give us the timestamps.

Versus a clipper app

Apps like Opus Pro, Klap and vidIQ are clipper tools. You upload, review the candidates and publish. They are cheaper per month than our plans; Opus Pro lists $15 and $29 a month on its own page. Our model is different: you describe the result and receive finished clips, with two rounds of changes. See the comparison.

Limits

• No motion graphics, animated titles or custom VFX
• No B-roll you did not upload
• No guarantee a clip will perform: we pick moments, we cannot predict views
• Vertical reframing of multi-person video is not a stated feature: check your first clip and use the changes rounds

Price

A long video with its clips is one of your monthly videos: $39 for 10 or $149 for 50. See pricing.

Worked example: a 40-minute podcast

You upload a 40-minute podcast video and write: Find the 3 strongest moments and turn each into a vertical clip under 60 seconds with bold captions. The service transcribes the episode, picks three moments that make sense on their own, such as a clear story, a strong opinion or a useful tip, and cuts each as a vertical 9:16 clip under 60 seconds with word-highlighted captions and leveled audio. If you disagree with a pick, say Use the part about pricing at 23 minutes instead, and the clip is recut in a change round.

Choosing good moments

• A complete thought with a clear start and end works better than a fragment.
• A surprising claim, a specific number, a story or a clear how-to tip usually holds attention.
• Avoid moments that depend on earlier context, unless you ask for a short setup line to be included.
• For a platform you know well, tell us the length that works there.

We cannot predict views. The service selects moments by what is said, and you remain the judge of what suits your audience.

What you receive

What to send for the best result

• The longest, cleanest version of the video you have, up to 4 GB. More material gives more choice of moments.
• The platform and audience, for example: YouTube Shorts for freelance designers.
• The number of clips and the length you want, under 60 seconds.
• Any part you want included, such as a guest's best story, or avoided, such as a sponsor read.
• Names and brand terms, spelled as you want them in captions.
