ShortsCutter
Closed beta — founding members

Your long videos already contain your best Shorts.
We cut them out for you.

Small creators don't have time to re-edit every long video into Shorts — so the highlights that would pull in new viewers never get posted, and the long video does all the work alone.

STEP 1

Send a long-video link

A talk, podcast episode, stream or tutorial — YouTube link or your own file.

STEP 2

We find the moments

Your video is transcribed and every candidate moment is scored on hooks, emotion and pacing. No black box: each clip comes with the reasons it was picked.

STEP 3

Post-ready 9:16 clips

Vertical clips with big burned-in captions, ready to upload to Shorts, TikTok or Reels.

Real output, unedited

These clips were produced end-to-end by ShortsCutter from one real long video — “Dance Your Weight Away: 10-Minute Afro Dance Workout!” by Lady Emma on YouTube (13:22), shared under a Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed). Nothing was hand-picked or re-edited afterwards.

“Alright, let’s go!”

0:18 long · cut from 0:04–0:22 of the workout · highlight score 43/100

Why it was picked: the coach’s intro — she speaks straight to the viewer at a lively pace and lands on a complete sentence right as the routine starts.

“And the side now, push”

0:28 long · cut from 0:33–1:02 of the workout · highlight score 18/100

Why it was picked: the first full dance sequence — it starts on a coaching cue and ends on a complete phrase, so the routine excerpt stands on its own.

Honest note: YouTube served the demo source at 360p, so these clips look softer than output from your own full-quality uploads. ShortsCutter picks moments by transcribing speech, so on a music-driven workout like this one the picks anchor on the coached, spoken stretches — timings and picks are exactly what the tool produced.
