FAQs
What video formats do you support?
We support MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV. You can also paste direct links from YouTube.
How long does the AI analysis take?
Most videos finish processing in under 5 minutes. Longer videos can take up to 15 minutes to process completely.
Can I customize the caption styles?
Yes. CrabCut lets you customize fonts, colors, positions, and animation styles for all your captions.
Is there a limit on video length?
Free users can upload videos up to 1 hour long. Starter supports up to 3 hours, and Pro supports up to 4 hours.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every user gets 60 free credits on sign-up. That's 60 minutes of video processing, forever, with no card required. Free exports are 720p with a small CrabCut watermark. Starter and Pro exports are 1080p with no watermark.
How are credits calculated?
Credits are based on video duration: 1 credit = 1 minute of video. Videos under 1 minute use 1 credit (minimum). For longer videos, partial minutes round down. For example, a 4.5 minute video uses 4 credits.
Do you need any editing skills?
No. Our AI highlight detection and automated features mean you can upload long videos and get shorts ready for posting without manual editing effort.
How is CrabCut different from other AI shorts makers?
CrabCut focuses on three things: AI highlight detection, auto captions in 16+ languages, and face-tracked reframing. Built for solo creators who want great Shorts without a steep learning curve. Simple, fast, and affordable.
