Key Reasons to Auto Clip Long Videos into Shorts

The digital landscape has shifted. If you aren't adapting your long-form content for the "scroll" generation, you're being left behind.

The Algorithm Hates Length

TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts favor high retention. A 30-minute video gets 0 views if people scroll away in 3 seconds. You need to hook them instantly.

The "Scroll" Mentality

Mobile users don't want to rotate their phones. If your video isn't vertical (9:16) and fast-paced, you are invisible to 80% of mobile traffic.

Our AI Short Video Generator Process

We bridge the gap between traditional long-form video and modern viral formats.

Detects Hooks

Our model finds the "Goldilocks" momentsβ€”not too long, not too short, just interesting enough to stop the scroll.

Crops & Formats

It intelligently crops landscape video to vertical, tracking the active speaker so they are always in focus.

Adds Viral Captions

Burned-in captions are essential for sound-off viewing. We add them automatically with trending styles.
