YouTube clip tool for creators who upload long videos every week
You already did the hard part when you filmed, edited and published the long video. ShortsCreator reads its transcript, ranks the moments worth posting, cuts them vertical with you in frame, adds captions and a title, and puts a week of Shorts on your calendar. Paste a link and see your own moments in about a minute.
Your best moments are buried inside a 20 minute video
Most long videos hold five to ten moments that work on their own: a sharp opinion, a reveal, a quick tip, a funny exchange. Finding them means scrubbing the timeline, cutting, reframing to 9:16, typing captions and writing a title for each one. That is an evening of work per upload, so the Shorts shelf stays empty or gets the same two clips.
A YouTube clip tool should remove that evening. ShortsCreator does the scrubbing, cutting, framing and captioning, and leaves you the part that needs your judgment: picking which clips go out and when.
- No scrubbing through the timeline to find a clip
- No manual keyframes to keep your face in frame
- No typing captions word by word
One long video becomes a week of Shorts
Paste the link of a video you already published, or connect your channel. The AI reads the transcript with word-level timestamps and returns a ranked list of self-contained moments between 15 and 90 seconds. Each moment shows the exact quote, a virality score from 0 to 100 and the reason behind it, such as a strong hook in the first line or a clear payoff at the end.
Open a moment and it is already cut: vertical 9:16 (or 1:1 and 4:5), framed on the speaker with face tracking, captions animated in your template, a hook line on the first frame and a suggested title, description and hashtags for each platform.
- Ranked moments with quote, score and reason
- Vertical cut with the speaker kept in frame
- Animated captions in your fonts and colours
- Title, hook text, description and hashtags per platform
An AI YouTube video editor you edit by text
Not every clip is perfect on the first pass. In the editor you trim a clip by editing its transcript: delete a sentence and the cut moves with it, extend the selection and the clip grows. You can swap the layout, change the caption template, rewrite the hook text and adjust the title without opening a timeline.
When the clip is right, export a 1080x1920 MP4 at up to 60 fps, download the SRT captions, or send the clip straight to the calendar. ShortsCreator only cuts and edits the footage you already filmed. It does not generate synthetic video, so every Short is really you.
- Trim in and out by editing the transcript text
- Change layout, caption template and hook in one place
- Export 1080x1920 MP4 up to 60 fps and SRT files
Connect your channel once and every new upload is clipped for you
On Studio and higher plans, channel autopilot watches your connected YouTube channel. When a new long video goes live, ShortsCreator clips it automatically and the moments land in your review queue with scores, titles and captions already in your brand kit. You open the queue, approve the clips you like and drop them on the calendar.
Nothing is posted without you. Autopilot prepares the clips, and you decide what goes out. If you work with an editor, give them a seat and let them prepare the queue while you approve from your phone.
- New uploads clipped into a review queue
- Your brand kit applied to every clip
- Nothing published until you approve it
Spread the clips across the week and across platforms
A Short a day keeps the channel active between long uploads. Drag approved clips onto the calendar and ShortsCreator publishes them to YouTube Shorts on the dates you pick. On Studio and higher you also schedule the same clip to TikTok and Instagram Reels, with the title and hashtags adjusted for each platform.
If you post the long video on Monday, a typical week looks like this: the strongest moment on Tuesday, a tip on Wednesday, a reaction on Thursday, a short story on Friday and a recap on the weekend. You choose the order, the calendar keeps it.
