Make YouTube Shorts from Long Video

YouTube Shorts is the fastest way to put your long-form channel in front of new viewers, and the platform is actively surfacing Shorts to grow watch time. clip.video closes the production gap: paste a link or upload, and get vertical captioned Shorts of your video's best moments, each with a title and a score. Because Shorts viewers often discover a creator through a clip and then click to the full video, clean sentence boundaries and a strong hook matter — both of which come from transcribing the whole video first rather than blindly cutting. The subject stays in frame when reframed to vertical, so Shorts look native rather than cropped. There is no credit meter, so you can turn every long upload into several Shorts and post daily without rationing. It is the most direct way to make your existing YouTube library work harder. Free clips carry a small watermark that a paid plan removes.
