Repurpose client video faster, without hiring more editors
If you're turning long-form client recordings into short-form deliverables every week, the bottleneck usually isn't ideas — it's hours. YTShorts.ai handles the first pass on every video so your time goes into judgment calls, not scrubbing timelines.
The volume problem
One client's monthly podcast is manageable by hand. Five clients, each expecting a batch of shorts from every long-form recording they send you, is a different job entirely — and the actual creative decisions (which moments matter, how a clip should be captioned or paced) get squeezed out by the mechanical work of finding and cutting candidates in the first place.
Run each incoming video through Extract Shorts first. You get a ranked set of candidate clips, already reframed and captioned, and you spend your time picking and polishing rather than starting from a blank timeline on every single job.

Built for higher volume
The Max plan is priced around exactly this use case: 1600 credits and 10 GB of storage a month, priority processing so jobs don't sit in a queue behind other users, and no per-job clip cap on Extract Shorts. It won't replace your judgment on what a client's brand should sound or look like, but it removes the repetitive first-pass work from every video that lands in your inbox.
Accounts are single-login today — there isn't a shared team workspace yet. If you're running client work solo or splitting access informally, that's fine; if you need multiple teammates logging into one workspace, that's not currently supported.
Common questions
What do I actually get back from one long video?
A set of vertical 9:16 clips, ranked best-first, each already cut, reframed and captioned word-by-word. You pick which ones are worth posting — there is no editing step in between.
How long does a job take?
Longer than a page load and shorter than an editor. Transcription, ranking and rendering are real work on real hardware, so a job runs for minutes rather than seconds. The app shows you which stage it is on the whole time instead of a spinner.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in the browser at app.ytshorts.ai. There is also a command-line version of the same pipeline for developers who would rather run it on their own machine with their own API keys.
Is the free plan actually usable?
Yes — it is the full product, not a locked demo. All four tools are available on Free. What you trade is a watermark on exports, 50 credits a month, source videos capped at 30 minutes, and up to 2 clips per Extract job.
What is a credit?
One job costs credits based on how long its source video is — counted per 5 minutes, rounded up — and which tool you ran. Higher plans get more credits each month and pay fewer credits for the exact same video.
How long do you keep my clips?
Rendered clips stay in your library for 7 days on Free and 30 days on Pro and Max, then are deleted automatically. You can delete anything yourself at any time, and your uploaded voice clones are never swept.
Does it work if my video isn't in English?
Yes. Transcription auto-detects the language, and you can force a specific one if you would rather. Captions can also be translated into another language before they are burned in.
What if my podcast is audio-only?
Add Voiceover and Add Captions both work from audio alone, so an audio-first show can still produce captioned, watchable shorts without a camera setup.
