Get More Out of Every Long-Form Video You Already Made
You already put in the work to make the long video. Turning it into Shorts for the same channel -- or cross-posting to TikTok and Reels -- shouldn't mean re-editing it from scratch.
Paste a link, get clips back
Instead of re-uploading footage you've already published, paste the YouTube link directly. Extract Shorts pulls the video, transcribes it, and returns a ranked set of candidate Shorts -- reframed to 9:16 and captioned -- so you can decide what's worth cross-posting without scrubbing back through your own upload looking for the good part.
Two ways to repurpose a video
If your video has several distinct standalone moments -- a long tutorial, a multi-topic vlog, an interview -- Extract Shorts gives you several separate clips to choose from. If it's more of a single narrative arc and you want one Short that samples the strongest moments across the whole timeline instead, Smart Short is built for that instead.
How it works
Paste your YouTube link
No need to find and re-upload the original file -- a public or unlisted link works.
Choose Extract Shorts or Smart Short
Multiple standalone clips, or one highlight reel covering the full video -- pick based on how the source video is structured.
Download and cross-post
Clips come out captioned and vertical, ready for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok without a separate editing pass.
Your back catalog is full of unused Shorts
Try it on a video you've already published -- the Free plan covers a couple of runs before you need to upgrade.
