A long video to short video converter has one genuinely hard part, and it was never the cutting — it's the watching. A two-hour stream holds a handful of moments worth posting, and finding them means sitting through footage you already lived once, dragging a playhead and guessing.
That's the job this tool takes. Upload a recording up to 3 hours — or paste a YouTube link — and the AI scores every moment by engagement potential, keeps the strongest, and returns each one cut and titled with hashtags. From there, reframing any clip to vertical 9:16 with the subject tracked is one click. A 60-minute source typically finishes in about 3 minutes; a 3-hour one takes up to 12.
It's built around long sources specifically: 1 credit per minute of source video, 500 credits a month on the standard plan, and clips stored for 30 days so a big recording doesn't have to be dealt with in one sitting.
HOW THE LONG VIDEO TO SHORTS CONVERTER WORKS
Streams, webinars, interviews, full episodes — files up to 2 GB and 3 hours, or a YouTube link of the same length.
Every moment is scored by engagement potential and the top scorers become clips — each with a virality score and the reason it was picked.
Clips arrive cut, scored and titled. Reframe the keepers to vertical 9:16 with the subject tracked, then grab them individually or as a ZIP.
MADE FOR LONG RECORDINGS
Long recordings are the point, not an edge case. Credits are metered per source minute, so you always know what a file costs before you run it.
You get the strongest moments with a score and a reason attached — not fifty candidate cuts to sift through yourself.
When you reframe a clip, widescreen footage is cropped to 9:16 with the subject tracked — so the speaker stays in frame instead of wandering out of a static crop.
Point the AI at what you need — “find every moment about pricing”, “pull the arguments” — and it cuts to that brief instead of guessing.
Clips stay in your account for 30 days, so a long recording doesn't have to be handled in one session.
Take the whole set as a ZIP when you're ready to schedule a week of posts in one go.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
How do I turn a long video into shorts?
Upload the recording (or paste its YouTube link) and let the AI score and select the strongest moments. Each clip arrives cut and titled with hashtags; reframe the ones you want to vertical 9:16 with the subject tracked, then download. Videos up to 3 hours are supported.
How long can the source video be?
Up to 3 hours, and 2 GB for uploaded files. YouTube links are subject to the same 3-hour limit. A 60-minute source typically processes in about 3 minutes; 3 hours takes up to 12.
How many shorts will I get from a long video?
Each run returns the top-scoring moments — typically the 3+ strongest. As a rule of thumb, an hour of good conversation holds five to eight genuinely clippable moments; custom prompt mode lets you aim the AI at specific topics when you want particular ones.
Is this different from doing it in CapCut?
Yes, in what gets automated. Manual editors give you the cutting tools but you still have to watch the footage, find the moments, and keyframe the crop to follow whoever's speaking. Here the selection and reframing are done for you, and you review scored clips instead of raw footage.
What does it cost to convert a long video?
1 credit per minute of source video. The clipping plan is $19.99/mo for 500 credits — roughly eight hour-long recordings a month, or 25% less on annual billing — and extra credit packs are $4.99 per 100 minutes and never expire. New users get one free trial clip from a YouTube link under 2 hours, no card.
Can I convert a long video for free?
New users get one free clip from any YouTube link under 2 hours. If you already have a short segment and only need it reshaped, the reframe tool converts clips up to 2 minutes to 9:16 free, one a day on a free account.
