How to turn a long video into Shorts

  1. Drop the video, or try the sample; the scan takes a few seconds per minute of video
  2. Choose Best moments (how many, how long) or Every scene
  3. Tap a clip to see where it starts; nudge it with ◀ ▶ or remove it
  4. Pick the frame: crop the middle to 9:16, fit with a blurred background, or keep as is
  5. Tap Make my Shorts; each clip records in real time, then download or share them

How the moments are picked

Every half second a tiny frame is compared with the previous one. A big jump is a scene change; steady movement is “action”. Best moments start at a scene change where possible and favour the busiest stretches, without cutting through another scene change. It is a sensible first cut, not an editor: nudge or remove what it gets wrong.

Shorts rules

  • Length: up to 60 seconds (YouTube now allows up to 3 minutes, but under 60 is what gets pushed).
  • Size: 1080 × 1920 or 720 × 1280, vertical.
  • Cover: tap Cover from this frame to make a cover from the frame you are looking at.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the video to shorts (auto cuts) tool.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The scan and the recording both run in your browser.

How long does it take?

The scan: a few seconds per minute of video. The clips: as long as they are, because each one plays once while it records.

Can it add subtitles?

Not here. Run each clip through Auto subtitles afterwards.
