Shorts from your long-form, done for you

You already shot it.
Then the edit ate your week.

Every long-form video you publish has six to ten shorts hiding inside it. Cutting them is the least creative, most time-consuming job you own. We take it off you: vertical shorts with captions, pacing and your branding, back in days.

The creator squeeze

Shorts are how
people find you.
Long-form is why they stay.

Everyone tells you to post shorts daily. Nobody mentions that doing it properly means a second full-time editing job on top of the channel you already run. So most creators post shorts for two weeks, burn out, and go back to long-form only.

Editing is the part that kills momentum. Filming is the fun bit. Sitting in a timeline for six hours cutting the same video into nine pieces is not, and it is the first thing that slips.
Hiring an editor is a real job you now manage. Finding them, testing them, briefing them, chasing them. Most creators try this once and quietly go back to doing it themselves.
Auto-clip tools do not know your channel. They cut on silence, not on story. You still watch twenty rough cuts to find the two that work, which is most of the time you were trying to save.
How it works

One upload.
A week of shorts.

A person picks the moments

We watch the whole thing and pull the self-contained beats: the story with a payoff, the hot take, the bit where you actually got animated. Not whatever happened to sit between two silences.

Shorts arrive ready to post

Vertical, captioned, paced, branded, each with a title and description. Straight to Shorts, Reels and your feed.

What you get

Ready to post.
Nothing to fix.

6 to 10 shorts per long-form video, 20 to 60 seconds, each a complete thought with a hook.

Hook-first structure: the best line goes at second zero, not ninety seconds in where nobody reaches it.

Pacing that holds attention: visible change every few seconds, dead air tightened out.

Your channel's look on every short: colours, fonts, caption style, locked in on the first delivery.

Titles and descriptions included, written from what you actually said.

Fast turnaround so shorts go up while the long-form is still being pushed.

Why a person, not an algorithm

Picking the moment
is the whole job.
Tools guess at it.

Anyone can caption a random forty seconds. Knowing which forty seconds carries a story, where the hook belongs and where the clip has to end so the punchline lands, that is editorial judgment. It is exactly where auto-clip tools fail, and it is the part we keep manual on every single short.

Whole-video context Every short is chosen by someone who watched the full upload, so no bit gets cut in half.
Your voice, not a template We match how your channel already looks and sounds rather than applying the same preset everyone else is using.
Your footage stays private Processed on our own systems. Never uploaded to third-party AI tools.
Questions

Asked by every
creator we talk to.

Who owns the shorts?

You do, fully, including the free samples. Your channel, your content, your shorts. We keep nothing and license nothing.

Can you match my channel's style?

Yes. Send a short you already like and we will match the caption style, colours and pacing. It gets locked into a profile so every delivery after that is consistent.

My content is audio-only or podcast style. Does this work?

Yes. Audio gets an animated audiogram treatment: waveform motion, captions, hook cards and your branding. Built for shows with no video surface at all.

How is this different from Opus Clip and similar tools?

Those guess moments with an algorithm and bill you by upload minute. We pick moments by watching the whole video, and you never pay to process footage that yields nothing usable.

I post more than once a week. Can you keep up?

Yes. The mechanical work is automated, which is the entire reason volume is not a problem. Tell us your upload cadence and we will match it.

What does it cost?

It depends on how often you upload and how many shorts you want per video. Send one video first, get three shorts free, then we will work out what fits your cadence.
