How It Works

Making shorts is easy

No timeline, no keyframes, no learning curve. Just paste and publish.

1

Upload your video

Paste a YouTube link or upload a file directly to Short.now.

2

AI does the magic

It analyzes the video, finds key moments, and writes the captions.

3

Customize

Adjust length, tweak captions, and fine-tune each short to taste.

4

Publish

Send finished shorts straight to your favorite platforms.

Features

AI that understands every second of your video

It watches, listens and reads every frame — then scores the moments, follows the speaker, and writes everything you need to publish.

Short.now — Viral scoring
Viral scoring

Every clip gets a score, and a reason.

Short.now rates each moment on hook, flow, value and trend, then tells you why it scored that way. Post the 94, skip the 61.

Short.now — On-screen hook
On-screen hook

Stop the scroll in the first second.

An attention-grabbing hook is written and burned onto the opening frames — restyle it, move it, or rewrite it in a click.

Short.now — Speaker-aware reframe
Speaker-aware reframe

The frame follows whoever's talking.

Not a centre crop. Short.now tracks the active speaker, cuts between faces on a two-hander, and zooms out when there is text on screen.

Short.now — Auto-captions
Auto-captions

Word-perfect captions, in your style.

Transcribed and timed word by word, then styled from a preset library — edit any line before you export.

Short.now — Ready to publish
Ready to publish

Titles, descriptions and hashtags written for you.

Every clip ships with a title, a description and tags, ready to paste straight into the upload box.

Short.now — One source, every feed
One source, every feed

Any platform. Any length. 13 languages.

Every clip comes out 9:16, sized for the vertical feeds. Cut anywhere from under 30 seconds to 15 minutes, auto-detect the language or pick from 13, and export the video, the captions, or an FCPXML timeline for Premiere and Resolve.
