AI Clip Generator

Paste a link, generate a batch of clips

Drop in a YouTube URL or upload a long video and Short.now generates dozens of vertical clips automatically — each scored for virality, captioned, and reframed to 9:16. One link in, a week of content out.

For creators and teams who want to turn one long video — their own or a YouTube link — into many ready-to-post clips at once, without downloading or editing.

How It Works

From video to published — in four steps

1

Paste a YouTube link

Drop in any public YouTube URL — or upload a file. No downloading, no re-uploading; Short.now imports it directly.

2

AI generates clips in bulk

The generator extracts the best moments across the whole video and produces a batch of vertical clips automatically.

3

Review ranked by virality

Every generated clip comes scored, captioned, and reframed. Sort by virality score and pick your favorites.

4

Download or publish

Export watermark-free MP4s or publish directly. Generate a month of clips from a single long video.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Paste-a-link input

Generate clips straight from a YouTube URL — no downloads, no file wrangling. Drop the link and go.

Bulk clip generation

One long video can generate 30+ candidate clips at once, so you scale output without scaling editing time.

Virality scoring

Each generated clip is scored on hook strength and pacing, so the best ones surface to the top automatically.

Captions and 9:16 built in

Every generated clip ships reframed to vertical with animated word-by-word captions — ready to post as-is.
