How It Works

From video to published — in four steps

1

Upload or paste a link

Drop in a video file or paste a YouTube URL. Short.now ingests it and transcribes every word automatically.

2

AI finds the best moments

The AI scans the full video — hooks, punchlines, insights — and scores each moment for how likely it is to stop the scroll.

3

Review your clips

See every clip ranked by virality score. Captions are added, the framing is vertical, and each cut is editable.

4

Export or publish

Download watermark-free MP4s or publish straight to your platforms. One long video becomes a week of clips.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

AI moment detection

Analyzes audio energy, speech patterns, and visual peaks to surface the clips most likely to perform — no manual scrubbing.

Automatic 9:16 reframe

Crops and reframes to vertical with speaker tracking, so the person talking stays centered even as the shot changes.

Animated word captions

Accurate, word-by-word captions synced to speech — the kind that keep viewers watching with the sound off.

Virality scoring

Each clip gets a score based on hook strength, pacing, and engagement signals, so you know which to post first.
