Your questions, answered.
Can I convert YouTube videos to shorts for free?
The free trial covers one source video and access to all generated shorts, depending on the moments available. Free projects expire three days after creation. Shared file-size and processing limits still apply. See Pricing for paid plans and source-minute allowances.
Can I paste any YouTube URL?
Use a direct, public YouTube video URL. Shorts URLs are accepted when the underlying video is accessible, but playlists, private videos and some restricted videos are not valid sources.
Does intoshort post the clips automatically?
No. The current workflow prepares editable drafts for review and export. Nothing is published just because a video finished processing.
Can I change the AI-selected moment?
Yes. The suggestions are a starting point. You can review the passage, adjust the cut and change the caption style, size and position before export.
Your next short is already in your video.
