Reuse the video you already published
Turn YouTube videos into editable shorts.
Paste a public YouTube link, tell intoshort what moments to look for, and review a set of captioned vertical drafts before anything leaves your workspace.
Works with public YouTube video links you are allowed to reuse.
What intoshort does
A first edit, not an automatic publish button.
intoshort handles the repetitive first pass while you keep the editorial decisions. It reads the source, selects passages that match your instructions, calculates the cuts and prepares drafts for review.
- Choose the kinds of moments, target duration, caption style and output quality before processing.
- Review the suggested passage and adjust the cut instead of accepting a black-box result.
- Correct captions and export only the shorts you approve.
From source to export
From a YouTube link to review-ready drafts.
The source stays connected to one clear workflow, so you can follow the processing state and return to the same project when the drafts are ready.- 01
Paste the public YouTube link
intoshort checks that the URL is supported and reads the available source information before you configure the result.
- 02
Describe the moments you want
Set the number and length of moments, captions, resolution and the editorial direction for the selection.
- 03
Let AI prepare the first cut
The source is transcribed, aligned and analyzed. The model references real transcript segments; intoshort validates the timing and makes the cuts.
- 04
Review, refine and export
Play every suggestion, change the cut or caption treatment, and download only the versions you want to use.
Before you process
The link still has to be usable.
- The video must be public and accessible. Private, age-restricted, region-blocked or protected sources can fail to import.
- You need the right to download, edit and republish the source. A public URL does not grant reuse rights.
- AI can miss context, visual-only moments or a better edit. No clipper can guarantee reach or virality, so review remains necessary.
Questions
Clear answers before you start.
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 footage, your decision.
