Questions and answers
AI video clipper FAQ
How the clipper finds the best moments, how the 9:16 reframe and captions work, what you can import, which platforms it covers, and what it costs.
Clip quality
Yes. Shortie reads the full transcript of your video, finds the hooks, punchlines, and self-contained stories, and scores each clip for virality. You get the moments most likely to pop, ranked, instead of arbitrary 60-second slices you have to dig through.
Your video is reframed to 9:16 automatically, with a blurred fill above and below so nothing is squashed or cropped to a sliver, so there is no manual reframing and no awkward crops. Nothing is cropped away, so everything you shot stays in shot the whole clip.
They are transcribed from your audio, timed to the speech, and burned into the picture, ready to post. The Bold style is included on every plan; Karaoke and Minimal are available on Pro and Agency, so clips read with the sound off and match the look of your channel.
What you can import
Podcast episodes, webinars, interviews, and Zoom or Riverside recordings, basically any long video. Upload the file and Shortie does the rest.
TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Every clip exports as one 1080x1920 file, which is the native 9:16 spec all three accept, so the same download drops into any of those feeds.
No. Clips come reframed to 9:16, captioned, and correctly sized. Download the batch and post, with no separate editing, captioning, or resizing pass.
How it compares
No. Shortie clips your real footage. The shorts are cut from the video you actually recorded, so it is your real content and your real voice, just turned into post-ready shorts. Nothing is synthetic.
Minutes instead of hours. You skip scrubbing the timeline, guessing which moments hit, reframing to vertical, retyping captions, and exporting clip by clip. Shortie does all of it in one pass.
Yes, on volume. The Agency plan includes 2,400 upload minutes a month, four times what Pro includes, which is enough to clip for several creators or clients from one account. There are no separate client workspaces or team logins yet: an agency account is one login with a large monthly allowance.
Plans and pricing
Yes. Creating an account gets you 20 upload-minutes a month and up to 5 clips per video, rendered exactly like the paid ones but carrying a small shortie.ai watermark. You can also cut 2 clips without an account at all - the free demo needs no card and no sign-up.
A freelance editor runs $25 to $75 an hour, and clipping a week of shorts yourself eats a full day. Shortie turns one long video into a batch of post-ready shorts in minutes, for a flat monthly fee priced per upload minute.
Yes. Plans are flexible. You can move up or down at any time, with no long lock-in contracts.
