Video-to-Shorts Generator

Creator guide

Use it to skip scrubbing, not to skip judgment

This surfaces real, accurately-timed windows of your content — it can't tell you which one will actually perform, since that needs real audience and visual data.

What this tool generates

Real ~45-second candidate windows chunked from the video's actual caption timing, each with its real spoken text.

How to use the result

Scan the text of each window and pick the one that reads as a complete, standalone thought.

Data to note

Window boundaries are based on caption timing, not scene or topic changes — always double-check the exact in/out points in your editor.

A simple way to use this tool

1. Read through each window's real text before picking one to clip.
2. Trim the window's exact boundaries once you're in your editor — the 45-second windows are a starting point, not a precise cut.
3. Prioritize windows that work as a standalone thought, since Shorts need to make sense without the surrounding context.
