Turn a long video into Shorts — without watching it back

What actually happens to your video

Nothing here is a filter or a template. The pipeline runs the same steps a human editor would, in order, and each one is inspectable in the dashboard while it runs.

• Transcription — the whole video is transcribed with word-level timings, which is what makes frame-accurate cuts and synced captions possible.
• Moment detection — the transcript is analysed for segments that make sense out of context: a complete thought, a story, a strong claim, a question and its answer.
• Cutting — each clip is trimmed to start on the hook rather than mid-sentence, and to end before the conversation drifts.
• Reframing — horizontal footage is reframed to 9:16 so the person speaking stays centred instead of being cropped out.
• Captions — burned in at word level in the caption style you pick, because most short-form is watched on mute.
• Publishing — optional. Clips can sit in review for approval, or go straight to your connected accounts on a posting schedule.

Which long videos this works best on

Anything where somebody is talking. The clipping engine works from what is said, so the more speech a video contains, the more it has to work with.

• Podcast episodes and long interviews — usually the richest source, since a single episode holds several self-contained stories.
• Webinars, workshops and course lessons — the Q&A section is often the strongest clip material in the whole recording.
• Livestream VODs — long, loosely structured, and painful to clip by hand, which is exactly the case automation earns its keep on.
• Talking-head YouTube uploads — one upload becomes the week's Shorts, Reels and TikToks.
• Panels and fireside chats — where the reframing matters most, because the interesting speaker is rarely centred in the original frame.

Do it once, or set it and forget it

Pasting a link is the manual path and it is fine for a one-off. If you publish on a schedule, the better setup is a workflow: point VibeClipper at your YouTube channel once, and every new upload is clipped in the look you chose and posted at the times you picked, without you opening the app.

That is the difference between a converter and an automation. A converter needs you to show up with a file. A workflow keeps running the week you are too busy to think about short-form.
