THE EDITOR

Edit every cut, title and caption before you render.

Every short the AI proposes lands in the editor, where you change its clips and their bounds, the title and description, the caption words and the caption style. Move a cut, fix a word, swap the style, then render the MP4 on our servers, in 9:16 or 4:5. The editor comes with the free account that runs the AI analysis.

Editor: the short answer

Retouch every short the AI proposes: clips and their bounds, title, description, caption words and style. The editor and the MP4 export need a free account.

What you change on every short

Clips and their bounds, title, description, caption words and caption style are all editable; framing and zooms are automatic. Each short from the same video has its own edit, so a change to one leaves the others untouched.

Rendered on our servers

With an account, generation and rendering run on our servers on every plan: once the upload finishes you can close the tab and come back to finished shorts.

An editor for the AI proposals

The editor opens on the shorts the AI proposes from your video, and you add, move or remove clips from there. It needs a free account, with 30 credits and no card, the same one that runs the AI step, which transcribes the video and proposes the shorts, and the MP4 export.

What the editor does not do

There is no track for adding music, B-roll or animated titles, no silence or filler-word removal and no audio cleaning. The output is one MP4 per short, in 9:16 or 4:5; there is no compilation of several shorts into one file.

How it works, step by step

5 steps, all in the same shortshort studio.

  1. 01Generate the shorts in the shortshort studio with a free account: each AI proposal opens in the editor.
  2. 02Type the start and end of each clip as a number of seconds, for example 12.4; the values are applied as typed, not snapped to a word, so set them where the sentence starts and ends.
  3. 03Check the automatic framing, then fix the caption words and emphasize the ones that matter.
  4. 04Choose a caption style and a title, pick 9:16 or 4:5 for the series, then export: the MP4 renders on our servers once you are signed in.
  5. 05Download the files, one per short, at 30 fps: 1080 x 1920 in 9:16, 1080 x 1350 in 4:5.

Questions people ask

Can I use the editor without creating an account?

No. The editor works on the shorts the AI proposes, and the AI analysis, which transcribes the video and proposes the shorts, needs a free account, as does the MP4 export. Every new account gets 30 credits without a card.

What can I change on a short the AI proposed?

The clips and their bounds, the title and description, the caption words and their emphasis, and the caption style; framing and zooms are set automatically. A render only starts when you click it, so you can go through all the proposals and fix them first, then render the ones you keep.

Does the render need my computer, or can it run in the background?

It runs in the background, not on your computer. With an account, generation and rendering run on our servers on every plan: once the upload finishes you can close the tab and come back to finished shorts.

Can I download all the shorts at once?

Yes. Download all gives one ZIP with each short twice, with its captions and without them, and each MP4 can also be downloaded on its own. Shorts cut from the same video share one source file and stay grouped together in the library, which makes them easy to find again.

Does the editor publish to TikTok or YouTube?

To YouTube, yes. On the Publish page you connect a YouTube channel, then pick a day and time for each exported short, or let shortshort spread them over the coming weeks; titles and descriptions are written in the language you choose. Scheduling always takes the 9:16 version of a short; a short that exists only in 4:5, an edited 4:5 copy included, goes out in 4:5, and YouTube shows it with bars. TikTok publishing is in early access and not open to every account yet: until then you download the MP4 and post it yourself on TikTok, Instagram Reels, the Instagram feed or anywhere else.

Is the editor a different product from the AI clip maker?

No. It is the same shortshort studio. The AI step proposes shorts, and the editor is the page where they land: you retouch each proposal there, then export the MP4. Both run on the same free account.
