CLIP SELECTION

Clips that end where the sentence does.

A short that stops mid-sentence is a short nobody shares. shortshort reads the full transcript of your video and proposes shorts that open on the first word of a sentence and close on the last, in the same studio where you edit and export them.

The transcript decides, not a timer

The whole video is transcribed word by word and watched with its audio before anything is chosen. The AI then keeps passages that can be quoted on their own, a full answer or a full argument, rather than slicing the timeline at fixed intervals.

A 25% margin to finish the thought

You set a target length between 15 and 90 seconds. To close a sentence cleanly, a short may run a quarter shorter or longer than that target: ask for 30 seconds and you get anything from 22.5 to 37.5 seconds, with the last word intact.

No passage is used twice

Each proposal covers a distinct part of the recording. Ten shorts from one video are ten different passages, each with its own title and its own edit, so you are not posting the same moment with a different crop.

A proposal, not a verdict

Nothing is rendered until you ask. Every selected short is an edit you can shorten, extend, retitle or discard in the studio, and there is no score that predicts views: the AI selects what reads as complete, and you decide what goes out.

How it works, step by step

The same studio for every video; this is the part this page is about.

  1. 01Upload one MP4, MOV or WebM of up to 3 hours and 2 GB to your shortshort account.
  2. 02Choose how many shorts you want, up to your plan's limit, and a target length from 15 to 90 seconds.
  3. 03The AI transcribes the whole recording, then picks complete, quotable passages that do not overlap.
  4. 04Review each proposal in the studio and move a cut if you prefer a different start or end.
  5. 05Render the ones you keep as 1080 x 1920 MP4, one file per short.

Questions people ask

How does shortshort decide where a short starts and ends?

It reads the transcript of the whole video and looks for passages that make sense on their own: a question with its answer, a claim with its example. The cut is placed on the first and last word of that passage, so the short opens and closes on a complete sentence rather than at a fixed second.

What does the 25% margin mean in practice?

The 25% margin is the room the AI has to finish a sentence. If you ask for 30-second shorts, each one may run between 22.5 and 37.5 seconds. If you ask for 60, the range is 45 to 75. The target is a guide; the sentence boundary wins.

How many shorts can I get from one video?

Between 1 and 20 per video, each 15 to 90 seconds long. The ceiling depends on your plan: 3 on Free, 5 on Starter, 10 on Creator and 20 on Studio. Whatever the number, the video costs 1 credit per minute of source.

Does it rank the shorts by how well they will perform?

No. shortshort does not compute a performance score or predict views. It proposes passages that are complete and quotable, and the order and the final choice are yours. Each short comes with a title the AI wrote for it, which is the quickest way to pick.

Can two shorts overlap or repeat the same moment?

No. Selected passages are kept apart, so each short is a different part of the recording. If you want a second version of the same moment with a different length, adjust the bounds of that short by hand in the studio and render it again.

Is this a separate tool from the shortshort editor?

No. Sentence-based selection is the first step of the same shortshort studio: the AI proposes the passages, and the same page lets you change the cuts, the framing, the captions and the title before you export the MP4. The AI step needs an account; manual editing does not.
