An all-hands runs an hour, and the colleagues who need it most are asleep, on a plane or three time zones away while it happens. shortshort reads the recording, keeps each announcement whole and hands back 55-second clips for Slack, the intranet and the onboarding folder, one per topic.

The transcript is read for the passage that states a point and finishes it: the policy and the date it takes effect, the figure and the sentence that explains it. A 55-second target can stretch to 68 seconds when the sentence needs the room, because half a commitment is worse than none.
An all-hands moves from the CEO to finance to engineering with no warning. The 9:16 frame sits on the face that is talking, and a change of speaker is a hard cut in the framing rather than a slow drift across the room.
A revenue chart, an org chart or a launch timeline is left at its full width instead of being sliced, so nobody has to reopen the deck to read a number. The vertical crop is spent on people.
Exported shorts join the community gallery by default. Any paid plan, from €12 a month, keeps your videos out of it, the ones already exported included, which is the setting an internal comms team turns on before an unreleased roadmap is clipped at all.
Five steps. About two minutes of your time.
Suggested captions: Minimal. A date, a headcount or a policy gets quoted and forwarded. Minimal shows the wording exactly as it was said, with no animation turning an internal update into an advert.
Upload the meeting as a file of up to 3 hours and 2 GB, in MP4, MOV or WebM, then set a clip count and a target length. The AI reads the transcript and returns each clip as a 1080 x 1920 MP4 of 15 to 90 seconds. The free tier caps a video at 3 clips and stamps a watermark; Starter allows 5, Creator 10 and Studio 20.
Yes, as long as it is exported as MP4, MOV or WebM. A speaker view, a grid of participants or a shared deck are all video like any other: the 9:16 frame stays on the person talking and moves at each handover, while a slide on screen is left at full width instead of being squeezed into the vertical frame.
The ones that survive without the hour around them: a policy with the date it takes effect, a figure with the sentence that explains it, a question from the floor with the answer given to it. Selection runs on complete sentences, so a clip does not stop halfway through a commitment.
Only if you leave them in the community gallery, where exported shorts land by default; a published short can be withdrawn at any time. A paid plan from €12 a month keeps your videos out of the gallery altogether, the exports already made included.
Billing is by the minute of source video, not by the clip: a 57-minute meeting costs 57 credits whether it yields three clips or nine. Starter is €12 a month for 240 credits, four meetings; Creator is €29 for 800, fourteen; Studio is €79 for 3,000. Nine clips from one meeting needs Creator or Studio, and the 60 credits given at signup cover a first hour-long meeting.
Free to try with 60 credits. Your source video stays yours; the shorts you export join the community, and a plan keeps them out of it.
