A stream runs for hours and the clips that grow the channel are forty seconds each. Watching it back to find them takes as long again. shortshort takes the whole VOD, up to 2 GB per file, reads what was said and hands back the passages that stand on their own.

Four things the studio does to a 2 h 50 stream, two of them shown as they happen.
01
The limit is 2 GB per file: a long VOD may need re-exporting at a lower bitrate or resolution to fit in one upload. A 2 h 50 VOD costs 170 credits; Creator, 29 EUR a month for 1,600 credits, covers nine of them, and the Studio plan, 79 EUR for 6,000, covers thirty-five.

The selection reads the transcript for complete, quotable passages: the reaction explained, the story told to chat, the take on the game. It does not chase audio peaks.
The reason most clips fail is that they stop before the idea lands, and a viewer who never hears the end of the sentence has no reason to share it. ✂ mid-sentence

Same passage, same 30-second target. shortshort keeps going to the end of the sentence, 37 seconds here, which is inside the 25% margin it allows.
03
Wide gameplay frames are detected and kept full so the action is readable; when the camera is the subject, the crop follows it. Framing is automatic.
04
With an account, the whole generation runs on our servers, on every plan. Upload the VOD after the stream, close the tab once the upload finishes, sleep, and the clips are ready in My projects.
Five steps. About two minutes of your time; the processing itself runs on our servers and depends on the length of the video.
Suggested captions: Impact. Stream clips are loud and fast. Impact puts one word in bold per line and keeps the rest out of the way.
Download the VOD from Twitch or YouTube and upload the file, up to 2 GB in MP4, MOV or WebM, then choose how many clips you want and a target length between 15 and 90 seconds. The AI transcribes the stream and keeps the passages that stand on their own; wide gameplay stays full-frame, a face on camera is cropped to 9:16 with automatic zooms, and every word is captioned. Each clip is a 1080 x 1920 MP4, and the VOD costs one credit per minute: a 2 h 50 stream is 170 credits, whatever the number of clips.
Re-export it at a lower bitrate or resolution, or split it in your editor or with any trimming tool and upload the parts separately. Each part is its own generation with its own clips.
It picks moments where what was said stands on its own: a reaction explained, a story, a strong take. Purely visual moments with no speech are not selected, because the clip needs words to caption and to make sense in a feed. To steer it, set What to look for to Funny moments: the AI then favors jokes, witty remarks and banter in what is said, while the length you ask for and complete sentences still come first.
Wide gameplay is detected as a full-frame scene and kept whole, with space above and below. The crop is used when the facecam or the streamer is the subject.
Longer than a short video: the AI analysis covers the whole recording before the clips are tracked and captioned. With an account it runs on our servers on every plan, so once the upload finishes you do not have to keep the tab open.
Free to try with 30 credits and up to 3 shorts per video. Your upload stays private until you export; exported shorts join the community with their source video by default, and any paid plan can keep them out.
