FOR COURSE CREATORS

Turn course lessons into shorts.

A lesson is built from a handful of ideas, each explained in a minute. Those minutes are the best ad for the course you will ever make, and they are already recorded. shortshort finds them, one idea per clip, and captions them so they teach with the sound off.

A clip is a complete explanation

The selection favours passages that open and close an idea: a definition, an example, a rule. A clip that stops mid-explanation teaches nothing, so it is not chosen.

Screen recordings keep their detail

When a lesson shows code, a spreadsheet or a diagram, the frame is kept full so the detail survives. When it is you at the desk, the crop follows you.

Captions that read like notes

Karaoke captions colour the words as they are said. Students read along, and a clip watched muted in a feed still delivers the lesson.

Ten lessons, one afternoon

Each lesson is one upload. Ask for 5 or 6 clips per lesson and a ten-lesson course becomes fifty shorts, each pointing back to the course.

How it works for online courses

Five steps. About two minutes of your time.

  1. 01Drop one lesson at a time, MP4, MOV or WebM
  2. 02Ask for 5 or 6 clips of about 50 seconds
  3. 03The AI keeps the passages that explain one complete idea
  4. 04Screens and diagrams stay full-frame, you are reframed in 9:16
  5. 05Download the shorts and publish them with a link to the course

Suggested captions: Karaoke. A lesson is followed word by word. Karaoke colours each word as it is said, the closest thing to reading along.

Questions people ask

Do I need to re-record anything?

No. The clips come from the lesson as it was recorded. If you later change the framing or the captions, the source stays the same and only the clip is rendered again.

My lessons are mostly screen recordings. Does vertical make sense?

The parts that show a screen are kept full-frame, so the text stays readable, and the parts where you are on camera are cropped to 9:16. Clips that mix both are common and work well.

How long should a course clip be?

Between 30 and 60 seconds is usually right: long enough to explain one idea, short enough to be watched to the end. You choose the target, and the AI may run up to 25% shorter or longer to finish a sentence.

Can I export the plan to render clips elsewhere?

The Studio plan includes the JSON edit plan of every short, with the passages, the framing keyframes and the timed words, for rendering in your own pipeline.
