You film a listing in one take, phone in hand, talking your way from the entrance to the garden, and the file stays on the phone because cutting it into Reels is an evening nobody has between two viewings. shortshort reads the tour, keeps the passages where you sell a room from the first word to the last, leaves the wide shots as wide as you filmed them and captions every word, so one walkthrough becomes a week of posts before the open house.
60 free credits, no cardUp to 3 hours per videoMP4 · 1080 × 1920
A slow pan across a living room is a wide shot, and the source image is kept whole inside the vertical frame, with dark bands above and below, instead of a crop that would show a third of the floor. The 9:16 crop comes back to your face the second you turn to the lens to talk about the price.
The transcript decides where a clip opens and where it stops: from your first word about the kitchen redone last year, the south-facing garden or the service charge, to your last one. Ask for 30 seconds and a clip may land at 24 or 36 instead, because half a sentence about a bathroom sells nothing.
Billing follows the length of the tour, not the number of clips: one credit per minute of video. A 24-minute walkthrough is 24 credits whether you ask for 3 clips or 8, so the 240 credits of Starter cover ten tours for 12 EUR a month, at up to 5 clips per video, and Creator lifts that ceiling to 10. The 60 credits given at signup cover your first two.
By default every export lands in the community gallery, with the source video next to it. Taking them out of it comes with any paid plan and covers the listings already exported as well as the next ones, which matters when the owner still sleeps in the bedroom you filmed.
Five steps. About two minutes of your time.
Suggested captions: Minimal. A tour is sold by what fills the frame. Minimal holds one plain block of text low in the picture and leaves the light, the volume and the view untouched.
Upload the walkthrough to shortshort as one MP4, MOV or WebM file of up to 3 hours and 2 GB, then set the number of clips and the length of each, anywhere from 15 to 90 seconds. The AI transcribes the tour, keeps the passages where you describe a room from start to finish, crops to 9:16 on your face when you speak to camera, leaves wide room shots whole and times the captions on your voice. Each clip is exported as a 1080 x 1920 MP4, ready to post to Reels, TikTok and Shorts as it is.
Yes, and nothing needs editing first. A single horizontal take is the ideal source: it is uploaded as it is, up to 3 hours and 2 GB, and every short comes out vertical at 1080 x 1920 whatever the orientation of the original. One unbroken take also gives the AI a continuous transcript to choose its passages from.
No. A wide shot is recognised as one and kept whole, so a room is seen at the width you filmed it. The 9:16 crop is reserved for moments when someone is talking on camera, and it follows that face, switching when the person speaking changes.
No. The clips are chosen from what was said, so a tour carrying only music leaves nothing to select and nothing to caption. Narrate as you walk, even from behind the camera, or record a voice-over onto the footage before uploading, and the tour becomes usable.
One credit per minute of the video you upload, and asking for eight clips instead of three changes nothing. A 24-minute walkthrough is 24 credits. Starter costs 12 EUR a month for 240 credits with up to 5 shorts per video, Creator 29 EUR for 800 credits and 10 shorts, Studio 79 EUR for 3000 credits and 20 shorts. A new account starts with 60 free credits, and free exports carry a watermark that any paid plan removes.
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.
