You tape every spot, and the phone fills up with sets nobody watches back, you included. shortshort reads the transcript of an 18-minute set, keeps the passages that hold up as a whole bit, holds the vertical crop on you at the mic and puts the words on screen in time with your delivery.
30 free credits, no cardUp to 2 GB per videoMP4 · 9:16 or 4:5
Clip a recorded stand-up set into vertical shorts, one bit each, keeping the setup and the punchline together, captioned for a feed that starts without sound.
Example with shortshort: an 18-minute club set becomes 6 shorts of about 35 seconds, for 18 credits, from the Creator plan.

Selection happens in the transcript, on passages that set themselves up and land on their own. Ask for 35 seconds and a clip comes back anywhere between roughly 26 and 44 seconds, because the tolerance is 25% either way and the punchline decides where it stops, not the number you typed.
Club footage is wide, dim and locked off on a tripod. A 9:16 crop keeps about a third of the width of that 16:9 frame, and tracking holds it on you at the mic, so you come up far larger than the tripod saw you. Any zoom on top of that is automatic and stays between x1.0 and x1.6.
Talk to a table and there are two people in the exchange. A shot the analysis marks as one a vertical crop would cut in half is kept whole instead of sliced to a strip, and when the person answering holds the frame long enough to count as a turn, about a second and a half, the crop cuts to them and cuts back to you afterwards. A two-word heckle never moves it.
A minute of footage costs one credit and the clip count changes nothing: an 18-minute set is 18 credits, for one short or for twenty. The 30 credits you get on signup cover a first set, and the 480 credits in Starter cover twenty-six, a set nearly every night of the month.
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: Karaoke. Stand-up is timing. Karaoke colours each word on the beat you said it and leaves the screen still through the pause before the tag, so a muted phone shows the silence you played.
Upload the recording of the set, up to 2 GB per file in MP4, MOV or WebM, then choose how many clips you want and roughly how long each should run, from 15 to 90 seconds. The AI reads the transcript, keeps the passages that work as a complete bit, crops to 9:16 on you at the mic and captions every word. You get 1080 x 1920 MP4 files: 3 per set on the free tier, where the export carries a small watermark, then 5 on Starter, 10 on Creator and 20 on the Studio plan.
Not by listening for them. The selection works from what was said, not from how loud the room got, and it keeps passages that hold together as a bit from setup to punchline. Something that killed on a look, a pause or a piece of business, with nothing carrying it in the words, can be passed over. Cut that one yourself in the studio: add a clip, type the start and end seconds of the bit, and render again. Setting What to look for to Funny moments makes the AI favor jokes and witty lines in the transcript, still within the length you ask for and on complete sentences.
Tracking runs on the file as it was shot, and the vertical crop fills the phone with a slice of that wide frame, which is what turns a distant shot into something like a close-up. It cannot add resolution that was never there, so a set filmed thirty rows back in near darkness gives a soft one. The crop is placed automatically on the face it finds, when that face is large enough in the picture to be tracked, and the zoom never exceeds x1.6; there are no sliders to set it by hand.
Yes, on any paid plan. A short you export is published to the shortshort community gallery by default, next to the recording it came from. Starter, Creator and the Studio plan all include the setting that keeps your videos out of the gallery, and it covers what you have already exported as well as everything you export afterwards.
It fits if the file stays under 2 GB, but it costs you. Billing counts a credit for every started minute of the file, so a 3-hour comedy night is 180 credits against the 8 credits your 8-minute spot would cost on its own. Trim the recording down to your set in any editor before uploading and you only pay for your own time on stage.
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.
