An agency quotes before the footage arrives. shortshort charges per minute of source, not per short: a 90-minute client recording costs 90 credits whether it yields 5 vertical shorts or 20 on the Studio plan. It is the same shortshort studio, one account with no seats and no API: the limits are listed below.
30 free credits, no cardUp to 2 GB per videoMP4 · 9:16 or 4:5
shortshort turns a client recording of up to 2 GB into up to 20 vertical shorts on the Studio plan, at 1 credit per minute of source whatever the number of shorts. One account is one login: no seats and no API; publishing goes to YouTube on a calendar, and TikTok is in early access.
Recommended plan: Studio. 6,000 credits a month cover 100 hours of client footage, each video can yield up to 20 shorts on the Studio plan, and the JSON edit plan of every saved short (cut points, framing and word timings) lets your own renderer finish the job.
Facts checked against the product on . Prices before VAT.
Four facts, each with its number.
One credit buys one minute of source, however many shorts you ask for. The Studio plan gives 6,000 credits a month, which is 100 hours of client video: ten clients sending ten hours each, or two clients each sending a two-hour recording every working day.
The number of shorts a video can yield depends on the plan: 3 on the Free plan, 5 on Starter, 10 on Creator and 20 on the Studio plan. The AI does not reuse a selected passage between the shorts of one series, and each short carries its own title and its own framing, so on the Studio plan a client receives 20 distinct deliverables rather than 20 crops of the same moment.
Every plan can export the short open in the studio as a JSON edit plan, and the Studio plan adds that download for every saved short: the in and out points, the framing keyframes and the timed words. If your studio already renders through its own pipeline, feed it the plan and add the lower thirds, the logo animation and the music there, since shortshort adds none of these itself and exports only MP4 at 30 fps, in 9:16 at 1080 x 1920 or 4:5 at 1080 x 1350.
Caption colour and font can be set on every video on any plan; the Studio plan saves one combination as a preset and applies it to each new upload. There is a single preset per account, not a template per client, which suits an agency with one look across its work and means a manual change per video for an agency with ten looks.
Five steps, the same studio as everyone else.

shortshort has no team workspace and no seats: an account is one login. An agency that wants several editors on the tool opens one account per editor, or one per client, and each account holds its own credits, its own library and, on the Studio plan, its own brand preset.
shortshort's Studio plan is 79 EUR a month or 758 EUR a year, plus VAT, for 6,000 credits. A credit is one minute of source video, so the month covers 100 hours of footage across every client, and the number of shorts per video changes nothing in the price. If a month runs over, top-ups are 400 credits for 9 EUR, 1,200 for 24 EUR or 4,000 for 69 EUR.
Yes, on any paid plan: Starter, Creator and Studio export without a watermark, so nothing on the file names the tool. One setting to make first: by default an exported short joins the public community with its source video and the transcript of the short. Switch that off once for the whole account, before the first client export, or short by short.
No. shortshort has no API and nothing to connect it to another tool, and no analytics; scheduled publishing covers YouTube, with TikTok in early access. What it offers instead is the JSON edit plan of each short, which your own rendering server can read, and rendering on our servers on every plan, so a long recording finishes while the tab is closed.
Not as saved presets. A shortshort account on the Studio plan stores one brand preset, and that is the one loaded when a new video opens. Caption colour and font are still adjustable per video on any plan, so a second client's look is set by hand on each of their videos, and the choice between the four caption styles, Spotlight, Impact, Karaoke and Minimal, is made per video too.
30 credits cover one video of up to 30 minutes, no card, so start with a shorter recording. Move to Studio when the volume asks for it.
