The count is a plan setting, not a price
One 60-minute file costs 60 credits whether you keep 5 shorts on Starter or 20 on the Studio plan, so more posts from the same source cost nothing extra.
VIDEO REPURPOSING TOOL
Repurpose one long video into many shorts.
Repurposing means getting several posts out of one recording without re-shooting, and the shortshort studio does exactly that and nothing wider: one file in, separate 9:16 shorts out. This is the same product as every other page on this site; it is not a content calendar, and it does not write blog posts or threads.

Video repurposing tool: the short answer
shortshort repurposes a webinar, episode or talk into 9:16 shorts at 1 credit per minute: 3 per video on Free, 20 on the Studio plan, each a captioned MP4.
Example with shortshort: a 66-minute panel discussion becomes 10 shorts of about 50 seconds, for 66 credits on the Creator plan.

Why the studio fits this job
The rules of the studio that matter most here.
Each short is a different moment
The shorts the AI proposes together never reuse a passage, and every short gets its own title and its own edit.
Saved shorts stay together
Shorts from one source share the file and are grouped in the library, so the video you repurposed in March is still one entry with its clips.
What the studio does to the video
An illustration of the rule at work; the community below shows the real thing.
Cut at the target
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
Cut at the sentence
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. ✂ on the full stop
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.
How to do it
Four steps. About two minutes of your time; the processing itself runs on our servers and depends on the length of the video.
- 01Pick the recording to repurpose, up to 2 GB, and upload it as MP4, MOV or WebM
- 02Choose the number of shorts your plan allows (3 on the Free plan, 5 on Starter, 10 on Creator, 20 on the Studio plan) and a target length
- 03Go through the proposals, keep the ones that stand alone, tweak bounds and captions
- 04Download each MP4 as you post it; they stay grouped under the source in your library
What this page does not promise
What the search term usually implies, and the studio does not do.
No text outputs: no blog post, newsletter, thread or summary is generated from the transcript, only video shorts.
No analytics, and no publishing beyond YouTube: shorts are scheduled there from the Publish page, TikTok publishing is in early access, and everywhere else posting is done by you from the MP4.

Questions people ask
What formats come out?
MP4, H.264 at 30 fps, one file per short: 9:16 at 1080 x 1920 by default, or 4:5 at 1080 x 1350 for the Instagram feed, chosen at export for the whole series. There is no horizontal or square variant and no audiogram; every plan can also export a JSON edit plan for rendering on your own server.
How many posts can one hour of video become?
Up to 20 shorts on the Studio plan, 10 on Creator and 5 on Starter, each a distinct passage aimed at 15 to 90 seconds. The hour costs 60 credits in every case, so it takes a paid plan: the 30 credits of a new Free account cover a video of up to 30 minutes, which yields up to 3 shorts.
Can my team share the account?
There are no seats or team workspaces. One account holds the library, each short is downloaded as a separate MP4, and that file is what gets handed to the person who posts it.
Can I render the shorts in my own pipeline?
Yes, on every plan: the studio exports the edit plan of the open short as a JSON file for your own renderer. The Studio plan adds a download of the checked plan of every saved short.
Does it repurpose audio-only files?
No. The input has to be a video file in MP4, MOV or WebM. For audio, export a video with a static image first, and the transcript and captions will be produced from it.
Is this a separate repurposing product from shortshort?
No. It is the shortshort studio. Every page under /tools describes the same software, with the wording of the search term people use to find it.
A 66-minute panel discussion on Creator, 10 shorts, one upload.
Free to try with 30 credits. 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.
