Video Shorts Converter: Turn Long Videos into Social Media Gold

Working with content creators and small businesses, I’ve seen the same problem everywhere: you create great long-form content (webinars, tutorials, interviews), but turning them into short social media clips takes forever. Manual editing can cost $50-100 per video, while automated tools are either too expensive or produce terrible results.

This AI-powered converter solves that problem by automatically finding the best moments in your videos and creating ready-to-post shorts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

The Content Creator’s Dilemma

The Reality:

  • A 1-hour webinar could create 10+ valuable short clips
  • Manual editing takes 3-5 hours per short video
  • Professional video editors charge $50-100 per clip
  • Cheap tools create awkward crops and miss the best moments
  • Most creators just give up on repurposing content

The Opportunity: One long-form video can feed your social media for weeks - if you can efficiently extract the valuable moments without breaking the bank.

What This Tool Actually Does

Smart Content Detection:

  • Upload your video (webinar, tutorial, podcast, interview)
  • AI analyzes the audio and finds the most engaging moments
  • Automatically identifies key quotes, emotional peaks, and valuable insights
  • No manual scrubbing through hours of footage

Perfect Social Media Formatting:

  • Smart Cropping: Keeps speakers centered even when they move around
  • Platform Optimization: Creates 9:16 for TikTok/Reels, 1:1 for Instagram posts, 16:9 for YouTube
  • Auto Subtitles: Generates accurate captions that you can edit and style
  • Branding Ready: Add your logo and colors to maintain brand consistency

Batch Processing Power:

  • Process one video, get multiple shorts automatically
  • Download all clips at once or preview and pick your favorites
  • Each clip is ready to post - no additional editing needed
  • Generate a week’s worth of content in 10 minutes

Built for Real Creators:

  • Works with any video format or quality
  • No expensive monthly subscriptions
  • Fast processing even on longer videos
  • Simple interface that anyone can use
