AI Repurposing Tool

Long Video to Short Video

Q: What length videos can I repurpose?

Free plan: up to 10 minutes. Starter plan: up to 33 minutes. Pro plan: up to 3 hours. The AI adapts its analysis strategy based on video length for optimal results.

Q: What types of long-form content work best?

Podcasts, interviews, webinars, tutorials, vlogs, and lectures produce the best results. Any content with spoken dialogue where the AI can analyze the transcript for engaging moments.

Q: How many short clips can I get from a long video?

Typically 5-20 clips depending on video length and content density. A 1-hour podcast might yield 10-15 quality clips, each scored for viral potential.

Q: Does the AI understand different content types?

Yes. You can provide a natural language prompt to guide the AI — for example, "find the funniest moments" or "extract key takeaways." The AI adapts its highlight detection accordingly.

Repurpose your long-form content into bite-sized clips that perform on social media. Shortzly's AI handles the full pipeline — from finding highlights to rendering polished, captioned shorts.
