Smart Split Video
Smart split means the cut lands where the content changes, not at an arbitrary timestamp. Shortzly reads your video transcript and splits it at topic changes, scene or speaker changes, and pauses, so every part has a coherent start and end.

Why Creators Choose Shortzly
Smart split, not equal split
Equal splitting cuts every few minutes no matter what is being said. Smart split reads the transcript and places each cut where a topic ends, a scene or speaker changes, or the speaker pauses.
Three smart split strategies
Choose topic-based splitting (follows the subject of the conversation), scene-based splitting (follows scene, location and speaker changes as they appear in the transcript), or pause-based splitting (splits at natural pauses in speech). One strategy per video.
Review before you split
Preview every detected split point with a timestamp and description before committing. Remove the ones you don't want and trim the rest in the editor.
Everything You Need to Create Shorts
Topic-Based Smart Split
AI detects when the speaker changes subject and places the cut at that boundary, so each part covers one coherent topic.
Scene-Based Smart Split
Splits where the transcript shows a scene, location or speaker change, so each part is one continuous scene.
Pause-Based Smart Split
Finds natural pauses in speech and cuts at those breathing points, so no part starts mid-sentence.
Simple Cut Mode
Fast stream-copy splitting at the smart split points. No re-encoding, so the original quality is preserved and output is instant.
Full Render Mode
Optionally apply face tracking, captions and branding to each part. Turn every smart split segment into a polished, ready-to-post clip.
Adjustable Split Points
Review all AI-detected split points before processing. Remove any you don't want and trim start and end times in the editor.
