Finds the moments
It reads the whole transcript and picks the parts that stand on their own, each with a hook and a title.
Turn long videos into YouTube Shorts
One long video becomes a batch of vertical Shorts with word-by-word captions, the speaker kept in frame, and titles and descriptions written for YouTube.
How the YT-Clipper YouTube Shorts maker works
Cuts, frames and captions
Every clip is cut to 9:16, keeps the speaker's face in frame and captions each word as it's said.
Writes and schedules posts
A post for each platform, then your approved clips posted automatically through your own Buffer account — spread over the days and times you pick. We never see your passwords.
Questions about the YouTube Shorts maker
How do I turn a YouTube video into Shorts?
Paste the link or upload the file. YT-Clipper transcribes it, picks the moments that stand on their own, and renders each as a 9:16 Short with captions.
Are the captions accurate?
Captions come word by word from the video's transcript, never made up. You get the caption file too, in the download.
Can I post the Shorts straight to YouTube?
Yes. Connect your YouTube channel in Buffer, then post a Short now or schedule a whole month of them on the calendar.
Is my original video stored?
No. Your original video is deleted as soon as processing is done. Clips stay available for 30 days.
