Turn your video into YouTube Shorts.
Upload the long video once. ClipHit transcribes the whole recording, finds the strongest moments and cuts them vertical with animated captions, ready to post to the same channel where the original video lives.
How do you turn a video into YouTube Shorts?
Turning a video into YouTube Shorts with ClipHit takes four steps: upload the file, the AI transcribes the whole recording and finds the strongest moments, cuts each one vertical with word-by-word burned-in captions, and you edit and export. The result uploads straight to your channel, no re-recording needed.
- 01
Upload the file
MP4, MOV, WebM and AVI, or audio on its own in MP3, M4A, WAV and AAC. What counts is the minutes on your plan, not the length of the file.
- 02
It gets transcribed in full
The AI reads the whole video, not just the first few minutes, to find the strongest moments from start to finish.
- 03
The Shorts get cut
Each moment is cropped to vertical 9:16 with word-by-word animated captions, built to be read with the sound off.
- 04
You edit and export
Adjust the cut by clicking on the transcript, not a timeline, and download the video ready to upload.
Captions burned in, nothing else to edit.
Every Short arrives with captions already in place, word by word, and the rest of the moments from the same video waiting beside it for you to pick from.
9:160:42Reads with the sound off
Most Shorts get watched in-feed with the sound muted. The captions are burned into the video, word by word, so the message lands either way.
Reads the whole video, not a summary
The AI goes through the full transcript to find the strongest moments, not just the first five minutes a rushed editor would default to.
Edited on the text, not a timeline
To adjust where a clip starts or ends, you click the word in the transcript where you want the cut. Nothing to drag.
Shorts aren't the only piece that comes out of the video.
The same vertical cut works for Reels and TikTok with no extra export, and the same video also gives you the blog post, the carousel, the chapters, and the LinkedIn and X posts.

Before it was a company, ClipHit was how we solved our own problem: a channel and a podcast with more recordings than time to edit them. Who is behind it
