Smart Shorts
Your long-form videos are already full of Shorts. Splicora finds them, cuts them to 9:16 with captions, lets you tweak the first frame and the title, and publishes them to YouTube on a schedule — without opening a video editor.

What you get
Shorts are trimmed to the under-60-second range that YouTube rewards, cropped to 9:16 with the speaker tracked in frame.
Word-accurate animated subtitles in any of 100 styles, burned in, so the Short works with the sound off.
Connect your channel once. Schedule Shorts from the calendar with a title and description and Splicora posts them for you.
The same clip is one click from TikTok, Reels and Bluesky, with per-platform captions and hashtags.
How it works
Or upload the raw recording before it is even on YouTube. Splicora fetches the transcript and analyses the whole video.
Each candidate shows a start time, a preview and a virality score. Keep the ones you like or run Auto-Generate for a batch.
Add a hook line, pick a caption preset, choose the thumbnail frame. That is where a Short is won or lost.
Set a date and time, write the title, and Splicora publishes the Short to YouTube — and to TikTok and Reels if you want.
YouTube Shorts are not just "a TikTok on YouTube". They sit next to your long-form videos, they feed the same channel, and a good Short sends viewers back to the full upload it came from. That makes them the cheapest subscriber growth most channels will ever get: the footage already exists, and the algorithm is actively looking for vertical content to recommend.
The blocker is production. Cutting a 20-minute video into six Shorts by hand — finding the moment, cropping to vertical, captioning, exporting, uploading, titling — takes most creators longer than the original edit. Splicora collapses that to a few minutes, and the AI clip generator does the finding.
Splicora is opinionated about this, because the data is fairly clear:
A typical week looks like this: upload Monday's long video, accept six suggested Shorts, tweak two of them in the editor, and schedule one per day through the content calendar. The Shorts go out with their own titles, the long-form link in the description, and the same clips cross-posted to TikTok and Instagram with platform-specific captions. That is a week of daily posting from one afternoon of work.
If your channel is faceless, the faceless video generator produces Shorts from a script and a voice instead of a recording.
FAQ
Yes. Connect your YouTube account under Connections and schedule Shorts from the calendar. Splicora publishes them at the chosen time with the title and description you set.
