For YouTube creators
The YouTube video to Shorts converter that knows why a moment works.
Your long-form video took days. Cutting Shorts from it shouldn't take another one — and guessing which moment to clip shouldn't be a coin flip. ViralCut Pro converts YouTube videos into vertical clips by scoring every candidate hook, explaining the pick with the exact quote, and reframing your 16:9 footage scene by scene. You get Shorts that hold attention, plus the reasoning to learn from.
Where it fits
Every upload feeds your Shorts shelf
Publish your main video, paste its link into ViralCut, and ship three or four Shorts from it over the following days — each one pointing new viewers back to the full video.
Course makers repurposing lessons
Pull the sharpest 40 seconds from a lesson or webinar as a vertical clip. It works as a free-sample ad for the paid content, with captions doing the heavy lifting on mute.
Testing hooks before committing
The AI scores every candidate moment and shows the transcript quote behind it. Post the top two as Shorts, see which retains, and learn what your audience actually stops for.
FAQ
Converting long-form into Shorts, answered.
How do I convert a YouTube video into Shorts?
Paste the video URL into ViralCut Pro. The AI analyzes the full video, surfaces the most watchable moments with virality scores and reasoning, and exports them as vertical 9:16 clips with captions — ready to upload as Shorts, TikToks, or Reels.
Will a 16:9 video look right as a vertical short?
Yes. The smart crop converts 16:9 to 9:16 per scene and tracks the people on screen, so the frame follows the subject through cuts instead of blindly cropping the center of the widescreen shot.
Can I edit what the AI picks?
Always. Hooks are suggestions, not final cuts: you choose which ones to keep, trim their edges, restyle the captions with a live preview, and set the transitions. Nothing exports until it looks the way you want.
Does this work for course videos and webinars too?
Yes. Any long-form talking video works — tutorials, course lessons, webinars, livestream VODs. The AI looks for self-contained, high-retention moments regardless of format.
