Why short-form matters

  • Multiply reach: publish multiple clips per week without re-filming.
  • Repurpose content: podcasts, tutorials, webinars, interviews…
  • Platform-ready: 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, or 16:9 reframed.

What Clipilote does for Shorts

  • Auto highlight detection: silences, energy peaks, punchlines, chapters.
  • Dynamic captions: UPPERCASE, outline, background, emojis, karaoke effect.
  • Smart reframing (auto face/subject tracking).
  • Ready-made templates: meme bars, progress bars, headlines, watermarks.
  • Editable timeline: cut, move, merge, speed up/down.
  • Audio tools: normalization, music ducking, bleep on swear words (optional).
  • Exports: presets for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Reels (FPS, bitrate, codec).

3-step workflow

  1. Upload your long video (or paste a link).
  2. AI suggests 5–10 clips (30–60s each) with subtitles & hooks.
  3. Edit & export: adjust text/colors/cuts, then export in seconds.
