AI shorts generator for long videos

Turn one long video into a batch of short clips. WurifyPeak's AI finds the strongest moments in your podcast, interview, webinar or stream, reframes them to 9:16, adds captions, and gives you an editor to review every cut — so you generate real shorts from your own footage, not AI guesses.

What you get

  • Ranked clip candidates from the full timeline.
  • 9:16 vertical reframing, face-aware.
  • Word-level captions in the safe area.
  • Editor control before every export.

From long-form to a feed of shorts

Posting short-form consistently is hard when every clip is a manual edit. An AI shorts generator removes the slow part: instead of scrubbing a long recording to find the good bits and reframing them by hand, you get vertical drafts you can finish in minutes. WurifyPeak is built around your real content — it's a clipper that repurposes long videos into short clips, so the shorts are genuinely yours.

How to generate shorts with AI

  1. Add your video. Paste a YouTube link or upload a file — podcast, webinar, interview or stream.
  2. Let AI find the moments. The timeline is scored and the best candidates are surfaced as vertical drafts.
  3. Review and refine. Trim, fix the 9:16 crop, edit captions and the title in the editor.
  4. Export your shorts. Download 9:16 clips ready for Shorts, TikTok and Reels.

Who uses it

  • Podcasters turning each episode into a week of shorts.
  • YouTubers & educators repurposing long uploads into Shorts.
  • Streamers pulling highlights from VODs into vertical clips.
  • Social teams & agencies producing volume from webinars and interviews.

Clip-based vs. text-to-video shorts generators

"Short generator" covers two different tools. Text-to-video generators create synthetic footage from a prompt — good for faceless videos. WurifyPeak is a clip-based generator: it turns the long videos you already record into shorts. If you want short-form that features you and keeps you in control of the final cut, a clipper is the right tool.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI shorts generator?

An AI shorts generator analyses a long video and produces short, vertical clips ready for Shorts, TikTok and Reels. WurifyPeak is a clip-based generator: it works from your real footage — podcast, interview, webinar or stream — finding the strongest moments instead of inventing synthetic video from a prompt.

How does it choose which moments to clip?

It scores the whole timeline for clip potential — strong hooks, complete thoughts and high-retention segments — and ranks the candidates so you start from the best moments instead of scrubbing the entire video.

Do the shorts come with captions and vertical framing?

Yes. Every short is reframed to 9:16 with face-aware cropping and comes with word-level auto captions in the safe area. Both are fully editable before export.

Can I edit the generated shorts?

Always. WurifyPeak hands you an editor, not a black box: adjust the in/out points, fix the crop, correct captions and change the title before you export. You decide what ships.

Is the AI shorts generator free?

Yes — the Free plan generates shorts with a watermark so you can test the moment detection and editor on your own video. Paid plans remove the watermark and add storage, faster queue and higher throughput.

How is this different from text-to-video short generators?

Text-to-video tools generate brand-new footage from a prompt (faceless videos). WurifyPeak is a clipper: it repurposes content you already recorded, so the shorts actually feature you, your guests and your brand.
