The fastest way to grow on YouTube Shorts
You're already making long-form videos. Short.now turns them into Shorts automatically — so one upload becomes a full week of content without a second editing session.
Built for the way you create
No extra recording required
Every long video you already publish is a content mine. Short.now finds the clips inside your existing videos — so you grow on Shorts without recording a single extra minute.
Shorts-optimized clips
Short.now understands the patterns that make Shorts perform: strong hooks in the first 2 seconds, self-contained narratives, animated captions for sound-off viewing. Every clip is formatted for Shorts from the ground up.
Consistent posting cadence
Shorts' algorithm rewards creators who post 3–5 times per week. One long video gives you enough clip material for a week of Shorts — so you hit that cadence without burning out.
Grow a new audience
Shorts reach a different section of YouTube's algorithm than long-form. Creators who repurpose consistently grow their subscriber count 3–5x faster than those who only post in one format.
Common workflows
Tutorial and educational channels
Tutorial content produces excellent Shorts — specific tips and techniques stand alone perfectly in 30–60 seconds. Each step in a tutorial can become its own Short.
Commentary and opinion videos
Strong takes, reaction moments, and counterintuitive points are exactly what drives Shorts engagement. The AI is tuned to find these moments in opinion and commentary content.
Interview and conversation channels
Every interview is a source of 8–12 shareable moments. Short.now surfaces the highlights automatically so you don't have to rewatch the whole conversation.

Common questions
No — in fact, the data shows the opposite. Shorts that preview long-form content drive viewers to the full video. Many creators see an increase in long-form watch time after they start posting Shorts from the same content.
A typical 20-minute YouTube video produces 3–6 strong Short candidates. A 60-minute video or interview usually yields 8–15. You choose which to post — most YouTubers publish 4–5 per video.
Both work, but repurposed clips are more efficient because you're already producing the source material. Top YouTube channels use a mix: 70–80% repurposed clips, 20–30% original Shorts content.
Short.now can publish directly to your YouTube channel via the connected account. You can also download the finished Shorts and upload manually if you prefer.
