ClipAtelier

AI Shorts generator

An AI Shorts generator that ranks moments before you edit

An AI Shorts generator should do more than chop a video into equal slices. ClipAtelier proposes finished Shorts: it finds the moments, reframes to 9:16, burns word-timed captions and drafts titles so your job is review, not timeline editing.

For YouTube sources it prefers Most Replayed peaks. Without a heatmap it scores the transcript for hooks and payoffs. Either way you get a ranked list instead of a random cut list.

How it works

  1. 01

    Paste a link

    Drop a YouTube URL into the studio, or upload an MP4, MOV or MKV file on a paid plan. Nothing to install.

  2. 02

    AI finds and cuts

    We transcribe the video, pick the strongest moments, reframe them to 9:16 and burn in word-timed captions.

  3. 03

    Review and post

    Preview every clip, choose a title, then download the MP4 or publish and schedule straight to YouTube Shorts and TikTok.

AI Shorts generator vs a normal video editor

A normal editor gives you a blank timeline. An AI Shorts generator proposes candidates. That difference matters when you ship every week: you are choosing among ranked clips, not hunting for the first cut.

ClipAtelier still leaves you in control — nothing posts until you approve — but the default output is already vertical, captioned and titled.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is this the same as auto equal-split?

    No. Equal split cuts a video into back-to-back parts of a chosen length. The AI Shorts path ranks moments for hooks and payoffs. Use equal split for series; use AI ranking for highlights.

  • How many Shorts do I get per video?

    It depends on the source. A dense podcast may return more candidates than a short tutorial. You always review and keep only what you want.

  • Can I clip any YouTube video?

    No. Only clip videos you own or have permission to use — for example your own uploads, creators who allow clipping (clipping programs), or licensed content. You confirm this when you create an account, and you are responsible for the clips you post.

  • Is it free?

    You can create a free account with no card and look around the studio. Creating clips is on a paid plan, and you can try it for 3 days for $1. Exports have no watermark.

Your next Short is already inside your last video.

No card to look around. Clips start on a paid plan.
