What problem does it solve?

Long-form videos from podcasts, vlogs, tutorials, and streams are difficult to repurpose quickly for platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Autocut Shorts automates the end-to-end workflow: downloading or ingesting the source video, transcribing audio, detecting highlights using transcript, laughter, sentiment, and scenes, trimming segments, resizing to 9:16, and adding subtitles for publish-ready clips.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end automation: from source video to publish-ready 9:16 clips.
  • Multi-backend support: transcription and diarization options (Whisper, Gemini, Google, OpenAI; pyannote or Gemini for diarization).
  • Rich highlight detection: combines signals to score and select viral moments.
  • Platform-ready outputs: multiple clips with subtitles and metadata for editorial workflows.

Quick Start

Provide a long video file or URL and run the autocut script to generate multiple 9:16 clips ready for publication.
