How do I make Shorts from a long video?

Paste a YouTube link or upload a file. TryClip finds the best moments, reframes them to 9:16, adds captions, and gives each clip a viral score. Keep the ones you like and download them.

Are the clips vertical?

Yes. TryClip reframes to 9:16 and tracks the speaker so they stay in frame, the native Shorts format. You can adjust the crop if you want a different framing.

Can captions be in my language?

Yes. TryClip captions in dozens of languages and can translate them too, so your Shorts reach the audience you want.

What is the viral score?

It is a 0 to 100 rating on each clip, with the reason behind it, so you can publish the strongest Shorts first instead of guessing.

What do I get to download?

Vertical 9:16 clips with the captions burned in. On paid plans there is no watermark.

Use cases

How TryClip fits different creators

Concrete scenarios that show how creators, podcasters, and agencies use TryClip day-to-day. Yours might look like one of these.

A solo creator

Turns a 90-minute podcast into a week of Reels in one sitting. Pastes the YouTube link, lets TryClip find the moments, and posts the highest viral scores to TikTok and Shorts while she records the next episode.

An agency owner

Runs each client in its own project, with reviewers per client and a saved caption style. The team pulls clips from one place, and approvals move from email exports to inline comments next to each cut.

A course creator

Slices a two-hour webinar into short teasers that point back to the full lesson. Each clip gets a 9:16 reframe so the speaker stays centered without re-editing the source video.

A freelance video editor

Used to scrub timelines by hand for the best moments. Now TryClip surfaces the candidates with a viral score, and he spends his time on the recut instead of the hunt.

A podcaster going multilingual

Generates captions in a few languages from one English episode, so the same clip reaches viewers who'd scroll past audio they can't follow. The animated captions keep watch time up with the sound off.

A marketing team

Feeds every founder interview and live stream into TryClip, then drops the best clips into the content calendar. What used to be a manual editing queue is now a batch the social lead reviews in one pass.
