use case one recording
one recording. a week of posts.
Upload one long video and choose the output — a batch of reviewed vertical clips, or a Tightened cut with the dead air, rambling, and filler removed. Either way, you approve before anything becomes an MP4.
Guest jobs share a weekly cap per network; if this network hits it, sign in or try again later from a different connection.

the process
how it works
1. Upload once
Upload the recording file — a podcast episode, webinar, stream, or lecture you have the rights to. File upload is the reliable path; a supported public non-YouTube URL can also be tried on a best-effort basis.
2. Pick your output
Clip mode returns a batch of reviewed vertical moments, each with its reason. Tighten mode returns the full recording with dead air, rambling, and filler cut — same source, two different distribution assets.
3. Approve and distribute
Review everything on the job page — titles, transcripts, playback, reasons. Shorts download as vertical 9:16 MP4s with captions burned in; a Tightened cut keeps the source aspect. Nothing publishes itself.
two outputs, one upload
Repurposing is not only Shorts. The same recording can come back as a clip batch for the feed or a Tightened cut for the people who watch long — you pick per job, per audience.
the calendar math
One recording becomes several posts: a clip batch spreads across the week, a Tightened cut serves the long-form slot. Recording time stays constant; output volume stops being the bottleneck.
the honest limits
The free plan covers 4 hours of source video a week, no card — a long episode spends most of it. Free exports carry a watermark; paid plans raise the quota and remove it. URL import is best-effort for non-YouTube sources.

What's the difference between clips and Tighten?
Clips pulls reviewed short moments as vertical 9:16 MP4s with captions. Tighten returns the full recording at source aspect with dead air, rambling, and filler removed — one upload, two possible assets.
Where can the clips go?
Anywhere vertical MP4s are accepted — download and post wherever you publish short-form. Signed-in creators can also upload reviewed clips to YouTube directly; Direct YouTube upload is available to signed-in creators; Public or Unlisted visibility stays gated until Google restores this app's YouTube API upload-audit status.
How long can the source video be?
As long as your weekly source hours allow — the free plan covers 4 hours of source video a week, and paid plans raise it. Exact quotas for your workspace live in Settings.
Do I approve everything?
Yes — every clip and every Tightened cut waits for your review on the job page. Nothing is published or downloaded without your call.
Is it free?
Yes: 4 hours of source video a week, no card required. Guests share a lighter weekly job cap per network; free exports carry a watermark and paid plans remove it.
