Shorts pulled out of YouTube uploads
2short.ai points at a YouTube video, finds the moments worth cutting, and exports them vertical with face tracking and animated captions. Every plan carries the whole feature set and they differ only in how many hours of video the AI will read a month, which is a pricing shape that suits someone testing the idea. The free tier is thirty minutes of analysis, enough to judge whether the clips it picks are the ones you would have picked.
Our note
The free tier is the reason to start here rather than at Klap or OpusClip: thirty minutes is enough to see which moments the model picks before any money changes hands. If it picks well for your material, the paid tiers are among the cheapest in this category.

One long video into captioned vertical clips
OpusClip picks moments from a long recording, reframes them vertically and adds captions. The selections are decent rather than inspired, so treat the output as a first pass. It saves hours on a weekly show.
Our note
Worth it if you publish a long show weekly and nothing else. The selections are a decent first pass rather than good taste, so budget time to throw half of them away, and do not let it post straight to a channel unattended.
