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.

Clips cut from streams and long video
Spikes Studio finds the moments worth posting in a long recording and cuts them into vertical clips with captions burned on. Plans are metered in minutes of source video a year rather than in clips, so a weekly four-hour stream is the thing to measure before choosing a tier. Free output carries a watermark and stops at 720p, which makes the free plan a demo rather than a workflow.
Our note
Measure your weekly recording hours against the annual minute allowance before picking a tier, because 3,600 minutes a year is only about an hour a week. The watermark makes the free plan a demonstration rather than something to publish from.
