CaptureCuts: YouTube Shorts Auto-Generator
Automatically converts long-form YouTube videos into optimized vertical Shorts by detecting scene changes, captions, and engagement peaks, saving creators 10+ hours per video.
The Problem
YouTubers spend 5-15 hours manually editing long-form content into Shorts clips, rewatching footage to find good moments, adding captions, and resizing for vertical format. Most existing tools require manual clip selection or produce low-engagement generic cuts that don't match the creator's actual best moments.
Target Audience
YouTube content creators (1M+ subscribers), video producers managing multiple channels, and digital agencies creating content for clients.
Why Now?
YouTube Shorts now generates more revenue per view than long-form for many creators, but the tooling hasn't caught up. Creators are desperate for automation that doesn't feel generic or require manual intervention.
What's Missing
Existing tools either require manual clip selection (defeating the purpose) or use generic heuristics (jump cuts, silence) that miss contextual 'good moments.' No tool combines video understanding + caption optimization + engagement scoring in one step.
