YouTube to Shorts, automatically
The fastest source of Shorts is a long YouTube video you already published. FrameOS takes the link and turns the watch-time into a batch of vertical clips worth posting.
Start from a link, not a download
Drop in the YouTube URL and FrameOS works from there — no exporting the master file first. It studies the whole video for self-contained moments and ranks them so you post the strongest.
Reframed to 9:16 the right way
A landscape YouTube video doesn't fit the Shorts shelf. FrameOS reframes to vertical by following the speaker, so the subject stays in frame instead of getting cropped out of a centered strip.
Captioned and ready to publish back
Each Short comes captioned word-by-word for muted autoplay, and you can send the finished clip straight back to YouTube Shorts without a download-and-reupload detour.
Turn one upload into many Shorts
A single long video usually holds several Shorts. Converting them in one pass turns each upload into a week of vertical posts off the same recording.
YouTube-to-Shorts workflow
- Convert from a YouTube link, no manual download.
- Reframe landscape to vertical 9:16.
- Word-by-word captions for muted feeds.
- Publish back to Shorts from inside FrameOS.
FAQ
How do I turn a YouTube video into Shorts?
Paste the YouTube link into FrameOS. It finds clip-worthy moments, reframes them to vertical, and captions them as Shorts you can review and publish.
Do I need to download the video first?
No. FrameOS works from the link, and you can publish finished Shorts straight back to your YouTube channel.
How many Shorts can one video produce?
It depends on the source, but a long, spoken video usually holds several standalone moments worth posting as Shorts.
