Recorded a video podcast? Make [podcast clips](https://exemplary.ai/ai-podcast-clips-generator) from it. ### Get titles and descriptions from AI Generate [video titles](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-video-title-generator) and descriptions from the same transcript. ### Make clips by hand, with auto framing Pick your own start and end points and let speaker framing position the shot. ### Download subtitles [Translate your subtitles](https://exemplary.ai/subtitle-translator) and download them as SRT, VTT or TXT. ### Clips ranked by virality score Each clip gets a score for how likely it is to do well, so you know which to post first. ## AI Clips FAQ Clip lengths, formats, languages and what the Free plan includes. ### How does AI Clips choose which moments to clip? It transcribes the video, then AI picks passages that make sense on their own, using the video category and any keywords you gave it. Each clip gets a virality score, an estimate of how likely it is to do well rather than a guarantee, and the clips are listed with the highest scores first. ### How long does my video have to be? At least 10 minutes. AI Clips refuses shorter videos, uploaded or linked, because clips cut from a shorter video are rarely good enough. ### How long are the clips? You pick a clip duration before processing: <30s, 30-45s, 45-60s, 60-90s, 90-3min, 3-5min or 5-10min; longer choices need a source of at least 15 minutes. After that you can trim or extend any clip in the editor, up to 10 minutes. ### Which aspect ratios can I export for Shorts, Reels and TikTok? 9:16 (portrait), 1:1 (square) and 16:9 (landscape). Use 9:16 for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok, 1:1 for square feeds, and 16:9 for regular YouTube or LinkedIn video. Switching ratio reframes the clip with a fill, fit or split layout. ### Can I make clips from a YouTube link? Yes. Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link instead of uploading a file. You can also upload MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, WEBM, MOV or MKV files. ### Which languages can the captions be in? Captions come from the transcript, which supports 99 languages. You can then translate the captions into 116 languages. ### Is AI Clips free? Yes, AI Clips is on the Free plan, with 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. AI tasks use credits; no fixed number of clips or minutes is implied. --- url: https://exemplary.ai/youtube-timestamp-generator title: "YouTube Timestamp Generator" description: "Generate YouTube timestamps from your video's transcript: up to 10 chapter start times with short titles to check and paste into the description." facts_as_of: 2026-10-14 publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # YouTube Timestamp Generator Get chapter timestamps for your YouTube video from its transcript, to check and paste into the description. Exemplary AI's YouTube timestamp generator transcribes your video, splits the transcript into sections of roughly equal length (about 1,000 tokens of transcript) and gives each one its start time and a short title, up to 10 chapters. YouTube turns a list into chapters when it starts at 00:00, has at least 3 timestamps in ascending order, and every chapter lasts at least 10 seconds, so check the list against those rules before you paste it into your description. ## How to generate YouTube timestamps 1. Upload the audio or video file, or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link, and pick the language it is spoken in. 2. In the AI content presets, open "YouTube Video" and select "Chapters". 3. When the list is ready, check that the first line starts at 00:00 (change it if the first section starts a few seconds in), that there are at least 3 lines, and that no chapter is shorter than 10 seconds. Then copy it. A short video has few sections, so add lines by hand if there are fewer than 3. 4. Paste the list into your video's description in YouTube Studio and save. ## What you get | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Output | Up to 10 lines, each a start time, a dash and a title of up to 7 words ("hh:mm:ss - Title") | | How it splits | Into sections of roughly equal length (about 1,000 tokens of transcript), not by time or topic; each chapter starts where its section starts | | Based on | The transcript, so chapters follow what is said in the video, not what is shown on screen. | | Languages | 99 languages for the transcript; translate the result into 116 languages | | Other YouTube presets | Summary, Titles, Chapters, Tweets, Blog, Keywords, Description, Q&A and LinkedIn Post | | Free plan | The Free plan includes 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Credits are used by the tasks you run, rather than a fixed number of generations. | Facts checked October 2026. ## YouTube's rules for chapters - The first timestamp must be 00:00. - List at least 3 timestamps, in ascending order. - Each chapter must be at least 10 seconds long. - Chapters you add in the description override the automatic chapters YouTube generates. Source: [Video Chapters - YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9884579), checked September 26, 2026. ## What YouTube timestamps look like Example format: illustrative, not output from a real video ```text 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:48 - What video chapters are 00:02:15 - Writing chapter titles 00:04:30 - Adding timestamps in YouTube Studio 00:06:05 - Recap ``` ## Chapters your viewers can jump between Timestamps in the description let viewers skip to the part they came for. The generator writes them from your transcript; check them against YouTube's rules, adjust any chapter start, and paste. ### Accurate to start with Speech is transcribed before anything else happens, so every export downstream inherits the same source of truth. ### Editable as text Correct a name or a term once in the transcript and it is right everywhere. Cutting a sentence cuts the matching video with it. ### Export in any format Subtitle files, burned-in captions, clips, chapters or written copy — all from the one transcript.

Paste the list into the video description, one timestamp per line with the chapter title after it, and save. YouTube reads the list and splits the video into chapters. ### Why are my YouTube chapters not showing? Check YouTube's three rules for the list: the first timestamp is 00:00, there are at least 3 timestamps in ascending order, and each chapter is at least 10 seconds long. A list that breaks any of them does not become chapters. Chapters are also unavailable if the channel has any active strikes, or if the content may be inappropriate to some viewers, and a channel without access to chapters has to apply for access to Advanced features (YouTube Help, "Video Chapters"). ### How does the generator decide where each chapter starts? It splits the timestamped transcript into sections of roughly equal length (about 1,000 tokens of transcript), measured in speech rather than time, so one section can span more minutes than the next; the last one is shorter. It takes each section's first timestamp as a chapter start and writes a short title for it, then condenses the list to at most 10 chapters. A chapter starts where a section starts, which is not always where the topic changes, so move any start time that falls mid-topic. ### Can I change the timestamps before I post them? Yes. Copy the list and edit it in YouTube Studio or any text editor before you publish. You can also regenerate it, or translate it into another language. ### What is the difference between timestamps and chapters? A timestamp is a time in the description, like 02:15, that viewers can click to jump to that moment. Chapters are the named sections YouTube builds from a list of timestamps that follows its chapter rules. Each chapter runs from its timestamp to the next one (the last to the end of the video), so the list gives every section a start and end time on the video's timeline. ### Which languages does the timestamp generator work in? The transcript can be in any of 99 languages, and the result is written in that language. You can then translate it into 116 languages. ### Is the YouTube timestamp generator free? The Free plan includes 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Credits are used by the tasks you run, rather than a fixed number of generations. ## Discover more AI Content - [Summary Generator](https://exemplary.ai/summarizer) - [YouTube Video Summary Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-video-summarizer) - [Video Chapter Generator](https://exemplary.ai/video-chapter-generator) - [Podcast Show Notes Generator](https://exemplary.ai/podcast-show-notes-generator) - [Lecture to Notes Generator](https://exemplary.ai/lecture-to-notes) - [YouTube to Notes Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-to-notes) - [YouTube Tags Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-tags-generator) - [YouTube to LinkedIn Post Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-to-linkedin-post) - [TikTok Caption Generator](https://exemplary.ai/tiktok-caption-generator) - [Chat with YouTube Video Generator](https://exemplary.ai/chat-with-youtube-video) - [Video Hook Generator](https://exemplary.ai/video-hook-generator) - [Emmy Generator](https://exemplary.ai/emmy) - [YouTube Description Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-description-generator) - [YouTube Video Title Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-video-title-generator) - [Hashtag Generator](https://exemplary.ai/hashtag-generator) - [Social Media Post Generator](https://exemplary.ai/social-media-post-generator) - [Blog Post Generator](https://exemplary.ai/blog-post-generator) - [Meeting Minutes Generator](https://exemplary.ai/meeting-minutes-generator) --- url: https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-maker title: "YouTube Shorts Maker" description: "Cut a long video or YouTube link into vertical 9:16 Shorts with animated captions.

Up to 3 minutes, for videos uploaded on or after October 15, 2024 (December 8, 2025 for Official Artist Channels), as long as the video is square or vertical (YouTube Help, "Understand three-minute YouTube Shorts"). ### What aspect ratio does a YouTube Short need? Vertical or square. Export your clip in portrait (9:16) or square (1:1). A landscape (16:9) video is not categorized as a Short. ### Can I turn a YouTube video into Shorts? Yes. Paste the YouTube link instead of uploading a file. The video has to be at least 10 minutes long for AI Clips to cut it into Shorts. ### Which clip length should I pick for Shorts? Pick "60-90s" or shorter if every clip must be a Short: "60-90s" aims at about 90 seconds, give or take a minute, so it stays well under 3 minutes. "90-3min" aims at about 3 minutes and can run longer, so trim anything over 3:00 on the timeline before you export. The "3-5min" and "5-10min" options are for longer clips and would not count as Shorts. ### Does the Shorts maker add captions? Yes. Captions come from the transcript, in 99 languages, and you can pick an animation style and correct any word before you export. ### Is the YouTube Shorts maker free? Yes. The Free plan includes 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. AI Clips and audiogram tasks use credits, so the amount you can create depends on the tasks you run. ### Can I make YouTube Shorts for free without a watermark? Not on Exemplary AI's Free plan: free exports carry a watermark, and a paid plan removes it. If you only need a Short from a video that is already on your channel, YouTube Studio's own Clips and Shorts tool is free; Method 1 of our YouTube Shorts guide walks through it. ## Discover more Clips & Shorts - [Video trimmer](https://exemplary.ai/video-trimmer) - [AI podcast clips generator](https://exemplary.ai/ai-podcast-clips-generator) - [Instagram reel maker](https://exemplary.ai/instagram-reel-maker) - [Resize videos](https://exemplary.ai/resize-videos) - [Auto video editor](https://exemplary.ai/auto-video-editor) - [Crop video](https://exemplary.ai/crop-video) - [Add image to video](https://exemplary.ai/add-image-to-video) - [Add text to video](https://exemplary.ai/add-text-to-video) - [Remove filler words](https://exemplary.ai/remove-filler-words) - [Add emoji to subtitle](https://exemplary.ai/add-emoji-to-subtitle) - [Silence remover](https://exemplary.ai/silence-remover) - [Add watermark to video](https://exemplary.ai/add-watermark-to-video) - [Add b-rolls](https://exemplary.ai/add-b-rolls) - [Word highlight in subtitle](https://exemplary.ai/word-highlight-in-subtitle) - [AI video editor](https://exemplary.ai/ai-video-editor) - [Long video to short video](https://exemplary.ai/long-video-to-short-video) - [Twitch clip maker](https://exemplary.ai/twitch-clip-maker) - [YouTube to TikTok](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-to-tiktok) - [Sermon clips](https://exemplary.ai/sermon-clips) - [Horizontal to vertical video](https://exemplary.ai/horizontal-to-vertical-video) - [Screen and webcam recorder](https://exemplary.ai/screen-and-webcam-recorder) - [Online screen recorder](https://exemplary.ai/online-screen-recorder) - [Kick clip maker](https://exemplary.ai/kick-clip-maker) - [Viral clip finder](https://exemplary.ai/viral-clip-finder) - [YouTube Shorts size](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-size) - [TikTok video size](https://exemplary.ai/tiktok-video-size) - [Instagram Reels size](https://exemplary.ai/instagram-reels-size) - [LinkedIn video specs](https://exemplary.ai/linkedin-video-specs) --- url: https://exemplary.ai/audio-waveform-generator title: "Audio Waveform & Sound Wave Generator" description: "Generate an animated audio waveform video: 10 wave styles (line, bars, circle and more), your colours and background, exported as MP4." facts_as_of: 2026-10-14 publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # Audio Waveform & Sound Wave Generator Turn audio into an animated waveform video with your colours, background and captions.

It lets you post audio on platforms that only take video. ### Which waveform styles can I choose? 10: line (top, middle or bottom), double line, multi-line, circle, hill, and bars (top, middle or bottom). ### Can I change the waveform colour and position? Yes. Set the wave colour, put it at the top, center or bottom of the frame, and choose a colour or image background. ### Can I add captions to a waveform video? Yes. Captions are transcribed from the audio, in any of 99 languages, and you can pick one of 5 animation styles. ### How long can a waveform video be? Up to 10 minutes per audiogram. AI Clips picks audiograms for you from recordings of 10 minutes or more; for any length, select part of the transcript and click "Create Audiogram". ### What format is the waveform video? An MP4 (H.264) file, in 9:16 (portrait), 1:1 (square) and 16:9 (landscape). ### Is the waveform generator free? Yes. The Free plan includes 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. AI Clips and audiogram tasks use credits, so the amount you can create depends on the tasks you run. ## Discover more Audiograms - [Sound wave generator](https://exemplary.ai/sound-wave-generator) - [Audiogram maker](https://exemplary.ai/audiogram-maker) - [Convert Audio to Video](https://exemplary.ai/audio-to-video) - [Music Visualizer](https://exemplary.ai/music-visualizer) --- url: https://exemplary.ai/music-visualizer title: "Music Visualizer: Animated Waveform Videos" description: "Make a music visualizer video: your track with an animated waveform over a colour or image background, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, as MP4." facts_as_of: 2026-10-14 publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # Music Visualizer: Animated Waveform Videos Put your track over an animated waveform and a background, and download a video you can post.

A video in which a graphic, such as a waveform or bars, moves with the music. Musicians use them to post a track on video platforms, where an audio file alone cannot go. ### Which visualizer styles are there? 10 waveform styles: line, double line, multi-line, circle, hill and bars, with the line and bar styles each available at the top, middle or bottom of the frame. You choose the colours. ### Does the music visualizer work with instrumental tracks? It is made for tracks with vocals. You choose the part to visualize by selecting its words in the transcript, and AI Clips picks its moments from the transcript too, so an instrumental track gives you little or nothing to select. ### Can I use my album art as the background? Yes. Upload an image up to 1 MB, or use a solid colour. ### How long can a music visualizer video be? Up to 10 minutes per video, so most single tracks fit in one. ### Which file formats does the music visualizer accept and export? It takes MP3, WAV and M4A audio and exports MP4 (H.264) video. There is no transparent-background or 4K export. ### Is the music visualizer free? Yes. The Free plan includes 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark.

Whatever presets you select. The Meetings presets are Summary, One Sentence Summary, Title, Chapters, Tweets, Email, Blog, Q&A, Notes and LinkedIn Post. Each one is generated from the transcript of the recording. ### Can the minutes list decisions and action items? Yes, with a custom prompt. There is no dedicated action-items preset, so write a prompt such as "List the decisions made and the action items, with the owner and due date where they were mentioned", and save it to reuse on every meeting. ### Which meeting recordings can I use? Upload an audio or video file (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, WEBM, MOV or MKV), or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link to a recording. ### How long can the meeting recording be?

AI reads the transcript, finds moments that stand on their own and scores each out of 100." facts_as_of: 2026-10-14 publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # Viral Clip Finder for Long Videos Paste a link or upload a long video. AI reads what is said, finds the moments that work on their own, and gives every clip a virality score so you know which to open first. Exemplary AI's viral clip finder reads the transcript of a long video, picks the stretches that make sense without the rest of it, and cuts each one into a captioned vertical 9:16 clip with a virality score out of 100. Sort by Highest score to open the strongest first. The score is the AI's read on how well a moment stands on its own, not a forecast of views. Free plan: 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. ## How to find the most clippable moments in a video 1. Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X link, or upload a MP4, MOV or WEBM file, and pick Create shorts. 2. In the Generate shorts dialog, choose how many clips you want. Clips aim at 30 seconds; for another length, pick a target in the Generate shorts dialog: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 seconds. 3. When the clips are ready, sort them by Highest score and open the top few. Read each moment in the transcript to check it makes sense on its own. 4. Correct any caption word, then download the MP4 (H.264) download and post it yourself. ## Viral clip finder at a glance | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | What it reads | The transcript: what is said in the video, not the picture or the music | | Score | A virality score out of 100 on every clip: how well the moment stands on its own | | Sorting | Newest, Highest score or Longest | | Sources | YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X links (single videos), or MP4, MOV or WEBM uploads | | Clip lengths | Targets of 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 seconds; 30 seconds unless you pick another | | Shapes | 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 or Original; Original keeps the source's own shape | | Free plan | 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark | Facts checked October 2026. ## What a virality score means, and what it does not The score comes from reading the transcript: a clip scores higher when its opening grabs attention and makes sense without anything earlier in the video, and when the moment is a complete thought, such as a story, a surprising fact or a strong opinion. Open a clip to read the one-line reason behind its score. It does not look at trends, at your channel or at past views, so treat it as an order to review clips in, and keep the final call on what fits your audience. Because it reads words, it finds moments people talk through: a story, a strong opinion, a punchline, an answer to a good question. A visual gag or a silent highlight with nobody speaking will not be picked, and a video with no speech at all cannot be clipped; the run stops without using credits. Want the whole process from one long video, framing and captions included? See [long video to short video](https://exemplary.ai/long-video-to-short-video), or [AI Clips](https://exemplary.ai/ai-clips) for everything the clip maker does. Everything else the same video can become is on [repurpose a video](https://exemplary.ai/repurpose). ## Moments Found in What Is Said AI reads the whole transcript, so the clips come from the parts of the video that work on their own. ### Moments that stand on their own Clips start and end on whole lines of the transcript, and the opening has to make sense without what came before, so a viewer who never saw the full video can follow it. ### A score on every clip Every clip gets a virality score out of 100 with a one-line reason, and the gallery sorts by Highest score, Newest or Longest. ### Captions included Each clip comes captioned from the transcript. All 26 styles, when you start a shorts project, in the Generate shorts dialog and in the editor; new clips start on Beast. ### Framing that follows the speaker The vertical crop follows the people on camera. Auto splits the frame when two people are on camera and keeps one pane when they are not, Split gives two people a pane each, and Speaker keeps one pane on whoever is talking. ## Finish the clip, then make it yours Choose a frame for your feed, give the words a style, and check the space around them. ### [Horizontal to vertical video](https://exemplary.ai/horizontal-to-vertical-video) Reframe a wide recording for a vertical feed.

[Check the layout](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-size) ## Common questions ### What is a viral clip finder? A tool that goes through a long video for you and pulls out the moments most likely to work as short clips. Exemplary AI does it from the transcript: it marks moments that make sense on their own, cuts them into vertical clips with captions and scores each one. ### How is the virality score worked out? AI reads the transcript of each moment and scores how well it stands on its own: a clear hook, a complete point, nothing missing from earlier in the video. It is shown out of 100. It is not a prediction of views, since it doesn't see trends or your channel's numbers. ### Will it find funny or visual moments where nobody talks? No. It finds moments in what is said, so a silent reaction, a visual gag or gameplay with no commentary won't be picked. You can still cut those yourself: select the words around the moment in the transcript and click Create clip. ### Which links can I paste? Single videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X. Playlists, channels and profiles are not supported; paste one video at a time, or upload the file. ### Can I choose how many clips I get and how long they are? Yes. The Generate shorts dialog asks how many clips you want and a target length. Clips aim at 30 seconds; for another length, pick a target in the Generate shorts dialog: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 seconds. A target is not a cap, so check a clip's length before you post it somewhere with a limit. ### Is the viral clip finder free? The Free plan includes 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Paid plans take longer videos and larger files. ## Discover more Clips & Shorts - [Video trimmer](https://exemplary.ai/video-trimmer) - [YouTube Shorts Maker](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-maker) - [AI podcast clips generator](https://exemplary.ai/ai-podcast-clips-generator) - [Instagram reel maker](https://exemplary.ai/instagram-reel-maker) - [Resize videos](https://exemplary.ai/resize-videos) - [Auto video editor](https://exemplary.ai/auto-video-editor) - [Crop video](https://exemplary.ai/crop-video) - [Add image to video](https://exemplary.ai/add-image-to-video) - [Add text to video](https://exemplary.ai/add-text-to-video) - [Remove filler words](https://exemplary.ai/remove-filler-words) - [Add emoji to subtitle](https://exemplary.ai/add-emoji-to-subtitle) - [Silence remover](https://exemplary.ai/silence-remover) - [Add watermark to video](https://exemplary.ai/add-watermark-to-video) - [Add b-rolls](https://exemplary.ai/add-b-rolls) - [Word highlight in subtitle](https://exemplary.ai/word-highlight-in-subtitle) - [AI video editor](https://exemplary.ai/ai-video-editor) - [Long video to short video](https://exemplary.ai/long-video-to-short-video) - [Twitch clip maker](https://exemplary.ai/twitch-clip-maker) - [YouTube to TikTok](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-to-tiktok) - [Sermon clips](https://exemplary.ai/sermon-clips) - [Horizontal to vertical video](https://exemplary.ai/horizontal-to-vertical-video) - [Screen and webcam recorder](https://exemplary.ai/screen-and-webcam-recorder) - [Online screen recorder](https://exemplary.ai/online-screen-recorder) - [Kick clip maker](https://exemplary.ai/kick-clip-maker) - [YouTube Shorts size](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-size) - [TikTok video size](https://exemplary.ai/tiktok-video-size) - [Instagram Reels size](https://exemplary.ai/instagram-reels-size) - [LinkedIn video specs](https://exemplary.ai/linkedin-video-specs) ## Make something worth watching Start with a recording, choose the moments to keep, and finish your clip with captions. --- url: https://exemplary.ai/long-video-to-short-video title: "Long Video to Short Video with AI" description: "Turn long videos into short clips: upload a webinar, podcast, livestream or class, and AI cuts captioned vertical clips for you to review and download." facts_as_of: 2026-10-14 publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # Long Video to Short Video with AI Upload a webinar, podcast, livestream or class recording. AI finds the moments that work on their own and turns each one into a short, captioned clip. To go from a long video to short video clips, upload the recording (a webinar, podcast, livestream or class) and let AI Clips do the cutting. It reads the transcript, picks passages that make sense without the rest, gives each a virality score, reframes it to 9:16 around the speaker and adds captions; you review, adjust and download. Free plan: 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. ## How to cut a long video into short clips 1. Upload the recording as MP4, MOV or WEBM, or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X link, then choose the spoken language and pick Create shorts. 2. Clips aim at 30 seconds; for another length, pick a target in the Generate shorts dialog: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 seconds. A short target suits a quick hook; a longer one keeps a whole answer or story together. 3. Go through the clips by virality score. Open one in the editor to trim it on the timeline, or delete words in the transcript to cut them from the video. 4. Download each clip as an MP4 (H.264) file and post it where your audience watches. ## Long video to short clips at a glance | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Works well on | Recordings where people talk: webinars, podcasts, livestreams with commentary, lectures, interviews and panels | | Clip length | Targets of 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 seconds; 30 seconds unless you pick another | | How moments are picked | From the transcript, each one scored for virality | | Shapes | 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 or Original; Original keeps the source's own shape | | Free plan limits | 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long | Facts checked October 2026. ## What to feed it, and what to expect AI Clips chooses moments from what is said, so it does well with talk: a webinar answer, a podcast exchange, a teacher explaining one idea. Footage with little speech, such as silent gameplay or scenic b-roll, gives it little to work with; cut those parts by hand. Our guide to [turning long videos into Shorts](https://exemplary.ai/blog/turn-long-videos-into-shorts) goes from choosing a source to measuring what you post. Podcasters can start from the [podcast clips generator](https://exemplary.ai/ai-podcast-clips-generator), which also handles audio-only episodes. If every clip is headed for YouTube, the [YouTube Shorts maker](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-maker) covers YouTube's length and shape rules. To get audiograms and written posts from the same video as well, see [repurpose one video into many](https://exemplary.ai/repurpose). ## An AI Short Video Maker for Long Recordings Upload once, get a batch of short clips back, and spend your time choosing instead of scrubbing through a timeline. ### Moments that stand alone AI looks for passages that make sense without the rest of the recording, so a viewer who never saw the full video can follow. ### A score to sort by Every clip gets a virality score, so you know which ones to review first. ### Vertical without losing the speaker The crop follows the person talking as a 16:9 recording becomes 9:16; for an interview or a two-person podcast, Split framing gives each speaker a pane. ### Trim by editing text Delete a word or a sentence in the transcript to cut it, and move a clip's start or end on the timeline. ## Finish the clip, then make it yours Choose a frame for your feed, give the words a style, and check the space around them. ### [Horizontal to vertical video](https://exemplary.ai/horizontal-to-vertical-video) Reframe a wide recording for a vertical feed.

Upload the recording and AI Clips picks the moments, cuts them, reframes them to vertical and captions them. You decide which clips to keep and can change any of them before downloading. ### What kinds of long videos make good short clips? Recordings where people talk: webinars, podcasts, livestreams with commentary, classes, interviews and panels. AI finds the moments in the transcript, so silent footage and music-only sections give it little to choose from. ### Can I choose the moments myself instead of using AI? Yes. Open the transcript, select the passage you want and click "Create clip", then pick its shape and caption style. ### How do I cut a long video into short clips for more than one platform? Pick the shape for where the clips are going: 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 4:5 or 1:1 for a feed post, 16:9 for YouTube. Each export is an MP4 (H.264) file that you upload to each platform yourself. ### What does the virality score on each clip mean? It is a rating AI gives each clip so you can sort them and review the most promising first. Treat it as a way to order your review, not a forecast of views. ### Is this AI short video maker free? You can start for free: the Free plan comes with 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark.

Upload a podcast episode for a podcast summary, or a lecture for study notes. For meetings, the [meeting minutes generator](https://exemplary.ai/meeting-minutes-generator) covers notes and a follow-up email, and for a podcast you publish, the [show notes generator](https://exemplary.ai/podcast-show-notes-generator) writes the episode description. To do it by hand instead, [summarizing a YouTube video with ChatGPT](https://exemplary.ai/blog/summary-of-a-youtube-video-using-chatgpt) walks through the prompts, and [getting the transcript of a YouTube video](https://exemplary.ai/blog/get-youtube-video-transcript) shows where YouTube keeps its own. ## Read the video before you watch it The YouTube summary is written by AI from what is said in the video, so you can see what it covers, and where, before you spend the time on it. ### Summary with key points A few paragraphs on what the video covers, followed by its key points, written from the transcript rather than the title or thumbnail. ### Chapters with timestamps The video's sections with their start times, so you can skip to the part you need on YouTube. ### Key takeaways Short takeaways in a bullet list, for notes, a study guide or a message to a colleague. ### Turn it into something new Write a [blog post](https://exemplary.ai/blog-post-generator), social posts or a newsletter from the same transcript, without pasting the link again. ## Make more from the ideas in your video Move between a concise summary, useful notes, and a post written for your audience. ### [YouTube to Notes Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-to-notes) Keep the key takeaways from a video in readable notes.

Paste the video's link into Exemplary AI, choose the spoken language and select Summary once the transcript is ready. The summary comes back as a document you can edit, copy or download. ### Is the YouTube video summarizer free? On the Free plan, yes: 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Transcribing the video and writing the summary both use credits from that allowance. ### Can I summarize a YouTube video with timestamps? Yes, with Chapters. The summary itself is prose without timestamps; select Chapters as well and you get the video's sections with their start times, to jump to each part on YouTube. ### Does it work on videos that don't have captions? Yes. It transcribes the video's audio itself, so it does not depend on YouTube's captions being turned on. ### How long a YouTube video can it summarize? The Free plan's limits are 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long. Paid plans take longer videos, and a longer video takes longer to transcribe. ### Can I summarize a podcast or a video that is not on YouTube? Yes. Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X link, or upload an audio or video file (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, MP4, MOV or WEBM). A podcast episode gets the same summary, chapters and takeaways. ### What is the difference between the summary and key takeaways? The summary is prose: a few paragraphs on what the video covers, with its key points.

Every answer cites the moment it came from, so you can jump there and check. Paste a YouTube link and Exemplary AI transcribes the video; then open Ask Emmy (⌘J) and ask what you want to know. Emmy answers from the transcript and cites the moment each answer came from: click a timestamp to jump there. It reads what is said, not what is on screen, and each message uses credits.

Paste the video's link into Exemplary AI (single videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X). The chat itself does not take links, so the video is imported and transcribed first. 2. When the transcript opens, click Ask Emmy or press ⌘J. 3. Ask a question, or start from a suggestion: Summarize this transcript, Pull out the most quotable moments, or Draft a LinkedIn post from this. 4. Click a timestamp in the answer to jump to that moment. Ask Emmy to draft a post from it, or to make a clip of it. ## Chat with a YouTube video at a glance | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Input | A single YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X link, imported first; the chat takes no links | | Answers from | The transcript: what is said, not the picture | | Citations | Each answer cites the moment it came from; click to jump there | | Open it | Ask Emmy, or ⌘J | | Beyond answers | Drafts posts and summaries, makes a clip from a moment, translates the transcript | | Credits | Each chat message uses credits | | Free plan | The Free plan includes 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark.

Because every answer cites its moment, you can check it in the video instead of trusting a summary. Emmy cannot see the picture. If something only appears on screen, such as a chart, a slide or a product shot, ask about what is said around it. For notes to keep, see [YouTube to notes](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-to-notes) or the [YouTube video summarizer](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-video-summarizer); for everything Emmy does, see [Emmy](https://exemplary.ai/emmy). ## Questions Answered from the Video The transcript is the source, and every answer points back to it. ### Answers with timestamps Each answer cites the moment it came from; click it and the video jumps there. ### Starts from the link Paste the YouTube link once; the video is transcribed, and the chat opens beside the transcript. ### More than answers Ask Emmy to draft a post or a summary from what you found, or to cut a clip of the moment. ### Transcript beside the chat The full transcript stays open next to the chat, so you can read around any answer. ## Make more from the ideas in your video Move between a concise summary, useful notes, and a post written for your audience. ### [YouTube Video Summary Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-video-summarizer) Get the main ideas and chapters from a YouTube video.

Paste the video's link into Exemplary AI; once it is transcribed, open Ask Emmy and ask your questions. Answers come from the transcript and cite the moment they came from. ### Can I paste a YouTube link straight into the chat? No. Import the video by its link first; the chat works on the transcript that opens. ### Does Emmy understand what is shown on screen? No. It reads the transcript, so it knows what is said, not what is shown. Ask about the words around a chart or a demo instead. ### How do I check where an answer came from? Every answer cites timestamps. Click one and the video jumps to that moment, with the line lit in the transcript. ### Does chatting with a video use credits? Yes, each chat message uses credits, on top of transcribing the video. ### Is chatting with a YouTube video free?

[Check your Shorts frame](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-size#tool-demo) [Make Shorts from a video](https://exemplary.ai/signup?from=%2Fdashboard%3Fcreate%3Dclips) The standard YouTube Shorts size is 1080 × 1920 px: a 9:16 vertical frame, the shape YouTube needs (square or vertical) for a video up to 3 minutes to count as a Short. Keep text and faces out of the top 380 px, the bottom 380 px and the right 120 px, where the Shorts player puts its own controls. To cut Shorts from a long video, Exemplary AI's free plan includes 200 one-time credits. ## How to size a video for YouTube Shorts 1. Set your project to 9:16, 1080 × 1920 px. 2. Download the overlay from the checker and put it on the top layer of your timeline. 3. Keep captions, faces and logos inside the dashed box (900 × 1160 px). 4. Keep the video to 3 minutes or less, export, and remove the overlay before you upload. ## YouTube Shorts dimensions at a glance | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Resolution | 1080 × 1920 px | | Aspect ratio | 9:16 vertical (square also counts as a Short) | | Length | Up to 3 minutes | | Keep clear: top | 380 px: the search and navigation controls at the top of the Shorts player | | Keep clear: bottom | 380 px: the title, channel name, Subscribe button, sound and progress bar | | Keep clear: right | 120 px: the like, dislike, comment, share and remix buttons | | Safe area | 900 × 1160 px | Facts checked October 2026. ## YouTube's definition of a Short - A video up to 3 minutes long with a square or vertical aspect ratio is categorized as a Short. - This applies to videos uploaded on or after October 15, 2024 (December 8, 2025 for Official Artist Channels). - A landscape (16:9) video does not meet that definition. Source: [Understand three-minute YouTube Shorts - YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877), checked September 26, 2026. ## Where the safe-zone numbers come from YouTube publishes the rule for what counts as a Short (the shape and the length) but not pixel margins for the player. The margins here are the ones creator guides measure from the Shorts player, and they are generous on purpose: the controls move a little between the app, the mobile site and different phones. Before you post, play the video in the YouTube app and check that nothing you care about sits under a button. Making Shorts from a longer video? The [YouTube Shorts maker](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-maker) turns a long video or a YouTube link into vertical clips with captions. If a TikTok version is next, the [TikTok video size guide](https://exemplary.ai/tiktok-video-size) has that app's margins. ## Shorts at the right size, without the guesswork Start from the frame YouTube expects and keep your words where viewers can read them. ### A free overlay to check against A 1080 × 1920 px transparent PNG with the covered margins hatched and the safe area outlined. Drop a frame of your own video into the checker first to see what would be hidden. ### Vertical clips from a long video Exemplary AI cuts a long video into clips in 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 and 4:5, with captions burned in, ready to upload as Shorts. ### Captions above the player controls Burned-in captions can sit at the top, center or bottom of the frame. Center keeps them clear of the title and channel name at the bottom. ## Build your next Short around the right frame Find a moment in a longer video, reframe it, and give its captions a clear visual style. ### [YouTube Shorts Maker](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-maker) Create captioned Shorts from a longer video.

[Preview styles](https://exemplary.ai/caption-styles) ## Common questions ### What size is a YouTube Short? 1080 × 1920 px pixels in a 9:16 vertical frame. YouTube also counts square videos as Shorts, as long as they are up to 3 minutes long. ### What is the YouTube Shorts safe zone? The part of the frame the Shorts player does not cover: about 900 × 1160 px once you leave the top 380 px, the bottom 380 px, the left 60 px and the right 120 px clear. YouTube does not publish exact margins, so check the video in the app before posting. ### Can I upload a 16:9 video as a Short? Not as a Short. YouTube only counts square or vertical videos as Shorts, so a landscape video needs reframing to 9:16 first. ### Where should captions go on a YouTube Short? Above the bottom 380 px, where the title, channel name and Subscribe button sit, and away from the button column on the right. The middle of the frame is the safest place. ### How do I use the safe zone overlay? Download the PNG, put it on the top track of your editor over your video, line up your text inside the dashed box, then turn the overlay off before you export. ### Can Exemplary AI make Shorts at this size for free? Yes.

A long caption or a sound label can reach higher, so if your caption runs past a couple of lines, keep your on-screen text higher still. Turning a YouTube video or a podcast into TikToks?

The 896 × 1306 px area that TikTok's interface leaves clear: 130 px from the top, 484 px from the bottom, 44 px from the left and 140 px from the right of a 1080 × 1920 px frame. ### Where do captions go on a TikTok? Above the bottom 484 px, where your username, caption and sound sit, and left of the button column. Text in the middle third of the screen stays readable. ### Can I post a horizontal video on TikTok? You can, but it plays small, with bars above and below. Reframing to 9:16 around the person speaking fills the screen instead. ### Does the safe zone change with a long caption? Yes. The caption grows upward, so a long caption covers more of the bottom of the video. Keep important text higher when you write long captions. ### Is there a free way to make TikTok-sized clips from a long video? Yes.

For editing talking-head videos and podcasts by editing the transcript, **Descript** is the strongest all-rounder. For a free desktop editor with pro-grade tools, **DaVinci Resolve** (free version; AI features in the paid Studio version). For professional timelines with generative AI, **Adobe Premiere** (formerly Premiere Pro). For quick free edits in the browser, **Clipchamp** or **Kapwing**. For cutting long videos into Shorts, an AI clipping tool such as **Opus Clip** or **Exemplary AI**. The table below compares ten tools on price, free tier and what their AI actually does, as of September 2026. *Disclosure: Exemplary AI is our product. We've tried to judge it by the same criteria as everything else, and we say where other tools are the better choice. Prices were checked on each vendor's own pricing page in September 2026 and change often; follow the links for current numbers.* ## How we compared them We looked at what a YouTube creator needs from an AI editor: - **What the AI does:** transcript editing, silence and filler-word removal, captions, reframing, clip finding, generation. - **Free tier:** whether you can export without a watermark, and at what resolution. - **Price:** the lowest paid plan, and whether it's billed monthly or annually. - **Learning curve:** how quickly a new editor gets a publishable video. No ranking is implied by the order below; each tool is listed with what it's best for. ## Comparison table (September 2026) | Tool | Best for | Free tier | Lowest paid plan | |---|---|---|---| | [Descript](https://www.descript.com/pricing) | Editing video by editing the transcript | Yes: 60 media minutes/month, 720p with watermark | Hobbyist, $16/month billed annually ($24 monthly) | | [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) | Free, full desktop editing and colour | Yes: free version, no watermark | Studio, $295 one-time | | [Adobe Premiere](https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html) | Professional editors who want AI inside a pro timeline | 7-day trial; free Premiere mobile app | From US$22.99/month on an annual plan | | [Clipchamp](https://clipchamp.com/en/pricing/) | Free browser editing with AI captions | Yes: 1080p, watermark-free | Premium via Microsoft 365 Personal or Family | | [Kapwing](https://www.kapwing.com/pricing) | Collaborative browser editing, subtitles, dubbing | Yes: 720p, watermark, exports up to 4 minutes | Pro, $16/month billed annually ($24 monthly) | | [VEED](https://www.veed.io/pricing) | Browser editing with subtitles and brand kits | Yes, with watermark | Creator (priced in local currency; see pricing page) | | [CapCut](https://www.capcut.com/help/how-much-does-capcut-pro-cost) | Free mobile and desktop editing with templates | Yes: Standard version | Pro; price varies by region and device | | [Wisecut](https://www.wisecut.ai/pricing) | Automatic silence cuts, captions and background music | Yes: 30 min/month, 480p, exports up to 3 minutes | Starter, US$189/year (editing only); Starter+ with Autopilot, US$23.25/month billed annually | | [invideo AI](https://invideo.io/pricing) | Generating videos from a prompt | No free plan listed on its pricing page | Basic, $9/month billed annually | | [Exemplary AI](https://exemplary.ai/ai-clips) (ours) | Turning long videos into captioned clips, plus transcripts and subtitles in 99 languages | Yes, with a watermark | See [pricing](https://exemplary.ai/pricing) | ## The tools, one by one ### Descript Descript transcribes your video and lets you cut it by deleting words from the transcript. Its AI co-editor, Underlord, and tools such as Studio Sound, Eye Contact, green screen and filler-word removal are on every plan, with limited use on Free; each plan's AI credits cap how much you can use them ([Descript pricing](https://www.descript.com/pricing)). Caption translation (61 languages), AI dubbing (30 languages) and custom avatars are also on every plan, limited on Free; Business adds translation proofreading. - **Where it's better than Exemplary AI:** full long-form editing, multitrack recording and audio cleanup. If you're editing the main YouTube video, not just clipping it, Descript does more. - **Watch out for:** the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark, and media hours and AI credits cap each plan. ### DaVinci Resolve A complete editing, colour, audio and effects application with a free version. Version 21 is current as of September 2026. The paid Studio version ($295, one-time) adds the DaVinci AI Neural Engine, which powers tools such as smart reframing, voice isolation, object detection, facial recognition and auto colour ([Blackmagic Design](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve)). - **Best for:** creators who want a free, no-watermark editor and are willing to learn a professional tool. The one-time Studio price is less than two years of Descript Hobbyist ($16 x 24 = $384) or Adobe Premiere ($22.99 x 24 = $551.76) at September 2026 prices. - **Watch out for:** the learning curve. It's a pro tool, not a one-click editor. ### Adobe Premiere Adobe now calls Premiere Pro simply Adobe Premiere. Its AI features include **Generative Extend** (adds frames to the start or end of a clip, powered by Firefly; uses generative credits) and **Media Intelligence** search (finds clips by what's in them) ([Adobe blog, April 2025](https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2025/04/02/introducing-new-ai-powered-features-workflow-enhancements-premiere-pro-after-effects)). Adobe's product page says Premiere transcribes video automatically on import for Text-Based Editing and can translate captions into 18 languages. Plans start at US$22.99/month on an annual plan, billed monthly, and Premiere on mobile is a free standalone app ([Adobe](https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html)). - **Best for:** editors who already work in Adobe apps and want AI assistance inside a professional timeline. - **Watch out for:** subscription only for desktop, and generative features consume credits. ### Clipchamp Microsoft's browser editor. The free plan exports watermark-free at up to 1080p and includes AI subtitles, text-to-speech voiceovers and silence removal. Premium is included with Microsoft 365 Personal and Family ([Clipchamp pricing](https://clipchamp.com/en/pricing/)). - **Best for:** beginners and anyone on Windows who wants a free editor with no watermark. - **Watch out for:** fewer advanced tools than desktop editors. ### Kapwing A collaborative browser editor with AI subtitles, text-to-speech and dubbing. Free exports carry a watermark, are limited to 720p and 4 minutes, and include 10 minutes of auto-subtitling. Pro is $16/month billed annually or $24 monthly, with 1,000 subtitle minutes and 50 dubbing minutes a month ([Kapwing pricing](https://www.kapwing.com/pricing)). - **Best for:** small teams that edit together in the browser. - **Watch out for:** free exports carry a watermark and are capped at 4 minutes and 720p. ### VEED A browser editor with auto subtitles, brand kits and AI tools. Free and logged-out exports carry the VEED watermark, and VEED's help center says only a paid subscription removes it ([VEED Help Center](https://support.veed.io/en/articles/7056370-will-the-videos-i-created-have-a-veed-watermark-on-them)). The paid plans are Creator, Pro, Studio and Enterprise; VEED lists prices in your local currency, so check [VEED's pricing page](https://www.veed.io/pricing). - **Best for:** quick subtitle-heavy social edits in the browser. ### CapCut A free editor for mobile, desktop and web with templates, effects and AI tools. The Standard version covers core editing; Pro unlocks premium templates, effects and advanced AI tools. CapCut says Pro pricing varies by region, device and promotion ([CapCut Help](https://www.capcut.com/help/how-much-does-capcut-pro-cost)). - **Best for:** fast, trend-driven vertical edits on a phone. - **Watch out for:** check which AI features need Pro before you build a workflow around them, and check availability in your country. ### Wisecut Automatically cuts silences, adds captions and adds background music. The free plan gives 30 minutes a month at 480p with exports up to 3 minutes. Starter, US$189/year, covers editing only; Starter+ adds Autopilot and social scheduling for US$23.25/month billed annually ([Wisecut pricing](https://www.wisecut.ai/pricing)). - **Best for:** a quick first rough cut of a talking-head video. - **Watch out for:** the free plan exports at 480p and up to 3 minutes, below the HD most viewers expect. ### invideo AI Generates videos from a text prompt using generative video models, with a timeline editor for changes. Plans are credit-based, from $9/month billed annually; its pricing page lists no free plan and says unused credits don't roll over ([invideo pricing](https://invideo.io/pricing)). - **Best for:** faceless or explainer videos made from a script, not editing footage you shot. ### Exemplary AI (our product) [Exemplary AI](https://exemplary.ai/ai-clips) is built for repurposing: it transcribes a long video, suggests clips around its most engaging moments, reframes the speaker to vertical with active speaker detection, and adds animated captions. You can edit clips through the transcript, remove silences and filler words, add B-roll automatically, and export subtitles as SRT or VTT. Transcription covers 99 languages as of September 2026, which helps if your channel isn't in English. There's a free plan; see [pricing](https://exemplary.ai/pricing). - **Best for:** turning podcasts, interviews and webinars into Shorts, Reels and TikToks, and getting transcripts, subtitles and [timestamps](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-timestamp-generator) for the long video. - **Where others are better:** for editing the main long-form video, use Descript, Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve. For generating video from a prompt, use invideo AI. ## Which one should you pick? - **You edit talking-head or podcast videos:** Descript. - **You want free and no watermark:** DaVinci Resolve (desktop) or Clipchamp (browser). - **You're a professional editor:** Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve Studio. - **You mainly make Shorts from long videos:** an AI clipping tool. Compare options in our [Opus Clip alternatives guide](https://exemplary.ai/blog/top-opus-pro-alternatives) and [AI tools for YouTube Shorts](https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-ai-tools-for-youtube-shorts). - **You want the editor to work from a transcript:** see our [text-based video editors guide](https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-text-based-video-editing-ai-tools). > **Turn one long video into many Shorts** > Upload a video and get captioned vertical clips you can edit by text. > [Try AI Clips free](https://exemplary.ai/ai-clips) ## FAQ ### Is there a free AI video editor with no watermark? Yes. DaVinci Resolve's free version and Clipchamp's free plan (up to 1080p, per [Clipchamp](https://clipchamp.com/en/pricing/)) both export without a watermark. Descript, Kapwing, VEED and Exemplary AI watermark free exports. ### Can AI edit a whole YouTube video for me? Partly. AI tools reliably handle transcription, captions, silence and filler-word removal, reframing and clip suggestions. Story structure, pacing and what to cut for meaning still need a person. Tools like Descript's Underlord can draft edits, but review them before you publish. ### What's the best AI video editor for beginners? Clipchamp or CapCut for a free, simple start; Descript if your videos are mostly people talking, because editing text is easier than editing a timeline. ### What's the best AI tool for turning long videos into Shorts? An AI clipping tool, which finds moments, reframes to vertical and adds captions in one pass. YouTube Studio also has a free Clips and Shorts tool with AI suggestions in some countries. See [how to create YouTube Shorts from long videos](https://exemplary.ai/blog/how-to-create-youtube-shorts-guide). ### Are AI video editors worth paying for? If you publish weekly, the time saved on captions and rough cuts usually justifies a plan. Try the free tier first with one real video and check export quality and limits before you pay. --- url: https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-hashtag-tiktok-reels title: "Best Hashtags for TikTok and Reels (2026)" description: "Instagram now allows only 5 hashtags per post. What TikTok and Instagram say hashtags do, how to pick your five, and example sets for 13 niches." published: 2024-03-29 updated: 2026-09-25 author: "Hethal Solanki" publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # Best Hashtags for TikTok and Reels (2026) The best hashtags for TikTok and Instagram Reels are a few specific ones that describe your video, not a copied "viral" list. On Instagram the limit is fixed now: [up to 5 hashtags per post or reel](https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/351460621611097) (Instagram Help, since December 2025). On TikTok, keep to 3 to 5 as well. TikTok uses hashtags as one of several pieces of "content information" when it recommends videos, and it weighs how people interact with a video more heavily ([TikTok Support](https://support.tiktok.com/en/using-tiktok/exploring-videos/how-tiktok-recommends-content)). Pick one tag for the topic, one or two narrower ones, and one for the audience. Below are the current platform rules (checked September 2026), a way to choose tags, and example sets by niche. ## What the platforms actually say | | TikTok | Instagram Reels | |---|---|---| | Hashtag limit | No limit documented in TikTok's Help Center. Since August 2025 many accounts have reported an in-app cap of five per caption ([Social Media Today](https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/tiktok-implements-five-hashtag-limit-per-post/757857/)). | Up to 5 per post or reel. Include more than 5 and "your comment won't post" ([Instagram Help](https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/351460621611097)). | | Where to add them | Add them to the post description when you post ([TikTok Support](https://support.tiktok.com/en/using-tiktok/creating-videos/making-a-post)) | In the caption or in a comment on your post | | Role in recommendations | Hashtags are listed alongside sounds, view counts and the country the video was posted in as "content information." For most users, interactions such as watch time are "generally weighted more heavily" ([TikTok Support](https://support.tiktok.com/en/using-tiktok/exploring-videos/how-tiktok-recommends-content)). | Instagram announced the 5-tag limit on December 18, 2025 ([@creators on Threads](https://www.threads.com/@creators/post/DSalXGPCWM4)), pushing creators toward fewer, more targeted tags. | | Role in search | Search results depend mostly on how well content matches the search term. Hashtags and sounds are part of that match. | Posts from public accounts appear on the matching hashtag page. Posts from private accounts don't ([Instagram Help](https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/351460621611097)). | In short, hashtags tell each platform what your video is about. They don't push a weak video into feeds. The first seconds of the video and how long people watch matter more. ## Why "viral hashtag lists" don't help Lists that show view counts next to `#fyp`, `#funny` or `#viral` are measuring how many videos use a tag, not whether the tag helps a new video. Neither TikTok nor Instagram publishes a ranking of "best" hashtags. A giant tag like `#funny` is shared by an enormous number of other videos, so it tells the recommendation system almost nothing about yours. `#fyp` and `#foryou` describe no topic at all. TikTok's recommendation page doesn't mention them. Five slots on Instagram (and a practical five on TikTok) make this simple: each slot should say something true and specific about the video. ## How to pick your five 1. **Write the topic as a phrase.** "Sourdough starter for beginners" is better than "baking." 2. **Search it in the app.** On TikTok, type the phrase into Search and look at the suggested searches and hashtags. On Instagram, open the hashtag page and check that recent posts there look like yours. 3. **Fill the slots in this order:** one topic tag (`#sourdough`), one or two narrower tags (`#sourdoughstarter`, `#sourdoughforbeginners`), one audience or format tag (`#bakingtips`), and optionally one branded or series tag (`#yourshowname`). 4. **Put keywords in the caption and on screen too.** TikTok's search ranks mostly on how well content matches the search term, so the words people type should appear in your caption text and on-screen text as well as in hashtags. 5. **Review after a few weeks.** TikTok Studio and Instagram Insights both show where views came from. If search or hashtag traffic is near zero, change the topic words, not just the number of tags. ## Example hashtag sets by niche These are **examples to adapt**, not a verified "top" list and not view-count rankings. Check each tag in the app before you use it. | Niche | Example set (5 tags) | |---|---| | Home cooking | `#easyrecipes` `#airfryer` `#airfryerrecipes` `#weeknightdinner` `#cooking` | | Baking | `#sourdough` `#sourdoughstarter` `#baking` `#bread` `#bakingtips` | | Fitness | `#homeworkout` `#coreworkout` `#fitnesstips` `#beginnerworkout` `#fitness` | | Skincare | `#skincare` `#skincareroutine` `#sensitiveskin` `#spf` `#skincaretips` | | Fashion | `#ootd` `#capsulewardrobe` `#styletips` `#thriftflip` `#fashion` | | Gaming | `#minecraft` `#minecraftbuilds` `#gaming` `#minecrafttutorial` `#survival` | | Tech | `#techtok` `#iphonetips` `#productivity` `#techreview` `#gadgets` | | Personal finance | `#personalfinance` `#budgeting` `#savingmoney` `#debtfree` `#moneytips` | | Study and education | `#studytok` `#studytips` `#learnontiktok` `#exam` `#studywithme` | | Travel | `#japantravel` `#tokyo` `#traveltips` `#budgettravel` `#travel` | | Pets | `#dogsoftiktok` `#goldenretriever` `#dogtraining` `#puppy` `#pets` | | Small business | `#smallbusiness` `#packingorders` `#handmade` `#smallbusinesscheck` `#entrepreneur` | | Podcast clips | `#podcast` `#podcastclips` the show name, the guest's name, and the topic | Swap TikTok-specific tags (`#techtok`, `#studytok`, `#learnontiktok`, `#dogsoftiktok`) for platform-neutral ones when you post the same video as a Reel. ## Posting the same video to TikTok and Reels - **Remove the other app's watermark.** Instagram says it may make reels less visible when they are watermarked, low resolution, muted, bordered, mostly text, or already posted on Instagram ([Instagram](https://about.instagram.com/blog/announcements/instagram-ranking-explained)). Export a clean file rather than re-uploading a downloaded TikTok. - **Rewrite the hashtags for each app.** Keep the topic tags and change the community tags. - **Add captions.** They help people watching without sound, and the on-screen words match what people search for. If you cut clips from longer videos, Exemplary AI (our product) can find the moments, reframe them to vertical and add captions with the [TikTok clip maker](https://exemplary.ai/ai-clips) or [Instagram Reel maker](https://exemplary.ai/instagram-reel-maker). It can also suggest hashtags based on your content with the [hashtag generator](https://exemplary.ai/hashtag-generator). Review the suggestions against the five-slot method above before posting. > **Get hashtag ideas from your video** > Suggests hashtags based on your content.

Use 3 to 5. TikTok doesn't publish a limit in its Help Center, but many accounts have reported an in-app cap of five per caption since August 2025, and more tags don't help anyway. ### How many hashtags can you use on Instagram Reels? Up to 5 per post or reel. Instagram's Help Center says that if you include more than 5 on a single photo or video, your comment won't post. Instagram announced the change on December 18, 2025. The previous limit was 30. ### Does #fyp help you get on the For You page? There is no evidence it does. TikTok's explanation of For You recommendations lists hashtags as content information but never mentions `#fyp`. The tag describes no topic, so it gives the system nothing useful. ### Should hashtags go in the caption or a comment? On Instagram, either works: Instagram Help says you can add hashtags in the caption or the comments, and you can add them later by editing the caption. On TikTok, add them to the description when you post. ### Where can I find trending hashtags? On TikTok, use Search and the trending content in TikTok Studio, which you can filter by region and topic. On Instagram, check hashtag pages for recent posts. Use a trending tag only if your video actually fits it. --- url: https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-ai-tools-for-youtube-shorts title: "Best AI Tools for YouTube Shorts" description: "Compare tools for finding, editing and captioning YouTube Shorts, including native creation and clearly qualified free export options." published: 2024-10-10 updated: 2026-10-01 author: "Sarath Chandran" publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # Best AI Tools for YouTube Shorts Making a YouTube Short involves more than finding a short sentence. You need a complete idea, a vertical frame that preserves the useful action, corrected captions and an export you can actually publish. Some tools discover moments in a long recording; others help finish an excerpt you have already chosen. This guide compares those jobs rather than inventing a tested ranking or promising reach. It also includes YouTube’s own editing route as a baseline, while clearly distinguishing native manual creation from automatic highlight selection. ## Compare the options | Tool | Start here when you need | Free or paid qualification | | --- | --- | --- | | YouTube Shorts tools | A native baseline for your own channel | Native; source eligibility applies | | OpusClip | Discovering candidates in long spoken videos | Watermarked free plan | | Vizard | Automatic selection followed by review | Watermarked free plan | | Submagic | Captions and presentation for a selected clip | Check trial and paid plan | | Descript | Text-led selection and careful revisions | Free exports watermarked | | Exemplary AI | Clips with transcript and written repurposing | Our product; plan limits apply | ## What to compare **Choose the input workflow.** A long podcast, a mobile recording and an eligible video already on your channel need different starting points. Select a tool that accepts the source without adding unnecessary downloads and uploads. **Keep a complete promise.** The opening should tell the viewer what the clip delivers, and the remaining footage should fulfil it. Reject automated excerpts that remove the setup or a qualification merely to make the first sentence more provocative. **Finish for the actual screen.** The speaker, demonstration and caption text all compete for a small portrait frame. Check the full exported file, including the final words, instead of approving only an attractive first-frame preview. ## The shortlist ### YouTube Shorts tools: a native baseline for your own channel The mobile app can turn eligible videos from your own channel into Shorts through its Remix workflow. [Vendor documentation](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12836917?hl=en) YouTube’s mobile Remix route can edit eligible videos from your own channel into Shorts. It is useful when you already know the moment and want a native creation path. This specific workflow should not be described as an AI highlight detector. Check the source eligibility and available controls in your account, then use it as a practical baseline when deciding whether an external paid tool solves an additional problem. ### OpusClip: discovering candidates in long spoken videos Long-video highlight selection and captions; free clips carry a watermark. [Vendor documentation](https://www.opus.pro/pricing) Choose a dedicated clipper when finding useful moments is the slow stage. Give it a source containing the normal interview structure of your channel rather than a specially prepared sample. Inspect whether each candidate makes sense without the original episode. The free plan’s branding is an evaluation constraint; compare a paid clean export if the Short needs to match your established presentation. ### Vizard: automatic selection followed by review AI clipping with an editor; its free tier has watermarked exports and short retention. [Vendor documentation](https://vizard.ai/pricing) Put Vizard on the shortlist when the clip editor is as important as candidate discovery. Review an excerpt with a speaker change or onscreen demonstration and assess the correction process. A high volume of candidates is only useful if the producer can reject and repair them efficiently. Its free retention qualification deserves attention if the normal review involves a colleague who responds later. ### Submagic: captions and presentation for a selected clip Animated captions and short-video editing; the documented plans gate allowances and caption translation. [Vendor documentation](https://www.submagic.co/pricing) Submagic is relevant when the moment has already been chosen and the task is making the Short readable. Test a restrained caption style before adding word emphasis or motion. Correct proper names and any numbers, then check whether the text covers the action. Compare the exact paid allowance and language entitlements you need rather than treating every advertised styling feature as a free included output. ### Descript: text-led selection and careful revisions Transcript-based audio/video editing, captions and AI tools; watermark-free video export requires a paid plan. [Vendor documentation](https://www.descript.com/pricing) Use transcript editing when a producer needs a specific answer or teaching point. Select the passage in text, then check the audio and picture for transitions that the transcript cannot show. Keep the original wording available when a cut removes a qualification. The paid clean-export requirement belongs in the comparison, particularly when the free project access initially makes the tool appear suitable for a regular publishing schedule. ### Exemplary AI: clips with transcript and written repurposing Our product combines media transcription with written repurposing; Free has a one-time credit allowance. [Vendor documentation](https://exemplary.ai/pricing) Exemplary AI is our own product, included when the source also needs a transcript and related written materials. Evaluate those deliverables as a connected workflow rather than assuming every creator needs them. Review selected moments against the original and correct caption text before publication. Our [pricing](https://exemplary.ai/pricing) documents the Free plan’s one-time credit allowance and video watermark, so it should not be described as an unlimited clean-export option. ## A practical evaluation workflow Write the point of the Short in one sentence. Select the moment that delivers that point, keeping enough context for a new viewer. Repair the opening and ending before styling the text. Watch the crop through every speaker change and ensure that a demonstration remains visible. Preview the finished file muted for readability, then listen without captions to identify unnatural transitions. Keep the source timestamp and clean master together so a later correction is easy. Our [long-video-to-Shorts guide](https://exemplary.ai/blog/turn-long-videos-into-shorts) explains selection in more detail, and [AI Shorts generators](https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-ai-shorts-generators) focuses specifically on automated clipping from existing footage. ## FAQ ### What is the best free AI tool for YouTube Shorts? Free offers solve different tasks. A branded clipper can help evaluate moment selection, while native or manual editing can finish a known excerpt. Clean automatic clipping has narrower qualified offers, covered in our [free clipping guide](https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-free-ai-clipping-tools). Confirm the repeatable allowance and source requirements before choosing a recurring workflow. ### Can an AI Shorts tool guarantee more views? No such guarantee is established by this comparison. Automated selection or styling can assist production, but a score is not a measured forecast of audience response. Check whether the Short communicates the intended idea clearly, then assess performance using your own channel data and the content you actually publish. ## Which option to choose Use a clipper when discovery is difficult, a transcript editor when deliberate selection matters and a caption-focused tool when presentation is the remaining job. Compare YouTube’s native route for eligible footage already on your channel. When several outputs share one recording, consider our [Exemplary AI workflow](https://exemplary.ai/) and its [plan terms](https://exemplary.ai/pricing), with the same source review applied before publishing. --- url: https://exemplary.ai/blog/how-to-create-youtube-shorts-guide title: "How to Make YouTube Shorts From Long Videos" description: "Turn a long video into YouTube Shorts: 3 methods (free in YouTube Studio, AI clipping, manual edit) plus the 2026 rules: 3-minute limit, 9:16, 1080p." published: 2024-06-19 updated: 2026-09-25 author: "Hethal Solanki" publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # How to Make YouTube Shorts From Long Videos To create YouTube Shorts from a long video, pick a 15 to 60 second moment that makes sense on its own, crop it to a vertical (9:16) or square frame, add captions, and upload it as a video of **3 minutes or less**. YouTube treats any square or vertical upload of up to three minutes as a Short ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877?hl=en)). You can do this three ways: for free inside YouTube Studio, with an AI clipping tool that finds the moments for you, or by hand in a video editor. This guide covers all three, plus the current Shorts rules that changed in 2024 to 2026. *Updated September 2026. Platform rules below are quoted from YouTube Help pages as of September 25, 2026; they change often, so check the linked pages before you rely on a limit.* ## YouTube Shorts rules in 2026 (what actually counts as a Short) | Rule | Current value | Source | |---|---|---| | Maximum length | Up to 3 minutes (for uploads since October 15, 2024) | [Understand three-minute Shorts](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877?hl=en) | | Aspect ratio | Square or vertical. 16:9 uploads stay long-form | [Upload YouTube Shorts](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12779649?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop) | | Maximum resolution | 1080p | [Get started creating Shorts](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10059070?hl=en) | | Bulk upload from a computer | Up to 15 Shorts at a time, each finished with "Edit draft" | [Upload YouTube Shorts](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12779649?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop) | | Hashtags | Optional. More than 60 hashtags and YouTube ignores all of them | [Hashtags on YouTube](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6390658?hl=en) | | Content ID on 1 to 3 minute Shorts | From September 24, 2026, new Shorts over one minute with an active Content ID claim are no longer automatically blocked | [Understand three-minute Shorts](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877?hl=en) | Two older "rules" you will still see repeated elsewhere are out of date: Shorts are no longer capped at 60 seconds, and you do not need `#Shorts` in the title for a vertical video to be treated as a Short. ## Method 1: Free, inside YouTube Studio YouTube now has its own clipping tool. In YouTube Studio, open **Content > Videos**, choose a long video, and select **Clips and Shorts** in the left menu. You pick the segment from the transcript or timeline, or use AI-suggested segments where available, and publish it as a Short ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15824265)). What to know: - **AI suggestions are limited.** YouTube lists them as available in select countries (including India, the US, the UK, Brazil and Mexico) and select languages (English, French, German, Hindi, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish). - **Your Short links back to the source video.** The original is added as the Short's related video, unless the Short is private, unlisted or made for kids. - **No penalty for reusing your own footage.** YouTube states you won't be penalized for using your content in a clip or Short. - **On the mobile app**, "Remix > Edit into a Short" lets you select up to 60 seconds of a public long-form video you uploaded. Videos with third-party copyright claims can't be used ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12836917?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid)). **Best for:** occasional Shorts from videos already on your channel, when you don't need styled captions or reframing control. ## Method 2: An AI clipping tool (fastest for many Shorts) AI clipping tools take a long video (an upload or a YouTube link), transcribe it, suggest the moments most likely to work as standalone clips, reframe the speaker into a vertical frame and add animated captions. They're worth it when you publish several Shorts a week, when the source isn't on YouTube yet (a podcast recording, a webinar, a Zoom call), or when your language isn't covered by YouTube's AI suggestions. *Disclosure: Exemplary AI is our product. Other tools that do the same job include Opus Clip, Vizard and Klap; we compare them in [our Opus Clip alternatives guide](https://exemplary.ai/blog/top-opus-pro-alternatives) and [AI tools for YouTube Shorts](https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-ai-tools-for-youtube-shorts).* Here's the workflow in [Exemplary AI's AI Clips](https://exemplary.ai/ai-clips): 1. **Add your video.** Upload a file or paste a video link. 2. **Generate clips.** The AI transcribes the video and suggests clips built around its most engaging moments. Transcription covers 99 languages as of September 2026, so this works for Hindi, Tamil, Spanish or Arabic videos, not just English. 3. **Check the framing.** Active speaker detection keeps the person talking in frame when a landscape video becomes vertical. Switch between fit, fill and split layouts if the default crop cuts something off. 4. **Edit by text.** Trim the clip by editing its transcript, remove silences and filler words, and adjust the start and end so the first line is a strong hook. 5. **Style captions.** Pick an animated caption template, add emojis if they suit your audience, and apply your brand colours and fonts. 6. **Export.** Download the clip as an MP4, then upload it to YouTube (or TikTok and Reels) yourself. Generate a title and description with AI if you need a starting point. Treat the AI's picks as a shortlist, not a verdict. Watch each suggested clip start to finish before you publish; a clip that sounds good in a transcript can still open mid-sentence or depend on something said earlier. **Best for:** repurposing podcasts, interviews, webinars and talks into many Shorts, TikToks and Reels at once. ## Method 3: By hand in a video editor Any editor that can set a 9:16 canvas works (CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro). The steps: 1. Set the project to 1080 x 1920 (9:16). 2. Import the long video and cut the segment you want. 3. Scale and position the frame so the speaker or subject stays centred; keyframe the position if they move. 4. Add captions. They help anyone watching with the sound off or in a second language. 5. Export at 1080p or lower (YouTube's Shorts maximum) and upload through YouTube Studio or the YouTube app. **Best for:** a few high-stakes Shorts where you want full creative control. ## How to pick the right moments Whichever method you use, the clip choice matters more than the tool. A good Short from a long video usually has: - **A self-contained point.** Someone who never saw the full video should understand it. - **A hook in the first line.** Open on the claim, the question or the surprising result, not on "So, um, the next thing is…". - **One idea.** If the segment covers two points, make two Shorts. - **A natural ending.** End on the payoff, then stop. You can point to the full video through the related video link. Your own analytics are the best guide to which long videos to mine. In YouTube Studio, look at the retention graph of a long video: the spikes where viewers rewind or keep watching are good candidates. ## After you publish: what to measure YouTube changed how Shorts views are counted on March 31, 2025: **Views** now count every time a Short starts or replays, with no minimum watch time, while the older metric is reported as **Engaged views**. Partner Program eligibility and Shorts revenue sharing are still based on engaged views ([YouTube announcement](https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/333869549/a-change-to-how-we-count-views-on-shorts?hl=en)). Also check **Viewed (vs. swiped away)** in the Shorts analytics: it shows how often people stayed on your Short when it appeared in the feed ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12942217?hl=en-GB&co=YOUTUBE._YTVideoType%3Dshorts)). A low rate usually means the first second or two isn't working, which you fix in the edit, not with hashtags. ![Why convert long videos into YouTube Shorts](https://exemplary.ai/img/blog/how-to-create-youtube-shorts-guide/image-1.png) ## Titles, descriptions and hashtags - **Title:** say what the viewer gets, in plain words. A [YouTube title generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-video-title-generator) can give you options to edit. - **Description:** one or two lines of context and a pointer to the full video. - **Hashtags:** a few relevant ones are enough; YouTube shows up to three above the title and ignores every hashtag on a video that has more than 60 ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6390658?hl=en)).

Up to 3 minutes. Square or vertical videos of three minutes or less uploaded since October 15, 2024 are categorized as Shorts; wider videos such as 16:9 remain long-form ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877?hl=en)). ### Is there a minimum length for a Short? YouTube's help pages don't set a minimum. In practice most Shorts made from long videos land between 15 and 60 seconds, because a single idea rarely needs more. ### Can I make Shorts from my long videos for free? Yes. YouTube Studio's Clips and Shorts tool lets you cut a Short from any of your own long-form videos, with AI-suggested segments in supported countries and languages ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15824265)). Third-party AI clipping tools, including Exemplary AI, also have free plans with usage limits; check each tool's pricing page. ### Do I need to add #Shorts to the title? No. YouTube decides a video is a Short from its length (up to 3 minutes) and its square or vertical aspect ratio ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12779649?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop)). Hashtags help with discovery, not classification. ### Will reposting clips from my own long video hurt my channel? YouTube says you won't be penalized for using your own content in a clip or Short, and Shorts made with its tool link back to the source video ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15824265)). ### What resolution should I export Shorts at? 1080 x 1920 (9:16). YouTube's maximum resolution for Shorts is 1080p, so exporting higher only makes the file bigger ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10059070?hl=en)). ### What happens to a Short over one minute that uses copyrighted music? From September 24, 2026, new Shorts between one and three minutes with an active Content ID claim are no longer automatically blocked and may stay playable, but a Short that is blocked globally isn't eligible for monetization ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877?hl=en)). --- url: https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-hashtags-for-youtube-shorts title: "Best Hashtags for YouTube Shorts: 2026 Rules" description: "YouTube's own hashtag rules for Shorts (60-tag cap, 3 shown by the title, #Shorts optional), a 5-step way to pick tags, and example sets by niche." published: 2023-12-11 updated: 2026-09-25 author: "Senthil" publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # Best Hashtags for YouTube Shorts: 2026 Rules There is no single list of "best" YouTube Shorts hashtags. Nobody outside YouTube can see which tags drive views, and YouTube doesn't publish one. What does work: 3 to 5 specific hashtags that describe the Short's topic, placed in the title or description, with the most important one first. Stay far below YouTube's hard limit: [if a video has more than 60 hashtags, YouTube ignores all of them](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6390658?hl=en). `#Shorts` is optional. YouTube classifies an upload as a Short by its length and shape, not by a hashtag. Below: the rules as YouTube documents them (checked September 2026), a five-step way to choose tags, and example sets by niche. ## How YouTube hashtags work (per YouTube Help) These come from YouTube's own [hashtag help page](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6390658?hl=en), [Shorts upload page](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12779649?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop) and [tags page](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/146402?hl=en), as of September 2026: | Rule | What YouTube says | |---|---| | Where hashtags go | Type `#` in the title or description. YouTube suggests popular hashtags as you type. | | What viewers see | Up to three hashtags "considered most engaging" appear by the title. | | Clickable | Hashtags in the title and description link to a results page of other content using the same hashtag. | | Over-tagging | More than 60 hashtags on one video and YouTube ignores every hashtag on it. | | Prohibited | Spaces inside a hashtag, misleading or unrelated tags, harassment, hate speech, sexual content, vulgar language. Violations can lead to removal. | | What makes a Short | Up to 3 minutes long, with a square or vertical aspect ratio. No hashtag required. | | Hashtags vs tags | The separate "Tags" field "plays a minimal role" in discovery. Title, thumbnail and description matter more. | Two things follow. First, hashtags are labels, not a ranking boost. They help YouTube and viewers see what the Short is about, and they add your Short to a hashtag results page. Second, the title and the first line of the description carry more weight than a pile of tags, so write those first. ## Do you need #Shorts? No. YouTube's upload help lists two criteria for a Short: up to 3 minutes, and a square or vertical aspect ratio ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12779649?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop)). Shorts up to 3 minutes have been allowed for uploads since October 15, 2024 ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877?hl=en)). `#Shorts` doesn't hurt, but it takes a slot that a topic hashtag could use. Almost every Short could carry it, so it says nothing about what your video covers. ## A five-step method for choosing hashtags 1. **Name the topic in plain words.** For example: "3-ingredient air fryer dessert." Your hashtags should come from this phrase, not from a generic list. 2. **Search it on YouTube.** Type `#` plus your main keyword in the title field and look at what YouTube suggests. Then open the hashtag's results page and check that the Shorts there are actually like yours. 3. **Pick one broad, one or two specific, one audience or format tag.** For example: `#airfryer` (broad), `#airfryerdessert` (specific), `#easyrecipes` (audience). Specific tags have less competition and a more relevant results page. 4. **Put the most important tag where it shows.** YouTube chooses which hashtags appear by the title, but a hashtag in the title is visible and clickable either way. Use one there at most. Titles full of hashtags read like spam. 5. **Check results after 2 to 4 weeks.** In YouTube Studio, open a Short's analytics and look at where its views came from. If nearly all of them came from the Shorts feed and almost none from search, your hashtags aren't doing much. Put more work into the hook and the topic. ## Example hashtag sets by niche These are **examples to adapt**, not a verified "top" list. They are plain topic words that describe common Shorts niches. Check each one on YouTube before using it, as described above. | Niche | Example set | |---|---| | Cooking | `#airfryer` `#easyrecipes` `#dessert` | | Fitness | `#homeworkout` `#coreworkout` `#fitnesstips` | | Gaming | `#minecraft` `#minecraftbuilds` `#gaming` | | Tech reviews | `#smartphone` `#techreview` `#iphone` | | Beauty | `#skincare` `#makeuptutorial` `#drugstoremakeup` | | Education | `#learnenglish` `#grammar` `#studytips` | | Personal finance | `#personalfinance` `#budgeting` `#investing101` | | Travel | `#japantravel` `#tokyo` `#travelguide` | | Pets | `#goldenretriever` `#dogtraining` `#puppy` | | Podcast clips | `#podcast` `#podcastclips` plus the guest's or show's name | | Comedy skits | `#comedy` `#skit` `#relatable` | | DIY and home | `#diy` `#homeimprovement` `#woodworking` | Notice the pattern: each set names the subject, a narrower version of it, and who it is for. That pattern matters more than the specific words. ## Common mistakes - **Stuffing.** 15 to 30 hashtags don't help. More than 60 and YouTube ignores them all. Even below that, YouTube's help page warns that the more tags you add, the less relevant they become. - **Irrelevant trending tags.** A trending tag unrelated to your Short breaks YouTube's policy on misleading hashtags and can get the video removed. - **Copying another platform's tags.** `#fyp` and `#foryou` are TikTok habits. They describe nothing about your content on YouTube. - **Treating hashtags as the growth lever.** The first two seconds, the topic and the title decide most of a Short's reach. Hashtags only label it. ## Getting hashtags from your own video If you cut Shorts from longer videos, the best hashtags are usually already in what you said. Exemplary AI (our product) can suggest hashtags based on your content with the [hashtag generator](https://exemplary.ai/hashtag-generator), and the [YouTube Shorts maker](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-maker) turns a long video into vertical clips with captions, titles and descriptions you can edit before posting. > **Turn a long video into Shorts** > Find the strongest moments, reframe to vertical, add captions and draft titles and hashtags you can edit. > [Try the Shorts maker](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-shorts-maker) ## FAQ ### How many hashtags should I use on YouTube Shorts? Use 3 to 5 relevant hashtags. YouTube shows up to three by the title and ignores every hashtag on a video that has more than 60, so extra tags add nothing and can backfire. ### Where should I put hashtags on a YouTube Short? Put them in the title or the description. Both are clickable and link to a hashtag results page. Most creators put one in the title and the rest at the end of the description. ### Does #Shorts help a video get into the Shorts feed? No. YouTube treats a video as a Short when it's up to 3 minutes long and square or vertical. `#Shorts` is optional. ### Are hashtags the same as YouTube tags? No. Hashtags go in the title or description and are visible and clickable. Tags go in a separate hidden field, and YouTube says they play a minimal role in discovery, mainly helping with commonly misspelled words. ### Which hashtags are trending on YouTube right now? Type `#` and a keyword in the title field when you upload, and YouTube suggests popular hashtags. Check a hashtag's results page before using it. A trending tag only helps if your Short matches it. --- url: https://exemplary.ai/blog/summary-of-a-youtube-video-using-chatgpt title: "How to summarize a YouTube video with ChatGPT" description: "Copy the YouTube transcript into ChatGPT with one of three ready prompts, or use YouTube's Ask button. Step-by-step methods and their limits." published: 2023-08-08 updated: 2026-09-25 author: "Sherlin Jannet" publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # How to summarize a YouTube video with ChatGPT The most reliable way to summarize a YouTube video with ChatGPT is to give it the video's transcript. Open the video on YouTube, click **Show transcript** in the description, copy the text, and paste it into ChatGPT under a prompt such as "Summarize this transcript in 5 bullet points." Pasting only the link is hit and miss: OpenAI's help center documents web search and file uploads, not reading a YouTube video from its URL, so ChatGPT may answer from the title, description or other pages about the video instead of what was actually said. If the video has no captions, you'll need to transcribe it first. The steps, ready-to-use prompts, and the limits of each method are below (checked September 2026). ## Method 1: Copy the YouTube transcript into ChatGPT This works on the free ChatGPT plan and for any video that has captions, including YouTube's automatic ones. 1. Open the video on YouTube in a browser. 2. Expand the description and click **Show transcript**. YouTube shows the transcript for videos that have captions ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15930243)). 3. Select the whole transcript panel and copy it. The timestamps come with it, which is useful if you want ChatGPT to point to moments in the video. 4. Open [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com), paste one of the prompts below, then paste the transcript underneath. 5. Check anything important against the video before you use it. For a long video, the transcript may be too long to paste comfortably. Save it as a `.txt` file and attach it instead. OpenAI's [File Uploads FAQ](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8555545-file-uploads-faq) caps text files at 2 million tokens each, and Free users can upload 3 files per day (limits as of September 2026). ### Prompt templates A quick summary: ```text You are summarizing a YouTube video from its transcript. Title: [paste the video title] Write: 1. A one-sentence summary of what the video is about. 2. The 5 most important points, as bullets, in the order they appear. 3. Any concrete numbers, names, tools or recommendations mentioned. Use only what is in the transcript. If something is unclear, say so instead of guessing. Transcript: [paste transcript] ``` Study notes with timestamps: ```text Turn this YouTube transcript into structured notes. - Split it into sections by topic, each with a short heading and the timestamp where it starts. - Under each heading, list the key ideas in plain language. - End with a "Key takeaways" list of no more than 5 items and a list of terms I should look up. Only use information from the transcript, and keep the original timestamps. Transcript: [paste transcript] ``` Answer a specific question: ```text I want to know: [your question, e.g. "What settings does the presenter recommend for low light?"] Answer using only this YouTube transcript. Quote the relevant lines with their timestamps. If the video doesn't answer the question, say "Not covered in this video." Transcript: [paste transcript] ``` If ChatGPT stops partway through a very long transcript, split it into parts, ask for a summary of each part, then ask for one combined summary of those summaries. ## Method 2: Use YouTube's own Ask button On some videos, YouTube shows an **Ask** button under the player. You can pick a suggested prompt or type something like "Summarize this video" and get an answer without leaving YouTube. According to [YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/14110396), it is available to signed-in users aged 13 or older (or the applicable age in their country), in select languages and regions, on select videos, on Android, iOS, desktop browsers and smart TVs. It isn't available for supervised accounts or in YouTube Kids. YouTube says the answers are AI-generated and that "quality and accuracy may vary." If you don't see the button, the feature isn't offered for that video, language or account yet, and Method 1 is the fallback. ## Method 3: Upload the video file to ChatGPT If you have the video file itself (for example, your own upload), you can attach it to a ChatGPT conversation. OpenAI's [Image Inputs FAQ](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8400551-chatgpt-image-inputs-faq) says ChatGPT accepts video attachments, including on Free plans, but warns that the analysis "can be incomplete or inaccurate" and may not cover the entire video or interpret its audio accurately. Uploads are capped at 512 MB per file ([File Uploads FAQ](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8555545-file-uploads-faq)). For anything longer than a short clip, a transcript gives a more dependable summary. ## Method 4: Get the transcript with a transcription tool Use a transcription tool when the video has no captions, the auto-captions are poor, or you want a clean, editable transcript you can keep. Disclosure: we make Exemplary AI, so treat this as our product, not a neutral pick. With Exemplary AI you paste the YouTube link (or upload the file) on the [YouTube transcription](https://exemplary.ai/transcribe-youtube-video) page, fix any errors in the editor, and then either copy the transcript into ChatGPT with the prompts above or generate a summary directly with the [AI summarizer](https://exemplary.ai/summarizer). You can also ask questions about the video in [AI chat](https://exemplary.ai/ai-chat), or turn the transcript into chapter markers with the [YouTube timestamp generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-timestamp-generator). It transcribes 99 languages and has a free plan. > **Get a transcript from any YouTube link** > Paste a link, edit the transcript, then summarize it or chat with it. > [Transcribe a YouTube video](https://exemplary.ai/transcribe-youtube-video) ## Which method to use | Situation | Best method | | --- | --- | | Video has captions and you use ChatGPT already | Method 1: copy the transcript and paste it with a prompt | | You want a quick answer without leaving YouTube | Method 2: the Ask button, if it appears | | You have the file and it's short | Method 3: upload it to ChatGPT | | No captions, poor auto-captions, or you need an editable transcript | Method 4: transcribe it first | ## Limits to keep in mind - **No captions, no transcript.** Show transcript only works for videos that have captions, and not every video does. - **Auto-captions make mistakes**, especially with names, jargon, accents and music. Those errors carry into the summary. - **Transcripts miss the visuals.** Slides, code on screen, charts and demos aren't in the text, so a summary of a screen-heavy tutorial will leave things out. - **ChatGPT can still get details wrong.** Asking it to use only the transcript and quote timestamps makes claims easier to check, but verify numbers, names and quotes before you publish or rely on them. - **Long videos** may need to be summarized in parts, as described above. ## FAQ ### Can ChatGPT watch a YouTube video from a link? Not reliably. OpenAI documents web search and file uploads for ChatGPT but not reading a video's content from a YouTube URL, so a link alone may produce a summary based on the title or other web pages. Paste the transcript for a summary of what was actually said. ### Is there a free way to summarize a YouTube video? Yes. Copying the transcript from YouTube and pasting it into ChatGPT works on ChatGPT's free plan. YouTube's Ask button is also free where it's available. ### How do I summarize a YouTube video that has no transcript? Transcribe the audio first with a transcription tool, then paste or upload that transcript into ChatGPT, or summarize it in the same tool. ### How do I get timestamps in the summary? Keep the timestamps when you copy the transcript and ask ChatGPT to "keep the original timestamps" for each point, as in the study-notes prompt above. For chapter markers you can paste into your own video description, use a [YouTube timestamp generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-timestamp-generator). --- url: https://exemplary.ai/blog/podcast-audiogram-ai title: "Best Way to Promote Your Podcast With Audiogram" description: "The struggle is real for podcasters: how to be heard?

Those are different promises. Start by deciding whether you need automatic discovery, an unbranded export and an allowance that repeats. Few tools provide all three without qualifications. This comparison uses documented features and current export rules. The paid routes are named explicitly where free access only helps you evaluate the workflow. It does not claim that we tested every tool or measured a universal winner. Our [free AI clipping guide](https://exemplary.ai/blog/best-free-ai-clipping-tools) focuses even more narrowly on clean output. ## Compare the options | Tool | Start here when you need | Free or paid qualification | | --- | --- | --- | | Vizard | A different clipping and editor workflow | Watermarked free plan | | Klap | A clean initial evaluation | One free source video | | 2short.ai | Speech-rich captioned YouTube sources | Limited free analysis | | Descript | Deliberate transcript-led editing | Free exports watermarked | | Riverside | Clips from a recording workspace | Watermarked free recording | | Clipchamp | Manual selection with clean free output | Free; premium assets gated | ## What to compare **Decide what must be free.** Free signup, free analysis and a clean downloadable clip can be separate entitlements. A trial is useful for evaluation, while a recurring allowance is what supports an ongoing schedule. **Compare a full source-to-export cycle.** A convincing preview may become less useful when you correct captions, repair a crop or download the final file. Include those steps in the trial and check whether the next source receives the same offer. **Distinguish discovery from editing.** A transcript editor or manual timeline can be a better alternative when you already know the moment. It replaces the finishing workflow without pretending to offer identical automatic highlight selection. ## The shortlist ### Vizard: a different clipping and editor workflow AI clipping with an editor; its free tier has watermarked exports and short retention. [Vendor documentation](https://vizard.ai/pricing) Compare Vizard when you still want automatic discovery but the review experience is your main concern. Use the same authorized source and examine a difficult speaker change or screen demonstration. Judge whether repairing the candidate is manageable, not whether it receives an appealing automated score. Branded free exports and limited retention are important when colleagues review clips later rather than immediately. ### Klap: a clean initial evaluation Clipping existing footage with a one-video free allowance and clean exports. [Vendor documentation](https://klap.app/tools/ai-clip-generator) Klap is a candidate when you need to see an unbranded output before committing. Its one-source offer lets you evaluate a representative recording, but it is not a recurring unlimited alternative to OpusClip. Keep the sample realistic: include the camera movement and conversational structure of your usual uploads. Regular production needs a separate decision about ongoing source allowances and paid export access. ### 2short.ai: speech-rich captioned YouTube sources Speech-led YouTube clipping, captions and watermark-free exports; captions are required on the source. [Vendor documentation](https://2short.ai/pricing) Investigate 2short.ai if your input is a spoken YouTube video with captions and a small recurring analysis allowance could fit your schedule. It documents clean exports, but the pricing page presents inconsistent allowance figures across sections. Verify the actual account entitlement before making a production promise. A silent demonstration or captionless source requires another route rather than forcing it through a speech-led workflow. ### Descript: deliberate transcript-led editing Transcript-based audio/video editing, captions and AI tools; watermark-free video export requires a paid plan. [Vendor documentation](https://www.descript.com/pricing) Choose an editor alternative when a producer already knows the argument or answer to extract. Text selection can help locate the passage, but the final cut still needs listening and visual review. Check whether the opening retains the original question and any important qualification. Its free access should not be confused with paid clean video export. This is an alternative editing approach, not an identical automated discovery service. ### Riverside: clips from a recording workspace Remote recording, separate tracks and Magic Clips; the free plan exports with Riverside branding. [Vendor documentation](https://riverside.fm/pricing) If the episode starts in Riverside, consider its Magic Clips workflow before adding an independent clipping upload. The decision is about reducing a recurring handoff while keeping useful source recordings organized. Test the actual recording-to-download process on the selected plan. Free video branding and recording entitlements remain relevant; a recording subscription does not automatically establish every clip-export right. ### Clipchamp: manual selection with clean free output Free video editing and watermark-free export, with automatic captions and downloadable SRT subtitles. [Vendor documentation](https://clipchamp.com/en/pricing/) Use Clipchamp when you know the timestamp and prefer direct control over the story. Select the excerpt, adjust the frame and correct captions yourself. Its clean free export is an honest fallback if automatic discovery is unnecessary, provided you avoid premium project assets. Compare the total finishing effort with the alternatives rather than treating the absence of an AI highlight score as a production failure. ## A practical evaluation workflow Choose a source that represents the problem with your current workflow. Write a small review brief: the complete idea to preserve, the difficult framing moment and the final output required. Process or edit that same passage in the shortlisted alternatives and save the exported files. Review those files without the product dashboards open. Check the first sentence, the complete thought, speaker framing and corrected caption text. Then return to the editing workflow and make one realistic revision. The best replacement is the one that improves the specific handoff you repeatedly struggle with. Our [long-video-to-Shorts guide](https://exemplary.ai/blog/turn-long-videos-into-shorts) covers the underlying selection process. ## FAQ ### Which OpusClip alternative is free without a watermark? Klap documents a one-source clean offer, while 2short.ai documents a limited speech-led clean-export route with source-caption requirements. Manual editing in Clipchamp can also produce clean free output. These are different allowances and levels of automation. Check the complete download path and whether the offer repeats before planning a regular schedule. ### Should I switch because another tool promises more viral clips? A marketing claim or automated score does not establish your audience’s response. Compare complete excerpts and the review work they require. A more controllable workflow can be valuable even if it generates fewer candidates. Use your own published account data to evaluate audience interest after the content has been edited and approved. ## Which option to choose Choose Vizard for a different clip-review experience, Klap or 2short.ai for qualified clean-export evaluations, Descript for deliberate transcript selection and Riverside for a recording handoff. Keep manual editing available when precision matters. For transcripts and written repurposing alongside clips, [Exemplary AI](https://exemplary.ai/) is our own option; [pricing](https://exemplary.ai/pricing) states its separate credit and export limits.
