Shorts strategy
Why YouTube Shorts are essential for channel growth
YouTube Shorts receive billions of daily views and are the fastest-growing content format on the platform. Channels that post Shorts consistently see a measurable increase in subscriber growth and long-form video views. The Shorts shelf acts as a discovery engine, introducing your content to audiences who have never seen your channel.
Creating Shorts from existing long-form content is the most efficient strategy. You've already done the hard work of scripting, filming, and editing. Repurposing that content into Shorts multiplies your output without multiplying your effort.
Choppity automates the entire process. Upload a long video, and the AI delivers a batch of Short-ready clips — each with captions, vertical framing, and optimised timing.
AI detection
How Choppity finds the best moments for Shorts
Not every segment of a long video works as a Short. The best Shorts have a hook in the first second, deliver value quickly, and end on a satisfying note. Choppity's AI is trained to recognise these narrative patterns.
The AI evaluates speech content, tonal shifts, and energy curves to identify self-contained segments that stand alone as compelling short-form content. Each suggestion includes a transcript preview and engagement score.
You stay in control. Review the suggestions, tweak timing with the text-based editor, and select which clips to export. The AI handles the tedious work; you make the creative decisions.
Export
Export Shorts that look native to YouTube
Choppity's YouTube Shorts export preset handles every technical requirement automatically. Clips are rendered at 1080×1920 in 9:16 format with a maximum duration of 60 seconds — exactly what YouTube recommends.
Animated captions are positioned within the safe zone so they're never obscured by YouTube's UI elements. Speaker tracking keeps presenters centred, and auto-reframing adjusts dynamically when the active speaker changes.
Batch export lets you render all your selected clips at once. Download them and upload to YouTube Studio, or schedule them over the coming days to maintain a consistent posting cadence.

"The Choppity team have been shipping new updates to the product which I am quite happy about. It's getting faster and they are also giving us the features we've been asking for!"
Amy L.
Finance creator
"In the past I've tried to get my YouTube video editor to create mass amount of short form content, but they struggled. Economically it didn't make sense and the quality wasn't great. Choppity has been an INCREDIBLE asset in scaling up my short-form video reach. Having ALL the clips automatically clipped, styled and ready to publish has been the biggest lever to growing my businesses."
