    Robot That Keeps Failing Its Front Flip

    Why. Hilarious moment-of-failure clip with genuine reaction. The robot keeps falling, the reviewer keeps trying, and the physical comedy carries the moment.

  1. 01

    Paste the video

    A YouTube link is enough. Or upload the master file for the cleanest crop.

  2. 02

    Shorts are cut, framed and captioned

    Each moment is snapped to sentence edges, cropped to 9:16 around the person, and captioned word by word.

  3. 03

Feed the shelf from the back catalogue

Videos that finished their long-form run still hold shorts. Run them through, queue a month, and the shelf posts itself while you make the next long one.

Shorts that hold up on their own

A short is watched by someone who never saw the long video. Each one is checked for exactly that: does it make sense with nothing before it? The ones that do not are dropped, so the shelf carries only clips that land.

The crop stays on you

A face tracker follows you through cuts and camera moves and picks one steady crop per shot. Product on the desk, hands in the shot, a walk to the window: the frame keeps the subject. The same tracking on YouTube uploads.

Captions for people watching muted

Word-level captions with the current word lit, from ten styles. They are burned into the file, so every platform shows the same thing. More on captions.

Metered on hours of video

Cliplala meters the video you upload, not the shorts it makes. Lite is $14 a month for 4 hours; Pro is $78 for 25. Every plan posts to 10+ platforms, and every plan from Starter up includes seats for a team. The first 60 minutes are free, with a small watermark on the clips; paid plans have none. Full pricing.

What it does

  • Link or file. Paste a YouTube link, or upload the file straight from your machine.
  • Bad cuts dropped. A short that starts or ends mid-thought does not reach you.
  • Face tracking. The crop follows the person, through cuts and camera moves.
  • Burned-in captions. Word-level, active word highlighted, ten styles. Rendered into the file.
  • Ranked with reasons. Every short says why it was picked, so you can disagree with it.
  • Queue to 10+ platforms. Post from the results page. No export step.
  • Priced on hours. Metered on source video. From $14 a month for 4 hours.
  • 60 minutes free. No credit card. The free clips carry a small watermark; paid plans have none.

What it does not promise

  • A fixed number of shorts. De-duplication and the coherence check drop shorts on purpose; a tight talk yields more than a rambling one.
  • A score that predicts views. Every short gets a rank and a written reason, and you can disagree with it.
  • A time. Long sources take longer; you see shorts as they finish.

Claims on this page come from what ships today. If a row above says it, the engine does it.

Questions

How do I make YouTube Shorts from a long video?

Paste the YouTube link or upload the file. Cliplala cuts the moments that stand alone into 9:16 shorts with captions, ranks them, and lets you queue them to YouTube Shorts and 10+ other platforms through Schedulala.

Can I post the shorts to YouTube from here?

Yes. Connect your channel in Schedulala once and the results page queues straight to it, along with TikTok, Reels and the rest. No download and re-upload.

How many shorts do I get from one video?

It depends on the video. The engine keeps the moments that stand on their own and drops near-duplicates and cuts that start or end mid-thought, so a tight talk can return more usable shorts than a rambling one. You can set a target count and a clip length before it runs.

How long are the shorts?

Between 15 and 90 seconds by default, snapped to sentence edges so nothing is cut mid-word. You can set the range before the run.

Can I change a short before posting?

Yes. You can fix a caption, change the caption style, swap the layout, or drop the clip. Then queue it, or download it.

Is the AI shorts maker free?

Your first 60 minutes of source video are free with no credit card. Those shorts carry a small Cliplala watermark. Paid plans start at $14 a month for 4 hours of video and have no watermark.

What can I upload?

A YouTube link, or a file: mp4, mov, m4v, mkv or webm. Uploads go from your browser straight to private storage, so a long file does not have to pass through a form.

Is my video used to train anything?

No. Your uploads are used to make your shorts and for nothing else. Source files are deleted after 30 days; the shorts stay.
