From a link
Drop a YouTube video, stream VOD or podcast. ShortForge finds the moments worth clipping and cuts them vertical with burned-in captions.
ShortForge clips long videos into vertical, captioned shorts — then posts them straight to your TikTok and Instagram. YouTube Shorts come out as a one-click export. Every frame stays editable.
Nobody tells you this about the deep forest at 3am
Three ways in
Most tools stop at a locked template. Every short here lands as a real draft — rewrite the captions, regenerate any visual, swap the voice, change the caption style.
