One long video usually hides more than one short. The Recapo shorts generator treats your footage as a content pool: in a single pass it surfaces several distinct highlights, so a podcast episode, a stream replay, or a full tutorial becomes a queue of Shorts instead of one lucky clip.
Batch output only helps if it stays manageable. Generated clips land in a review queue where you approve, reorder, or drop each one, apply a shared caption style across the whole set, and export everything you kept — enough material to post daily from a single recording session.

One upload, a week of Shorts
Posting consistently is what grows short-form channels, and the bottleneck is rarely filming — it is cutting. Batch generation flips the ratio: record once, generate many, then spend your editing time only on the candidates worth keeping. A one-hour conversation routinely yields a handful of clips that work standalone.
- Each candidate covers a different moment, so clips do not cannibalize each other.
- Scores help you pick the strongest few when you only need three posts this week.
- Unused candidates stay in the project — come back for them next week.
Batch processing that keeps a series consistent
A clip series reads as a brand when every short shares the same look. Set the caption style once — font, position, color — and it applies across the batch; covers follow the same layout so thumbnails line up on your channel page. Individual clips can still be tweaked without breaking the set.
How to use the Recapo shorts generator
Three steps, fully in the cloud — nothing to install.
Step 1: Load your source
Upload one long video — or several at once with batch import — and let the AI transcribe and analyze everything in the background.
Step 2: Generate the clip batch
The generator proposes multiple distinct highlights per video, each pre-trimmed and scored, instead of stopping at a single best moment.
Step 3: Review the queue, export
Approve or drop each candidate, apply one caption style to the whole batch, then export the keepers as 9:16 shorts ready to schedule.
Frequently asked questions about the shorts generator
How many shorts can I get from one video?
There is no fixed number — it depends on the length and how dense the strong moments are. The generator proposes every candidate it scores well, and you decide how many make the cut.
Can I process several long videos at once?
Yes. Use batch import to queue multiple source videos; each one is analyzed and produces its own set of clip candidates in the same review queue.
Do all generated clips share the same caption style?
By default, yes — one style applied across the batch keeps the series consistent. You can still restyle or reposition captions on any individual clip before export.
What kind of source video works best with Shorts Generator?
A longer horizontal video with clear talking or action moments, such as a movie recap, commentary upload, or stream recording. The tool looks across that timeline for segments worth cutting into vertical Shorts.
How long are the clips it produces?
Each cut is trimmed to short-video length so it fits Shorts, Reels, and TikTok runtimes. You can nudge the in and out points afterward to tighten or extend a clip before exporting.
Does it crop my video to vertical automatically?
It frames the selected segments to a 9:16 vertical layout as part of generating each Short, and you can adjust the framing before export. This part of Recapo is still in development, so treat the auto-framing as a starting point to review.
