Clip planning that starts with the hook
Turn long-form videos into a shortlist of viable shorts with structured prompts, clip grouping, and reusable edit ideas that stay close to the original footage.
Product
A creator OS for turning footage into finished shorts.
Shortsmith combines planning, editing, metadata, and publishing around the real workflow of short-form creators, without forcing heavy video rendering through your browser.
Local rendering where the big files belong
The desktop companion handles FFmpeg, yt-dlp, and final 9:16 rendering locally so cloud costs stay controlled and creators keep full-speed access to their media.
One bank for metadata and publishing
Every finished short lands in a cloud bank with editable title, description, Instagram caption, hashtags, retention policy, and per-platform publish status.
Per-user publishing connections, not shared secrets
YouTube and Instagram connections are handled per creator account, with encrypted server-side token storage and publish jobs that track partial success instead of hiding it.
