Three steps, one take
- 01
Upload a take or a long video
A short take becomes one Short. A long recording, up to an hour, becomes a full edit and a few Shorts.
- 02
Pick a style
Auteur cuts to the strongest line, builds visuals and adds captions sized for a phone screen.
- 03
Post to YouTube
makerzz writes a title and description from what you said, then uploads it to your channel now or on schedule.
Real renders, not mock-ups
Shorts viewers decide fast. These styles keep something new on screen every few seconds.
Shorts from your long videos
If you already film long YouTube videos, full edit mode cleans up the raw footage, adds captions and chapters, and pulls a few Shorts from the best moments. Each Short is reframed to 9:16 with its own captions.
Who it is for
YouTubers who want Shorts to grow a channel without a second editing job. Teachers and explainers who film long lessons. Founders who record demos and want short clips for the feed.
Shorts, Reels and TikToks share the same 9:16 shape, so one edit can go to all three. makerzz writes a separate title and caption for each one.
