ClipForge analyzes your YouTube videos and extracts the moments most likely to perform on Shorts, TikTok, and Reels — growing your audience across every platform.
The Shorts shelf is the fastest-growing discovery surface on YouTube, but creating Shorts from existing content takes time.
Audiences are on TikTok and Instagram too. Repurposing to every platform manually is a full-time job.
Without data, choosing which 30 seconds from a 20-minute video will perform is subjective and inconsistent.
Every detected clip receives a 0-100 virality score, read from the transcript, with the reason it was picked.
Automatic 9:16 center-crop reframing, caption generation, and YouTube Shorts-specific export presets.
Upload a 2-hour video and get export-ready clips faster than you could scrub through the timeline manually.
Claude predicts per-platform viral probability, estimates expected views, and recommends the optimal cross-posting order before you publish.
Apply brand kits, lower thirds, and caption styles consistently across every clip and platform.
Point ClipForge at an upload and it extracts the segments most likely to hold attention as standalone Shorts, formats them to 9:16, and captions them. Because Shorts subscribers now feed your main channel directly, the back catalogue you have already recorded is a Shorts library you have not published yet.
Every candidate clip carries a virality score broken into hook strength, emotional peak, pacing, and standalone value, so you triage a ranked list rather than scrub a timeline. You keep the final say, and the score is a prioritisation signal rather than a verdict.
No. Shorts and long-form are distributed by different surfaces, and a Short that earns a subscriber sends that person to your long-form catalogue. The failure mode is not cannibalisation, it is publishing clips that need context from the original video, which is exactly what standalone-value scoring is there to catch.
Three to five strong clips is typical from a 20-minute video, and 8 to 12 from an hour-long one. The limit is how many moments genuinely stand alone, which is fewer than most creators expect and is why volume-first extraction tends to underperform.
No. ClipForge exports each clip as a file, and you upload it to YouTube Shorts or anywhere else yourself, on every plan. Direct publishing is planned and is not available yet.

Links in Shorts descriptions and comments are not clickable. The related video link is the one built-in path from a Short to your long-form, and clips made outside YouTube Studio do not get it automatically.
