One long video.
Clips that stand on their own.

Katto finds moments in your video, prepares them in vertical, and adds captions. You watch, adjust, then export.

Before you start, see what the result can look like.

You keep the last word.

An interesting moment in the source is not always a good clip. Check the start, the framing and the ending before you publish.

Keep the clips you like.

Export the clips you kept for Shorts, Reels or TikTok. You don't have to keep every proposal.

Choosing the moments

Understand why
a clip surfaces.

Katto shows each moment with its transcript and four criteria: Hook, Flow, Value and Trend. You can compare the proposals before opening the editor.

Try it with my video
Show, don't promise

A result to examine.
Not a promise of virality.

The point of this page: show a full source, the clips you get, and the adjustments actually needed.

  • The moment makes sense without the original video.
  • The subject stays visible in the vertical frame.
  • The captions are readable and correct.
  • The end of the clip doesn't cut off an idea.
  • One measured run: ~5 minutes of worker time produced 8 finished clips from a 20-minute video. Queue and download time vary, so this is not an end-to-end guarantee.

Before you run your video

A few answers.
No shortcuts.

How many clips will I get?+

It depends on the source and the moments kept. The three examples shown here are a choice for the page, not a yield guarantee. Katto scales the number of clips with the length of the video.

Will the clips be ready in two minutes?+

This page does not promise a delay. On one measured run, about 5 minutes of worker time produced 8 clips from a 20-minute video. Queue and download time vary with the source, so treat it as a data point, not a guarantee.

Why is there still editing to do?+

Automatic selection does not guarantee a moment is self-contained, or that every caption and crop is right. The editor lets you check and adjust the clips before export.

Which sources can I use?+

Paste a YouTube link, or a link from Twitch, Vimeo, Rumble or Zoom, or upload a file directly. Videos up to 90 minutes are supported.

Where is the step-by-step guide?+

Read the Katto YouTube Shorts guide.
