About shortshort

shortshort is a video editing web service operated from France by an independent developer. It selects passages from longer recordings, reframes them as vertical clips and adds word-timed captions. It supports downloadable MP4 files and scheduled publishing to YouTube and TikTok.

The privacy policy places stored files and account records in Frankfurt, with Creator and Studio rendering in Europe. AI analysis sends video, frames, audio or transcripts to Google Gemini or OpenAI outside that EU region. Exported projects join the public community by default; paid plans offer controls to keep them private.

Features

  • Convert long recordings into vertical 9:16 clips with automated selection and reframing.
  • Add captions timed to individual words and export clips as MP4 files.
  • Schedule publishing to connected YouTube and TikTok accounts.
  • Use the manual editor and MP4 export without AI analysis or an account.

Questions & Answers

2 questions

Does all processing stay in the EU?

No. Supabase stores files and account records in Frankfurt, and Creator and Studio rendering runs in Europe. AI analysis sends the required video, frames, audio or transcript to Google Gemini or OpenAI outside that region. The privacy policy advises using the manual editor instead when a recording must not leave the EU.

Are exported videos private by default?

No. The terms say an exported project is published to the community unless the user has chosen otherwise. Publication exposes the source video, shorts, transcript and display name. Paid plans provide controls to keep projects out of the gallery. Unpublishing cannot retrieve copies already downloaded by others.
