Prompt

Tighten this YouTube video, add captions, then make a vertical Short from the best moment.

Result

A long-form edit and social-ready cut in the same editor.

The pain

One upload can turn into three separate editing workflows.

01
Long-form cuts and Shorts live in different tools.
02
Captions are added only after the main edit is exported.
03
Free editors brand the final upload or restrict useful output.
How it works

Three moves. One edit.

01
Import your footage

Add a talking-head video, tutorial, podcast, gameplay clip or product recording.

02
Build the YouTube cut

Trim, arrange, title, caption and mix the video on the browser timeline.

03
Export and repurpose

Export up to 1080p free, or create a vertical Short from the same source.

Questions

Before you edit

Can I edit YouTube videos for free?

Yes. Pluged AI's free plan includes the browser timeline editor, core editing tools, auto captions, creator templates, 1080p export and limited monthly AI usage.

Can I make YouTube Shorts too?

Yes. You can set a vertical canvas, trim clips for short-form pacing and add captions for a YouTube Short.

Will the export have a Pluged AI watermark?

No. Pluged AI does not add its watermark to the exported video.

Make the main video once, then keep publishing from it.
