How do I make Shorts from a YouTube video?
Use the YouTube → Vertical Short workflow. Detect the 5-8 hook-dense moments, reframe 16:9 → 9:16 with subject tracking, burn captions, export at the YouTube Shorts preset.
Detail
The Long YouTube Video → Vertical Short workflow re-uses the same Podcast → Shorts cut-selection logic, but for long-form video. Safe-zone, captions and export preset adapt to YouTube Shorts.
