Why this exists
Getting to something postable takes too many tools.
Cutting, reframing to vertical, subtitling and adding sound usually means four separate steps. Shortcut Studio makes that one road instead of four.
Screen
What it looks like.
This is a development build. The final screen may differ at release.
What it does
What it does.
Vertical reframing
Converts to 9:16 with adjustable position and zoom.
Transcription and subtitles
Speech becomes text, wrapped for readability.
Subtitle editing
Wording, timing, typeface, size and position.
Sound effects
Royalty-free effects placed at the start or at transitions.
Export
Writes 1080×1920 MP4, and can queue several jobs.
When you would use it
Situations, not features.
Cutting from a long stream
Take out the part worth showing.
Subtitles for sound-off viewing
So the point still lands.
Batch work
Queue exports and take the wait in one block.
Keep the source
The original video is not modified.
How it goes
The basic flow.
You should be able to guess the next step without reading a manual.
- 1Load a video
Pick the long source file.
- 2Choose the moment
Take a suggestion or set the range yourself.
- 3Export vertical
Check subtitles and sound, then write the MP4.
The source video is never rewritten.
The video you load is not modified; edits are stored separately. Where processing happens, whether anything is sent externally and whether anything is stored will be described here at release.
Questions
Common questions.
Yes. Suggestions are a starting point and the range is adjustable.
Speech is transcribed automatically; wording and timing can be edited.
