Create YouTube Shorts from your long videos, by content type

What this section covers

Every page here starts from a long video you already have: a podcast episode, a recorded gaming session, an episode of a series. Each one explains how Stratos·Clip turns it into vertical Shorts, ready to post on YouTube, and what changes for that content type: the framing, the template, the settings to make, the rights to check.

Two pages sit outside that split. Auto-post YouTube Shorts covers what happens once the Shorts are ready: the channel’s queue, its pace, its runway. The Shorts calculator tells you, before you start a video, how many Shorts it will give and how many credits it will use.

To get going, you add a video by its YouTube link or by importing the file.

What Stratos·Clip does the same way everywhere

For every video, detection scores each moment on seven criteria: hook, emotional peak, standalone value, shareability, debate, density, quote. The moments it keeps are reframed vertically, then captioned word by word. The framing itself depends on the template: the person speaking for a podcast, the facecam and the game for a gaming session.

The yield is published before you start anything: a 10-minute video gives about 6 Shorts, a one-hour video about 16 Shorts for 22 credits, and the longest up to 24. So you know how many days of posting a video buys you.

Once rendered, Shorts join their channel’s queue. You set it up once: fixed time slots, or a number of posts per day, up to 10. It takes ready Shorts whatever video they come from, and alternates between your sources. On our own channels, that same queue posts about 500 Shorts every week, per the October 2026 count.

Three limits apply on every page. Stratos·Clip posts to YouTube Shorts only. You remain responsible for the videos you add: a Content ID claim applies to the video the channel posts. And the interface is in French, with detection and titles only measured on videos in French so far.

The YouTube rules behind all these pages have their own guides: how long a Short can be, the worldwide block on claimed Shorts past one minute, reused content, and scheduling a Short. Each use-case page applies them to its content without repeating everything.

How to pick your page

Pick by content: the content decides the template.

• Podcast, interview, multi-guest show: the Podcast and interview template follows the person speaking. See Podcast to Shorts.
• Gaming session or recorded stream with a facecam: the Gaming template finds the facecam and the gameplay, then recomposes them vertically with no manual setup. See Gaming clips.
• TV series or fiction episodes: the TV series and fiction template cuts episode by episode, guided by a series bible that describes characters, tone and continuity. See TV series and fiction Shorts.
• Reaction video: the Reaction template keeps the video you comment on and your reaction readable together. The page also covers what YouTube applies to rights on someone else’s video. See Reaction clips for YouTube Shorts.
• Footage you do not want to reframe: Full frame keeps the whole original video in the center, over a blurred background.

Is your question about pace rather than content? How many Shorts a day, without scheduling anything by hand: the Auto-post YouTube Shorts page answers it and works out a full month. Want to know a video’s output before you start it: open the Shorts calculator.

Two pages start from your situation rather than a content type. You run several channels, for yourself or for clients: Manage multiple YouTube Shorts channels shows all of them in one view, each with its own queue and settings. Your channel has years of videos already posted: Turn old YouTube videos into Shorts explains where to start and why launching everything at once is a mistake.

If you post to TikTok or Instagram first, this section will only half serve you: a tool that posts to those networks is the better choice.
