What you get
- Two vertical clips with captions timed to each word and a hook.
- Picked from the transcript and loudness on any video, plus the chat replay on past streams.
- A small Crowdcut mark on the free clips; none on a plan.
Long videos and streams
The free demo takes videos up to 12 hours and clips the liveliest 30 minutes. On a plan the whole video is processed in 30-minute sections, timestamps viewers left in the comments are weighted higher, and several links at once make a series.
Uploading to YouTube
Crowdcut doesn't upload to YouTube through the API yet. On a plan, each approved Short comes as an export pack (MP4, title, description, tags) to upload in YouTube Studio, with a "Mark as posted" button to keep your queue right.
