A built-in video analyzer reads the subtitles and selects three 30-60 second segments based on core messages, emotional impact, curiosity, and practical value.

It uses yt-dlp to download videos and subtitles, and FFmpeg to crop, resize, and burn subtitles into the final clips.
Do I need video editing skills to use it?▼
No. You only paste a YouTube link, and the finished Shorts are saved to the shorts_final folder with styled subtitles included.
