A Shorts engine that ships every single week.

The opportunity

Shorts are the front door to your whole channel.

Shorts appear in a dedicated feed that shows videos to people who have never heard of you, and each one can link viewers to a related long-form video on your channel. Most creators already sit on hours of footage that could become Shorts. What is missing is a system that turns it into a steady, high-quality publishing rhythm.

01
Discovery beyond subscribers
The Shorts feed recommends videos by interest, not only to people who already follow you.
02
A second life
Long-form videos, podcasts and webinars hold dozens of moments that work on their own.
03
A bridge to long-form
Related-video links and recognisable series give Shorts viewers a reason to watch more.

Long-form cut-down pipeline

Original vertical scripts, voiceover or on-screen text, B-roll and motion graphics made for 9:16 from the first frame.

Captions, sound & retention edit

Burned-in captions, pacing cuts, licensed music and sound design tuned for the first second and the loop.

Titles, links & scheduling

Titles, descriptions, related-video links to your long-form and a batch publishing calendar in YouTube Studio.

Shorts analytics review

A monthly read of viewed versus swiped away, retention and subscribers gained, feeding the next batch.

Examples & use cases

What it looks like in practice.

Illustrative scenarios based on the kinds of projects we deliver. Every result depends on the niche, the offer and the work put in.

Long-form tech reviewer01

An archive of reviews, reborn as vertical clips.

A reviewer had years of detailed videos but no time to cut Shorts. We built a monthly cut-down pipeline that turns verdicts and comparisons into captioned clips linking back to the full review.

Cut-downsRelated linksMonthly batches

Language-learning channel02

One phrase a day, in a recognisable format.

A faceless language channel wanted daily presence without daily stress. A text-led Shorts series with licensed native-speaker audio is now produced in calm monthly batches.

Native ShortsSeries formatBatch production

Fitness equipment brand03

Product demos rebuilt for the vertical feed.

A brand had horizontal demo videos that never worked on mobile. We reframed them into short, captioned how-to clips that each answer one customer question.

FAQ

Ask us anything

Can you make Shorts from videos I have already published?

Yes, and it is often the best place to start. We find moments that stand on their own, reframe them for vertical, add captions and link each Short back to the full video where it helps.

Are repurposed or AI-assisted Shorts allowed?

Repurposing your own content is fine. YouTube’s reused and inauthentic content policies target re-uploads of other people’s work and mass-produced, repetitive videos, so every Short we make is edited with original value and a clear point of view. Realistic synthetic media is disclosed in YouTube Studio.

Can you use trending music in my Shorts?

We only use audio you are allowed to use: YouTube’s audio library, licensed tracks or original sound. Unlicensed songs can trigger Content ID claims that send revenue to the rights holder or limit where a Short is shown.

Will Shorts grow my channel or get it monetized?

We can’t promise views, subscribers or monetization, because the feed decides who sees each Short. What we do promise is consistent, well-made Shorts, honest reporting on what holds attention and steady improvements to every batch.

How do you price Shorts production?

By monthly volume and source material. Cut-downs from footage you already have take less work than native Shorts, which need scripting, voice and assets. You agree a fixed monthly scope up front, so there are no surprise invoices.
