What the long video to shorts gives you.
Face-aware speaker framing
When the conversation moves between speakers, the frame follows the person talking instead of locking to the center of the original shot.
Multiple social-ready MP4 clips
One export session produces a batch you can schedule across YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok rather than a single clip.
Questions, answered.
Which platforms are supported?
Exports are designed for vertical destinations such as YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok.
Does it simply split the video evenly?
No. Reelsmith looks for complete, meaningful moments rather than cutting at arbitrary timestamps.
What export size do the Shorts use?
Clips are produced in a vertical 9:16 frame, the working format all three major short-form feeds are built around.
Do I need to re-record in vertical?
No. Reframing exists precisely so landscape footage you already have can be reused without a second shoot.
