Can ViddyFlow convert any YouTube video to Shorts?

Yes. Paste any youtube.com or youtu.be URL and ViddyFlow will generate 5 vertical clips ready for YouTube Shorts. Works with gaming videos, commentary, vlogs, podcasts, and more.

Do the output clips have burned-in captions?

Clips are delivered without burned-in captions. You can add captions quickly using YouTube's built-in short editor, TikTok's caption tool, or CapCut (free) before uploading.

How long does it take to convert a YouTube video?

Processing time depends on video length and the selected speed tier. A typical 30-minute video processes in 5-10 minutes.

Can I also get a highlight reel alongside the Shorts?

Yes. Every ViddyFlow run generates both a full highlight reel and 5 vertical shorts from the same video — packaged together in one job.
