Use case

One upload. A week of shorts.

Every long video hides five shorts and a better thumbnail. Aperture mines the transcript for moments, reframes them vertical, captions them in your style, and renders the batch.

The repurposing engine

Catalog mining, in four moves.

01
Pick the source

Any video in your library — a webinar, a podcast, last year's documentary.

02
Get ranked moments

The highlight engine scores the transcript and proposes the short-able spans, best first.

03
Reframe to 9:16

One preset recomposes for vertical; fine-tune transforms per clip if you care to.

04
Caption & batch-render

Styled burn-in, 9:16 export, done for the week. The YouTube kit bundles the master, .srt/.vtt caption sidecars, description, and hashtags in one download.

Extras that compound

Thumbnails and hooks, without the round-trip.

  • Thumbnails from the best frame

    Freeze any frame into a still, drop text over it, done — test three looks in one sitting.

  • Titles and hooks, drafted

    AI Studio reads the transcript and proposes lines worth testing.

  • Freeze-frame endings

    Hold the last frame for the subscribe card — one op.

  • Everything versions

    Each short is a sequence in the library, with review links for your editor or channel manager.

Your catalog called. It is a gold mine.

We brought the shovel.

Ranked highlights, vertical reframe, styled captions — a week of shorts from one upload, rendered while you plan the next one.

Why creators switch.

  • The transcript does the scrubbing — ranked highlights, not rewatching
  • Publish straight to YouTube — OAuth consent, resumable upload of the latest master (needs the operator's Google OAuth client — set it once in Admin → YouTube)
  • Loudness-normalized audio at export — −14 LUFS / −1.5 dBTP, platform-ready (measured −13.8)
  • Vertical reframe is a preset, not a re-edit
  • Captions match the voice by construction
  • Batch review via one guest link before anything publishes
  • Rendering happens on the server while you record the next video
