How does Timbre's Shorts Generator create engaging short-form content?
Timbre’s AI turns your long videos into instant viral magnets. It hunts down the most gripping, high-retention moments, then slices them into scroll-stopping clips. With smart vertical framing and auto-generated captions, your content is instantly optimized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Our AI reads every beat — speech, visuals, and flow — to craft shorts that hook fast, keep viewers watching, and drive engagement through the roof.
Can I create multiple shorts from one long video without editing experience?
Absolutely! Upload your long-form content and Timbre will generate multiple short clips automatically. You can set parameters like maximum number of clips, duration preferences, and aspect ratios (9:16 for TikTok/Instagram, 1:1 for square formats). No editing skills required - our AI handles all the technical work including transitions, timing, and optimal crop positioning.
What video formats and lengths work best for shorts generation?
Timbre supports all major video formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, etc.) and works optimally with videos between 5 minutes to 2 hours long. The AI performs best on content with clear speech, good lighting, and engaging moments like tutorials, presentations, interviews, or educational content. Longer source videos typically yield more diverse short clips.
How quickly can I get my generated shorts and download them?
Your shorts, ready in minutes — not hours. In just 3–8 minutes (depending on video length and complexity), Timbre’s AI delivers a full set of platform-ready clips. Watch real-time progress, then instantly preview, download individually, or grab them all in bulk. Every short is perfectly formatted and optimized for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts — ready to post the moment they’re done.
