Automatically create Youtube shorts with 2short AI: Generate AI shorts from long Youtube videos

Youtube shorts are a video format with a wide reach – especially if you place YouTube shorts ads via Google Ads and can generate a good 1,000 views for €1. But first the Youtube shorts have to be created. If you produce long videos in English, you can use the application 2short AI to create exciting shorts automatically.

Are Youtube Shorts worth it for your Youtube channel? Definitely , because they have a wide range and you can use them as an add-on to your existing videos, cutting long videos into short, 60-second clips. Above all, you can provide enormous reach for your channel with Youtube Shorts Ads, since Youtube Shorts are much cheaper in advertising on Google Ads than standard videos. With Youtube Shorts Ads, if implemented correctly, you can quickly achieve a CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) of €0.50 and a CPV (cost per view) of €0.001 to even €0.0005, which means: 1,000 to 2,000 Views for only €1. Here are the  instructions for placing Youtube Shorts Ads.

But for that, the YouTube shorts have to be created first. You can either shoot completely new Youtube shorts in portrait format yourself – or highlight the most exciting parts of your existing, longer videos by cutting the most important parts into 60-second shorts videos. But that’s always a hassle: The application 2shorts AI enables you to automatically find exciting excerpts – and even incorporates the texts into the video, which massively strengthen viewer loyalty.

Instructions: How to create automatic Youtube shorts with 2 short AI

First, go to the 2short AI webstie and enter the link of your standard long Youtube video. Attention: Currently (early 2023) the Youtube video must contain automatic or manual subtitles in English, otherwise (in other languages) the application cannot create automated Youtube shorts from it. The English language input is important because 2short AI uses it to create captions – i.e. subtitles integrated into the video, which massively strengthen viewer loyalty and arouse the viewer’s interest in watching even more content on your YouTube channel.

In 2short AI, enter the link of your long youtube video from which you want to AI generate a youtube shorts video.

Automatic video section suggestions are generated by 2short AI

Now 2short AI creates automatic suggestions for the sections for Youtube shorts that are max 60 seconds long. The texts that are displayed to you in the tiles describe the passages from the long original video that are highlighted in the Youtube shorts video and for which the subtitles appear. You can also have additional suggestions generated if the current ones don’t seem right to you. To do this, click on “ Generate more shorts ”.

In 2short AI, choose the video text suggestion that suits you best for your AI-generated Youtube Shorts video.

Edit automatically created Youtube Shorts video with 2short AI

Now you can edit your automatically created Youtube Shorts video with 2shorts AI: In the right toolbar you can choose in which design your lettering for viewer loyalty should appear. Under “Layers” you can also use the different colored interfaces to specify which frames from the main video should be used in portrait format for the Youtube shorts video. You can set the times under “Input” for the main video if you want to set multiple layers for the frames under Output. The layers can be resized by clicking on the square at the bottom right of the rectangular selection of the left main video.

Edit your final video with 2short AI and by specifying how your subtitles should look like for viewer retention which frames from the original video should look like in the Youtube shorts.
