Paste the YouTube link and AI reads the full transcript for the answers that stand on their own. Search the tape by subject, cut on real word boundaries, take the script with you. First clip free.
An interview is not a monologue. The value is scattered through it in single answers, and the reason those answers do not get posted is that finding them again means rewatching the whole thing with a scrub bar and a growing sense of resentment.
GhostShorts works from the transcript, so the tape becomes searchable text with frame-accurate timings behind it. The first pass hands you a ranked shortlist of the answers that make sense pulled out of context. The second pass is you: type the subject you remember, and it returns the moments where that subject was genuinely discussed.
If it was never really discussed, you get nothing back. That is deliberate — the model is told to return an empty result rather than dress up a weak match, so an empty search is information rather than noise.


Type the subject and get the answers about it. The whole transcript is indexed the moment the interview is processed, so the tape stops being linear.
A word-synced transcript you can click through, plus a plain .txt export. Pull exact wording for a written quote without transcribing anything twice.
Every clip keeps ten seconds of padding on each side, so if the answer really started with the question, you can trim outward to include it.
No speaker tracking — that does not exist here and we will not pretend otherwise. You choose full or fit, set a focal point, or draw a crop, and it holds for the clip.
The tape is long because it has to be. The clip is short because that is what travels.
Any YouTube link, up to two hours of tape. It is transcribed with a timestamp on every word.
Take the ranked shortlist as it comes, or search the transcript for the subject you actually need and pull the answers about it.
Seventeen caption styles, a crop you control, and a clean 1080p MP4 with no watermark. Download the script as text while you are there.
Voice, images, scripts and captions are included on every plan. AI credits pay for motion and premium models — nothing else touches them.

Real results. Real reach. Built with GhostShorts.
Made a Reddit story short in the middle of my chem class. 100K views before I got home.
Honestly thought this was just another overhyped AI tool. But it actually delivers and is super easy to use. I already created 10 shorts in 1 day.
Tried a couple viral formats on the app. A month later... 10 million views. This app is stupid easy to use.
Making edits CapCut felt homeworkish. GhostShorts is easy af, almost feels likes I am on autopilot.
All I do is copy a Reddit post, paste it in, export, done. It's stupid easy.
Used to doom scroll all night. Now I post the same type of videos I used to binge.
I run a few fake text story channels. Jesus I've hit over 5 million likes on just one of my channels alone. It's ridiculous.
GhostShorts saved me countless hours of editing time. Highly recommended!
I cut my content creation time by 80% after switching to GhostShorts. It's the only tool that actually keeps up with how fast I work.

The same template runs through the GhostShorts API and MCP server. Connect it once and ask your assistant for a video; it comes back as a finished MP4 on the same plan and credits.
