🎬 The answer, without the ninety minutes around it

Pull the Quotable Answers Out of
Any Long Interview

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.

Built for long-form interviews

You knew the good answer when you heard it. Now find it again.

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.

  • Ranked shortlist first, then search the tape by subject yourself
  • Ten topic searches per interview, none of them billed
  • Word-synced transcript panel plus a full script download as .txt
  • Every cut snapped to a word boundary, so no answer starts mid-word
  • Trim each clip out to ten seconds either side if the setup needs it

Search, do not scrub

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.

The script comes with it

A word-synced transcript you can click through, plus a plain .txt export. Pull exact wording for a written quote without transcribing anything twice.

Room around each cut

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.

Framing you set

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.

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.

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.

It reads the transcript, not the picture. The model looks for a passage that a stranger could follow with no setup: the question landing, the answer arriving, and a clean end rather than a trail-off into the next topic. Cut points are snapped to real word boundaries so an answer never starts halfway through a word.
Yes, and on an interview that is usually the main way you will use it. Once the video is processed, type a subject — a person, a decision, a controversy — and it searches the transcript and returns clips where that subject is actually discussed. Up to ten searches per interview, none of them billed.
You get nothing back for that search, which is the correct answer. The model is instructed to return an empty result rather than force a weak match, so a search that comes back empty tells you something true about the tape.
Yes. The editor shows a word-synced transcript you can search and click through, and the full script downloads as a plain text file — useful for pulling a written quote, checking exact wording, or drafting the article that goes with the video.
No. There is no speaker tracking and no automatic reframing. Framing is a crop you set — full or fit, with a focal point, or a crop rectangle you draw — and it holds for the whole clip. For a locked-off two-chair setup that is straightforward; for a fast-cutting multi-camera edit, expect to set the crop per clip.
Two hours of source. If your tape runs longer, the first two hours are what gets processed and charged, so split it into parts if the later material is where the news is.
Up to twenty per interview, fewer when the conversation does not hold twenty standalone answers. Each clip runs twenty to ninety seconds.
Everything you export is yours to publish and monetize. What you are permitted to publish from a given interview is between you and whoever you interviewed — GhostShorts does not clear rights or releases.
