# Turn your Twitter videos into YouTube Shorts

Drop in a video from X \(Twitter\). Cliphi finds the best moment, crops it to vertical, and adds the captions and music for you.

## How it works

1. **Paste your X link** Drop in the link to any video post on X, formerly Twitter. Cliphi pulls the video and gets to work.
2. **AI finds and reframes the moment** Cliphi finds the part worth keeping, crops it to vertical, and keeps the subject in frame so nothing important gets cut off.
3. **Post to YouTube Shorts** Each clip comes out vertical and inside the Shorts length limit, with captions on screen and a title and description written for you. Publish from Cliphi or download it.

## Why Cliphi

- **Save the clip before it scrolls past** Video on X moves fast and gets buried. Pull the good ones out and give them a second life on the feeds built for short video.
- **No watermark** The clip exports clean, with no app logo, so it does not get treated as a repost on the platform you move it to.
- **Keeps working after you post** A written title and description help a Short get found in search and on the Shorts shelf, so it can keep pulling views weeks later instead of dying in a day.

## Move a video off X and onto the feeds built for it

X is good at surfacing a video for a day and then burying it. A clip that did well in the timeline is usually gone by the next morning, even though the same moment could keep working for weeks on TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. The format is the problem too. A video on X is often wide or square and made to be watched in the timeline, while short-form feeds are tall and watched on mute.

Cliphi bridges that. Paste the link to a video post on X and it pulls the video, finds the part worth keeping, and crops it to a tall 9:16 frame with the subject centered. Captions get added so the clip works without sound, and a music bed is matched to the mood.

What comes out is ready to post: the right vertical size, captions burned in, no watermark, and a caption written for wherever you are sending it. Download it or publish to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts from Cliphi, and give a moment that already worked once a much longer life.

## Sized for the Shorts shelf

Shorts has its own rules. A clip has to be vertical and under three minutes, and the first couple of seconds decide whether someone watches or swipes away. Cliphi opens on the moment, keeps the framing tall, and burns in captions so the clip reads even on mute.

YouTube leans on text more than other platforms, so Cliphi writes a title and a description too. That matters because a Short can show up in search and on the shelf long after you post it, and it sits right next to your long-form videos, which makes it an easy way to send people back to the full upload.

Shorts also leans on volume, so a batch of clips from one upload gives you something to post most days without filming anything new. And because the export is clean with no watermark, it does not get quietly pushed down as a repost.

## FAQ

### Can I turn an X \(Twitter\) video into a vertical clip?

Yes. Paste the link to the video post and Cliphi pulls the video, crops it to vertical, and adds captions and music, ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

### Do you still support Twitter links?

Yes. X and Twitter are the same platform, and Cliphi handles links from either.

### Will the clip have a watermark?

No. The export is clean with no app logo, so it does not get treated as a repost on the platform you move it to.

### How long can a YouTube Short be?

Up to three minutes. Cliphi keeps clips inside that limit and trims to the strongest part, so you are not relying on a slow opening to hold attention.
