One long recording becomes captioned shorts, checked and ready to post. ## At a glance - **You give:** A long video cleared for publication, and where it will be published - **Shorts:** Cut on natural pauses into vertical clips with word-synced captions - **Graphics and sound:** Branded title cards, lower thirds and end cards; loudness levelled for delivery - **Checked:** Picture, sound level and caption placement; a failed file is never marked ready - **You receive:** Video, captions, thumbnail frames, a description draft, a disclosure flag and a licence log - **What it never does:** Publish, upload, spend money or imitate a real person ## What the Video Manager does - **Cuts shorts from long videos:** Suggests candidate clips ranked by built-in scoring, cuts them on word boundaries and natural silences, and crops them to a centred vertical frame. - **Adds word-synced captions:** Captions highlight each word as it is spoken and sit inside the area each platform keeps clear. You also get caption files to upload separately. - **Builds branded motion graphics:** Title cards, lower thirds, kinetic text, logo stings and end cards, as finished clips or as overlays you can drop onto your own edit. - **Gets the sound right:** Levels loudness to delivery standards, adds a music bed and exports versions for long YouTube videos, Shorts, Reels and overlays. - **Quality checks every file:** An automatic check measures picture and sound and returns a clear verdict with a sheet of stills. A hard fail blocks the file from being marked ready. - **Packages it for posting:** Video, captions, thumbnail frames, a description draft, a disclosure flag and a licence log, delivered privately to you. ## How the Video Manager differs from editing every clip by hand Editing every clip by hand means scrubbing an hour of footage for each short, then hoping the captions and sound hold up on a phone. The Video Manager picks and cuts candidate clips on clean pauses, adds word-synced captions and brand graphics, and measures picture and sound before you ever see the file. A file that fails is never marked ready, and you decide what gets posted. How this differs from the Content Repurposer (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-content-repurposing-agent): To turn one talk or article into written drafts for each channel, use the Content Repurposer; the Video Manager cuts your long videos into captioned shorts and branded graphics. ## How it works 1. **Brief it and name the platform** (When you brief it): Tell it what you want and where it will be published. If you have not said where, it asks one short question instead of guessing. 2. **Plan the cut** (Before anything renders): It picks candidate clips or writes a storyboard for your graphics, then previews key frames before anything is rendered. 3. **Render and measure** (Once the plan is set): It renders the video and runs the quality check on picture, sound and captions. Anything that fails is fixed or flagged, never passed. 4. **You review the package** (you approve) (When the checks pass): You watch the result, read the description draft and decide whether it goes out. Nothing is published without you. 5. **You post it** (When you are ready to post): You upload the finished package yourself, or hand it to the Social Media Lead to fit into your posting schedule. ## When to use it - **You recorded an hour-long webinar:** Get a set of captioned vertical shorts cut on clean pauses, each one checked and ready for Reels, TikTok or YouTube Shorts. - **Your videos all look a little different:** Branded title cards, lower thirds and end cards give every video the same polished look. - **A clip sounds too quiet on phones:** It levels the audio to delivery standards so your video sounds right next to everything else in the feed. - **You are not sure a video is ready for Reels:** Ask it to check the file and get a plain verdict with stills, before your audience sees a problem. - **Someone asks for a video of a celebrity endorsing you:** It declines and offers a safe alternative, such as a consenting customer testimonial or a text-only animation. ## What you get - Captioned vertical shorts cut from your long-form video - Caption files to upload alongside each video - Branded motion graphics as finished clips or overlays - Platform-ready exports at 1080p with levelled sound - A quality verdict with a sheet of stills for every file - A posting package with thumbnail frames, description draft, disclosure flag and licence log ## Example: shorts package cut from a long class video Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Cut our best moments from the October bread class video into short Reels with captions, check they are ready to post, and package them for my team. This is an illustrative example of the shorts package Video Manager is being built to produce: ranked clip candidates, captioned 9:16 cuts, an automated QA verdict and a ready-to-upload package. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented bakery and video, with invented timings and measurements. No real footage, account, systems or people were involved, and nothing was published or uploaded. Run date: 14 October 2026. ### What it found - Nine clip candidates were found in the 22:40 class video; the owner picked four, totalling 2:44, each cut on a natural pause with word-synced captions in a 9:16 frame. - All four shorts pass automated QA at about −14 LUFS; one first failed on an audio peak of −0.4 dBTP and passed at −1.2 after re-levelling. - The package holds four videos, caption files, 12 thumbnail frames and a metadata draft; nothing was published, and the bakery's team uploads when ready. YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram and Reels are trademarks of their owners. MyZone is not affiliated with or endorsed by them. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Video Manager is ready for your account. - It never publishes, uploads or spends money. You decide what goes out and you post it. - No deepfakes. It never imitates a real person's face, voice or name. Only people who agree to appear, as themselves, are ever shown. - It never rips or downloads video from links, and never packages a file that failed its quality check. - It only works with material cleared for publication. Confidential, internal or client-only content is turned down. ## Frequently asked questions ### How does AI video clipping turn a long recording into shorts?
