AI Shorts sound and look better

AI Shorts got a round of quality work. Narration sounds right in more languages, scene images arrive much faster, and memes and image cards stay clear of the captions.

What shipped

• Much faster scene images with GPT Image 2.5 Flare
• Memes that use the right template, with bold captions that stay readable on a phone
• Image cards that sit above the captions and step aside while a stat card or headline is on screen
• Videos that run out of time now fail and refund your credits instead of staying stuck

Clips that follow the speaker

Video clips now keep the person on screen in the vertical frame. Shortify follows the face in each shot instead of cropping the center of the picture, and you can change the layout of any clip before you export it.

What shipped

• Follow speaker is the default when you create clips, next to length and language
• Choose Speaker, Centered, or Video + B-Roll for each clip, with a preview that matches the export
• Wide shots of two people, or shots with no clear face, show the whole frame instead of cutting people off at the edges

Publish to YouTube on any plan

Publishing used to need the Creator plan. Now every plan, including Free, can connect YouTube and TikTok and post to YouTube straight from Shortify.

What shipped

• Post to YouTube from any plan; videos on the Free plan carry the Shortify watermark
• TikTok doesn't allow apps to post watermarked videos, so Shortify offers a download or a clean export on a paid plan instead
• Each channel shows when a video is already published there, so nothing goes out twice

Clips sound better and look sharper

What shipped

• Clip audio leveled to a steady volume, without clipping
• Full resolution for some 1080p videos that were cut to 720p before cropping
• Edited captions with several words now wrap instead of running off the screen
• Exporting an unchanged clip again on the same day reuses the finished video, so it is ready right away
• YouTube music videos are caught before a clip job starts, so you don't spend credits on songs with no dialogue to clip
