In this tutorial, I show you how I turn a long YouTube video into viral-style Shorts automatically using Klap AI (in the transcript I mention it as “Clap AI”). The whole workflow starts right from the dashboard: you either paste a YouTube link or drop a file. I paste my link in, get a quick preview (mine was around 16 minutes), and then I move straight into generating Shorts without needing to manually hunt for the best moments. From there, I walk you through the key settings that matter: choosing “Shorts” from the dropdown, picking a target duration (like 30 seconds or 1 minute), and selecting a preset (I point out the “Rainbow” option as an easy starter choice). Then you can toggle options like captions, emojis, intro, title, and reframe, and I recommend keeping the aspect ratio on Portrait since that’s what most Shorts platforms want. Finally, I explain that generating will use credits, and you may hit a paywall where you’ll need to choose a plan (Klap, Klap Pro, or Klap Pro Plus) to continue—so you know exactly what to expect before you click “Generate.”
