YouTube Shorts Editing Service

Shorts are the fastest way to grow a YouTube channel in 2026 — and the Shorts shelf rewards under-60-second videos with high completion rate. Our YouTube Shorts editing service cuts for retention, adds a subscribe CTA in the final 3 seconds, and writes the SEO title. We edit fresh vertical footage or repurpose your long-form videos into Shorts.

Shorts are a channel-growth engine

YouTube's Shorts feed exposes your content to people who've never seen your channel. A Short that holds retention gets pushed; a viewer who subscribes from a Short then sees your long-form videos in their feed. Done consistently, Shorts are the cheapest subscriber acquisition on the platform — and the edit is what determines whether they hold.

Two ways to work with us

Fresh vertical footage

You film vertical on a phone, upload to Drive, we edit. Standard workflow — 24–48 hours per Short.

Repurpose long-form

You send a link to a published YouTube video or upload the file. We watch it, pull the 3–6 strongest 30–60 second moments, reframe each to vertical with the subject tracked and centred, and edit each as a standalone Short with its own hook. This is the fastest way to get a month of Shorts from one long video.

Who this is for

YouTube channels that want Shorts without a second editor
Educators and coaches with long-form libraries to repurpose
Podcasters cutting clips from episodes
Creators posting to Shorts, Reels and TikTok from one edit

Frequently asked questions

How long can a YouTube Short be in 2026?

Up to 3 minutes since late 2024, but the Shorts shelf and recommendation feed still favour videos under 60 seconds with high completion rate. We cut to under 60 unless there's a reason not to.

Can you turn my long YouTube videos into Shorts?

Yes. Send the long-form video or a link. We find the strongest 30–60 second segments, reframe from 16:9 to 9:16 keeping the subject centred, add captions and a hook, and deliver 3–6 Shorts per long video.

Do Shorts help my long-form videos rank?

Yes — Shorts drive subscribers and channel watch time, and YouTube shows your long-form videos to Shorts viewers who subscribed. A subscribe CTA in the final 3 seconds of every Short is included.

Do you write the Shorts title and description?

Yes. Every Short comes with an SEO title, description and hashtags. Shorts titles show over the video, so we keep them under 40 characters and put the keyword first.

Send us your footage. We'll handle the rest.
