Shorts from a long video.
Pick a long video and Diffcut finds its strongest moments, then cuts each one to 9:16 with word-pop captions. Every short arrives as changes you review.
Five changes per short.
Each short is a new 9:16 edit of its own. Accept the changes you want, skip the rest.

Questions
How does Diffcut pick the moments?
Your own Claude Code reads the talk as numbered sentences and picks moments with a hook line and a reason for each. Without Claude, or for any gap it leaves, a transcript scorer picks them: a strong opening, a clear focus, energy, pace, and few fillers or long pauses.
Does a moment ever start mid-sentence?
No. Every moment starts and ends on a sentence boundary, and moments never overlap.
Can I change a short before exporting it?
Yes. Each short is its own 9:16 edit, made of changes you accept or skip: the range, the reframing, the captions, the hook card and the music. Then edit it like any other timeline.
