Free, no strings

Request a free short.

Send one recent long-form video. We’ll pick its strongest complete moment and turn it into a finished, captioned short in your style.

A YouTube link works best. Vimeo, Google Drive or Dropbox links are fine too.

Leave the link blank and we’ll reply by email to arrange a private transfer. There are no uploads on this page.

Add optional details (channel, platform, style notes)

Yours or anyone else’s. It helps us match the look you want.

Language, names to spell correctly, moments you love, things to avoid, or if you’d rather send the file privately.

Before you send

Why is this free? What’s the catch?

We’re building a portfolio of creator-specific work, and the most honest way to show what we do is on your own footage. There’s no card, no required call and no subscription. If you like the edit, we can talk about ongoing work. If not, keep the short and that’s the end of it.

What exactly do I get, and can I use the files?

One finished short from one video: a vertical 9:16 MP4 (normally 1080×1920) with captions and a suggested title, ready to post yourself as a YouTube Short, Instagram Reel or TikTok. You keep the rights to your source, and the edit is yours to use within those rights.

How long does it take?

We reply first to confirm your video is a good fit. Once we have, and we have a usable copy of the video, your short arrives within 48 hours, often sooner. If you’re sending the file privately, the clock starts when it arrives.

What if my video isn’t on YouTube?

Paste whatever link you have: Vimeo, Google Drive, Dropbox or another host. If the file is private, say so in the notes and I’ll get in touch to arrange a private transfer. Please don’t send passwords.

Do you work in languages other than English?

Yes. We caption in the language you speak, and we keep code-switching as it is rather than translating it. Tell us the language in the notes.
