ShortMatic

Long videos → reviewable Shorts, Reels & TikTok clips

What it does

ShortMatic turns long videos into reviewable YouTube Shorts, TikTok clips, and Reels. AI finds moments, you approve, then export with captions. Upload a file or import a supported YouTube URL. Get a queue of clip candidates, fix captions, and export vertical 9:16 files. Built for creators who already have podcasts, tutorials, or interviews — not a CapCut-style effects timeline. Honest comparison vs Opus Clip and CapCut: https://shortmatic.app/compare

ShortMatic Ai turns long videos into vertical Shorts with captions. Upload or import from YouTube, review AI moments, then export for Shorts, TikTok, and Reels.

ShortMatic Ai finds the best moments , adds captions , and exports files ready for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Reels . Same recording in and out — three AI-style clip suggestions from one long upload. Find moments, caption them, reframe for mobile — then open Studio only if you want a tighter cut. Transcript, scenes, and hooks are scored together so you get Shorts candidates — not a random 15-second slice. Word-timed styles from Bold Reels to One Word. Pick None when the clip should stay clean. Subject-aware crop keeps faces and action in frame so the vertical file looks shot for mobile. No editor training. One path from a long file to posted Shorts. Paste a YouTube link or upload a file —…from shortmatic.app

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
