Deep dive

Everything you need to know about Shorts Maker from YouTube Video

Braiv Shorts turns a YouTube link into vertical clips with AI highlights and captions. It is not an unlimited free Shorts factory. You start with a starter credit pack, then use On Demand ($0.02 / credit, top-ups from $1) or a monthly plan when you clip regularly.

Paste a public YouTube URL, let the model propose vertical cuts, refine captions, and export. Occasional creators stay on On Demand; daily publishers usually move to Starter, Pro, or Business for included Shorts generations. See pricing.

  • Link in, Shorts out: Highlight detection and 9:16 reframing in one flow.
  • Starter credits: Prove the pipeline on your content.
  • On Demand: Pay as you go — no subscription required, credits do not expire.

Create your account and run your first YouTube link on starter credits.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the Shorts maker free?
You get a starter pack of AI Credits when you create an account — enough to try Braiv Shorts, not unlimited free clipping. Continue on On Demand at $0.02 USD per credit (top-ups from $1) or choose a plan with monthly Shorts capacity (60 / 270 / 540 on Starter / Pro / Business).
Can I pay only when I make Shorts?
Yes. On Demand is pay-as-you-go with no monthly subscription. Top up credits when you have a YouTube link to clip; credits do not expire on On Demand.
What does the AI do with my YouTube link?
Braiv Shorts finds highlight moments, reframes to 9:16, and can add captions and soundtrack options so vertical clips are closer to publish-ready.
