What is Shortsmith?
Shortsmith (shortsmith.kr) is a web app that turns long videos into finished YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikToks. Paste a YouTube link or upload a video, and AI watches the whole thing, suggests three story angles, then cuts the highlights, reframes to 9:16 and adds captions, an AI voice-over, a title and a thumbnail. It is run by Changup Plus in the Republic of Korea.
