Bitcut

Bitcut lets you turn long-form video into platform-ready Shorts, Reels, and TikToks right from your iPhone. Drop in a stream, podcast, lecture, or vlog: AI finds the strongest moments, reframes them to 9:16, and adds word-by-word captions—so you get clips that work on their own.

For captions, Bitcut transcribes every word with timing, then generates word-by-word captions you can style in multiple caption looks. You can also fine-tune captions using the transcript, including fixing any word that needs correction. Editing is built around a timeline with beat-synced cuts, plus tools for trimming/splitting, voiceover, title cards, transitions, and voice enhancement.

Streamers can paste a Twitch/YouTube link or use an iPhone file to produce highlight reels. Bitcut listens through hours of recording, lists top moments in stream order with a score and summary, and exports a 16:9 reel with YouTube chapters—then turns selected moments into vertical Shorts. Scene layouts include options like split screen, webcam bubble, and face follow (face tracking is available on Pro).

Pricing is organized around plans. There’s a Free plan ($0 forever) with 30 AI minutes per month, full timeline editing, and watermark exports. Pro costs $9.99/month or $99.99/year (save 17%) and adds no watermark exports, more AI minutes, face tracking, subtitle correction, and cloud storage. Creator adds higher limits and additional subtitle options, and Streamer is priced per stream with a first stream up to 3 hours free (watermark included), plus a subscription option for regular streams.

What inputs can I use to create Shorts with Bitcut?

You can use long videos like podcasts, interviews, lectures, or vlogs. For stream highlights, paste a Twitch or YouTube link or upload a file from your iPhone.

Does Bitcut automatically add word-by-word captions?

Yes. Every generated Short includes word-by-word captions, with timed word highlighting synced to the audio and multiple caption look styles.

Can Bitcut convert 16:9 video into vertical 9:16?

Yes. Bitcut automatically auto-reframes content from 16:9 to 9:16 for vertical Shorts. With Pro, face tracking helps keep the speaker in frame as scenes change.

How does Bitcut pick the best moments for my clip?

Bitcut analyzes what’s being said, selects moments that stand on their own, and ranks them by quality with a score and a short reason (like hook, story, or strong ending).

What’s included in the Free plan?

The Free plan is $0 forever and includes 30 AI minutes per month on iPhone and iPad, plus the full timeline editor. Exports include a watermark.

How does stream highlighting work and what do I get at the end?

Bitcut scores moments in stream order and lets you select the ones you want. You can export a 16:9 highlight reel with chapters, then generate vertical Shorts with scene layouts and word-by-word captions.
