Long-form YouTube video editor: paste the link or the file and walk out with the clean cut and the Shorts
For channels publishing interviews, shows and courses of an hour or more. Max Editor transcribes on your PC or Android, removes filler, finds the best moments and delivers the clean video plus vertical captioned Shorts. You edit by deleting words. No cloud minutes.
For talk-driven channels
From a one-hour recording to the video and its Shorts
If your channel lives on people talking (interviews, video podcasts, lessons, long reactions), the work is not effects: it is finding and cleaning. That is what Max Editor automates.
The problem
One hour of recording is two or three hours of editing for the long video, and another afternoon to pull five Shorts. At one video a week, that is a part-time job.
How Max Editor solves it
Paste the YouTube link of an already published video or drag the recording. It transcribes word by word on your device. The AI cleans filler and repetition, reads the transcript with editorial judgment and proposes sequences with the best moments. Each sequence is reframed to 9:16 following the speaker and ships with captions in 24 styles. Batch export and direct publishing to social.
Step by step
Import by link or file. Transcription on your PC (Max Companion, free) or on your Android.
Automatic cleanup and AI-proposed sequences, every cut visible.
Adjust by deleting or restoring words. Pick a caption style.
Export the clean long video and the 9:16 Shorts, in batch, and publish.
What to expect and when it is not the right tool
A clean video and five to ten Shorts per recording, with the same judgment every week.
Not for video without speech (montages, gameplay without commentary, music vlogs): no transcript, nothing to edit.
No effects, motion graphics or color grading; it does do B-roll, photos and logos on a footage track.
Flat pricing: Basic $15/month, Pro $45, Unlimited $65. 14-day free trial, no card.
Frequently asked questions
Can I paste a YouTube link?
Yes. A YouTube link or a video URL comes in as a project: it is downloaded, transcribed on your device and ready to edit. Handy for recycling already published videos into Shorts.
How does it pull Shorts out of a long video?
The AI reads the transcript, picks the best moments by topic and proposes sequences with in and out points. Each one is reframed to vertical following the speaker and ships with captions. You adjust by deleting words.
Does it handle two-hour videos?
Yes. Transcription, reframe and export run on your PC or Android with no duration limit and no plan minutes.
How much does it cost?
Basic $15/month, Pro $45, Unlimited $65. 14-day free trial, no card. Editorial AI uses your OpenAI key, around $1.30 per hour of material at list price.
