Shorts

Shorts is a cool tool that lets you turn long audio or video files into shorter clips. This way, you can enjoy them during your breaks without spending too much time!

Why Use Shorts?

The shorter files are way easier to move to your mobile devices. Plus, they’re simpler to browse through, which makes the whole experience a lot better.

Getting Started with Shorts

If you want to use the Shorts app, it’s super easy! Just drag and drop the files you want right onto the main window of the app. You can also use the Finder menu, which is actually a good idea because it helps you pick only the formats that Shorts supports: MP4, WAV, MP3, AVI, or MKV.

Batch Processing Feature

A cool feature of Shorts is its batch processing. This means you can load multiple files at once and apply the same settings to all of them. That saves a lot of time since you won’t have to keep going back and forth setting things up for each file.

Customizing Your Clips

In the main window of Shorts, you can set how long your new short clips will be—anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes! You can also choose a recap duration where the last few seconds of one clip will play at the beginning of the next one.

File Formats and Quality Options

You can keep the same format or quality as your original file or switch it up using formats like AVI, MP4, or MP3 (just remember that in this case only audio will be kept!). You also have control over video resolution and audio quality levels.

Organizing Your Files

The new shorts can either go in the same folder as your original files or you can create a custom directory for them. It’s all about what works best for you!

Final Thoughts on Using Shorts

In summary, Shorts is an awesome option for quickly splitting and re-encoding video and audio files. It makes everything more accessible during breaks. Setting up processing tasks is simple too! Plus, with shorter clips at your fingertips, you'll never lose track of where you left off in those big media files again!
