Frequently Asked Questions

Can Pippit auto-detect highlights and split scenes for me?

Yes. Pippit analyzes your footage to surface key moments and suggest scene boundaries, so you can split in one click. You can adjust sensitivity, merge or refine cuts, and quickly assemble a tight sequence for Shorts. For faster trimming, try the AI video trimmer.

What aspect ratio and size should I use for YouTube Shorts?

YouTube Shorts are vertical 9:16, typically 1080×1920. Pippit can auto-reframe faces and text to stay in view, add safe guides, and convert horizontal videos to vertical without manual cropping.

What’s the maximum length for a Short, and can Pippit enforce it?

YouTube Shorts are up to 60 seconds. Set a target duration and Pippit will help you trim to fit, showing a running timer and suggesting cut points to keep your edit concise.

Can I add captions, stickers, and branding to my Shorts?

Absolutely. Auto-generate captions, edit fonts, colors, and timing, then layer stickers, emojis, and branded assets. Fine-tune placement for legibility and keep captions synced after splits.

Which formats can I import and export?

Import common formats like MP4 and MOV. Export platform-ready MP4 in vertical 1080×1920 with standard frame rates—ideal for YouTube Shorts and other social platforms. You can also jumpstart with the AI Shorts maker for templates and presets.

Can I publish directly to YouTube or do I have to download first?

You can export and upload manually, or publish directly to supported platforms when connected. Either way, your file is encoded for fast, high-quality uploads.

Is Pippit free to use? How is pricing structured?

You can start free and create Shorts with core tools. Advanced options—such as bulk export, longer queues, and brand kits—are available on paid plans so teams can scale output.

Will my exports have a watermark, and how is my data handled?

Eligible plans export without a watermark. Free outputs may display one. Your media stays private to your workspace unless you share it, and you can delete assets and projects at any time. To reformat older landscape clips into vertical, see the rotate video tool.
