✂️ Long to Short Form – Turn Long Videos into Viral Clips

Learn how to create viral clips from long videos automatically using Sludge AI!

Updated over 6 months ago

Have a long YouTube video, podcast, or Zoom call? Sludge AI can break it into short, viral-style clips — perfect for TikTok, Reels, or YouTube Shorts!


✅ What It Does

When you paste in a video that’s over 5 minutes long, Sludge will:

  • Find the best moments using AI

  • Cut them into short clips

  • Add your template to each one


📥 How to Use It

  1. Go to the Create tab

  2. Paste in a link to a long video (like from YouTube)

  3. Sludge will say:

    “This looks like a long video. Want to turn it into short clips?”

  4. Choose one of your saved templates, or make a new one

  5. Pick how many short clips you want (like 3, 5, or more)

  6. Click Create Content

That’s it! Sludge will get to work.


🎨 Add Your Style

Each short clip can:

  • Use your custom template

  • Add captions, effects, or retention clips

  • Match the same look across every video


🕐 How Long Does It Take?

Long videos take more time to process — but don’t worry:

  • You’ll get an email when it’s ready

  • You can check progress in your dashboard


📂 Where It Goes

When it’s done, your new short clips will be:

  • In Recent Media

  • Inside the Project folder (if you picked one)
