Long Videos to Viral Short Clips

StoryHero is an AI-powered SaaS that automatically turns long-form videos into short, viral-ready clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Short…

In plain English

Creators upload a long video, and StoryHero comes back with several short clips for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. It spots highlight moments, adds captions, and shapes the picture for a vertical phone screen. Podcasters, streamers, and brands pay by how much they upload, or they can pay to have the clipping done for them. A strong moment buried in a long video rarely gets cut out by hand, which is why they pay. The AI does most of the clipping, the captions, and the billing, while the person running StoryHero still checks quality, helps creators, and steps in when a clip needs a human choice.
