2short.ai review

2short.ai does one job at a low price. You copy a YouTube link, paste it into the app, and the AI picks the most engaging parts and turns them into shorts with face tracking that keeps the active speaker centered, plus one-click animated subtitles. Every plan has full access to all features, and plans differ mainly in hours of AI analysis: 30 minutes a month free, 5 hours on Lite for $9.90 a month, 15 hours on Pro for $19.90 and 50 hours on Premium for $49.90. Paid plans import from Google Drive and public URLs, and Pro adds unlimited fast server-side exports. Exports are 1080p without watermarks, and brand presets add logos and overlays. The limits are clear: it needs videos with captions, since the AI reads spoken words, and the pricing page lists no social scheduling. For a YouTuber clipping commentary or podcast videos, it is the cheapest paid way in.
