In simple English
This tool turns long YouTube videos into short clips for TikTok and Instagram. It finds the best parts, adds moving captions, and crops the video to fit vertical screens. You run it on your own computer so your videos stay private. It costs nothing to use, but you need a good graphics card to make it run fast.
