# YouTube Shorts Generator

**Long video → ranked vertical short clips, tuned for short-form social.**

This skill is a platform-aware preset over the [AI Clipping](../../edit/ai-clipping/) primitive. It picks the right aspect ratio and clip count for the target platform and delegates highlight extraction, dedupe, and face-tracked auto-crop to muapi.ai's managed `/ai-clipping` endpoint.
