To turn a YouTube video into Shorts, copy its transcript, paste one idea of about 150 words into the Faceless script box and generate: you get a new vertical Short with an AI voice, captions and visuals for every scene. Faceless does not cut clips out of the original footage, so a long video becomes several new Shorts, one per idea.

No. Faceless makes new Shorts rather than cutting clips from the original video. Take the transcript of a long video, pick its strongest ideas, and paste each one into the script box as about 150 words. Faceless narrates it with an AI voice, adds captions and visuals per scene, and renders a 9:16 Short. Use your own videos, or ask the creator before you remake theirs.
Open the video on YouTube and use Show transcript under the description, or paste the link into the free Faceless YouTube transcript generator and copy the text.
A 20 minute video usually holds four to six ideas that stand on their own. Cut each one to about 150 words with the payoff early, which is roughly 60 seconds of narration.
Paste the idea into the script box, choose a voice and a visual style, and generate. Faceless splits it into scenes, gives each scene its own visuals and adds word-timed captions.
Every video opens in the editor, where you can change captions, visuals and the voice before you download it or post it to YouTube. The Storyboard style costs 20 credits a Short.
