Shorts Generation in OneTake By Plan

Shorts are short-form vertical videos designed for platforms such as YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels. These videos are typically under 60 seconds and are optimized for mobile viewing, fast consumption, and high engagement.

Short-form video has become one of the most widely used content formats across social platforms. According to public data shared by YouTube, Shorts receive tens of billions of daily views, and Meta has confirmed that Reels are one of the primary drivers of reach and discovery on Instagram and Facebook. TikTok’s entire platform is built around short-form video consumption, with users spending hours per day scrolling short clips.

Because of this shift, many creators repurpose longer videos into Shorts to reach new audiences, increase visibility, and extend the lifespan of their content.

What Shorts generation does in OneTake

Shorts generation allows long videos to be analyzed and broken into shorter, highlight-style clips. Instead of manually scrubbing through footage and cutting clips yourself, OneTake identifies moments that can work as short-form videos.

These Shorts can then be used for:

• Social media platforms
• Promotional content
• Teasers for long-form videos
• Educational snippets
• Marketing and brand content

The feature is designed for users who create longer videos and want to reuse that content in a short-form format.

Which plans include Shorts generation

Based on the pricing table:

• Pro Plan: Shorts generation included
• Premium Plan: Shorts generation included

Shorts generation is not available on:

• Free Plan
• Occasional Plan

The feature becomes available starting at the Pro tier.

How Shorts generation fits into the editing workflow

For users on the Pro and Premium plans, Shorts generation appears as part of the project workflow. After uploading and processing a video, Shorts can be generated directly from that content.

Once Shorts are created, they remain linked to the original project, making it easy to revisit, review, or generate additional clips from the same video.

Why creators use Shorts alongside long videos

Short-form video complements long-form content rather than replacing it. Many platforms now recommend using both formats together. Long videos provide depth and detailed explanations, while Shorts help attract attention, introduce topics, and drive viewers toward longer content.

Because Shorts are heavily promoted by platform algorithms, they are often used to:

• Reach users who are not yet followers
• Increase overall content visibility
• Highlight key moments from long videos
• Maintain consistent posting without recording new content
