FAQ

Questions, answered.

What it takes, what it makes, and what you get with youtube to shorts in Sqwart.

  • YouTube links — watch pages, youtu.be links, Shorts, embeds, live streams or a bare video ID — or a file you upload: mp4, mov, mkv or webm, up to 5 GB.

  • You choose, or leave it on Auto and the number scales with the episode's length. All the clips arrive together, each with a quality score.

  • Most clippers trim one window of time out of a video. Sqwart assembles: it can join a hook from one part of the episode with the setup and payoff from others, so every clip tells a complete story instead of starting mid-thought.

  • Yes. Each clip opens in an editor where you can trim by word, remove stumbles, swap a beat, restyle captions, add b-roll, titles and music, change the aspect ratio, or ask the model for changes like “shorter” or “start on the question”.

  • Every new account starts with 75 free credits. Making clips costs 3 credits a minute of video, so that is enough for about 25 minutes of episode. Paid plans start at $9 a month for 350 credits, and paying yearly costs about 20% less.
