SendShort Review 2026: Long Videos to Captioned Shorts

SendShort is an AI short-form video tool that turns long videos and YouTube links into captioned shorts, with animated subtitles in 100+ languages, B-roll, hook titles and a TikTok and YouTube scheduler. Plans cost $15, $23 and $47 a month billed yearly, with long-video clipping starting on Professional. It suits creators and agencies who post shorts daily.

What Is SendShort?

SendShort takes a video file or a YouTube link and builds short clips from it. On the Professional plan and above, its AI scores a long recording, picks the highest-retention moments and cuts them into ready clips, then burns in animated captions. You can stay in that automatic flow or open the full editor, which has a timeline, fonts, hooks, a B-roll and sound-effect library and brand controls. Finished shorts export in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 for Shorts, Reels, TikTok and LinkedIn, and a built-in scheduler and content calendar can post to TikTok and YouTube with unlimited social accounts.

Beyond clipping, the plans include faceless videos from a prompt, TikTok slideshows, and on higher tiers AI avatar videos, photo to video, music videos, AI voice-over and auto-translated captions. The company behind it is PXCH Holding I, LLC.

Key Features

• Long video to shorts: AI picks the best moments (Professional and up)
• Animated captions in 100+ languages; the company claims 98%+ accuracy
• Magic B-roll, zooms, AI hook titles, silence cutting and noise reduction
• AI voice-over and auto-translated captions on Professional and up
• Full editor with timeline, custom fonts, B-roll and sound-effect library
• Scheduler and content calendar for TikTok and YouTube
• Faceless videos, TikTok slideshows, AI avatars and photo to video
• MCP endpoint and REST API for AI agents and automation tools

How the Workflow Runs

1. Import a file or paste a YouTube link.
2. On Professional or Business, let the AI find the best moments in a long video.
3. Pick a caption style and tweak it in the editor.
4. Add B-roll, a hook title, a voice-over or translated captions.
5. Export, or schedule the short to TikTok or YouTube.

Using SendShort From an AI Agent

SendShort publishes an MCP endpoint at mcp.sendshort.ai that exposes four tools to an assistant: import a video, find moments, add captions and render a clip. That lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok Bot or an automation tool such as n8n or Zapier run the whole job from a chat or a script, and a REST API covers programmatic YouTube import and clipping.

One thing to check before you pay: the pricing page lists the AI Agent and API on the Professional plan, while the homepage says Business. Confirm which plan includes it for your use. Agents also spend credits and act on your account, so review what they render before you publish.

Pros and Cons

Where it holds up: the clipping, captions and editor sit in one place, the scheduler removes a separate posting tool, and the MCP endpoint and API let an AI agent run the job. Captions cover 100+ languages, and Professional adds translation and AI voice-over.

Where it falls short: long video to shorts, auto B-roll and the agent features are locked behind the Professional plan or higher, and Starter caps you at 20 shorts a month and 90 seconds each. There is no free plan, so you pay before you can test the full workflow, and the lowest prices need yearly billing.

Who Should Skip This

If you only need subtitles on a video you already edited, a cheaper caption-only tool covers it. If you clip rarely, a monthly plan will sit unused. And if you want a permanent free tier to experiment with, SendShort does not list one, so look at the free plans in our Best AI Tools With a Free-Forever Plan collection.
