Trim a 3-minute Reel into three YouTube Shorts: $0.21
Instagram Reels can run 3 minutes. Import one for $0.15 and cut three Shorts with video trim at $0.02 each. Captions are extra.
Napoleoncat reports (read 2026-10-07) that Reels now run up to 3 minutes. A long Reel you own can be split into several Shorts. Sume imports it, then trims.
Cost
| Step | Cost |
|---|---|
| Import a public Instagram URL | $0.15 |
| Three trims at $0.02 | $0.06 |
| Total | $0.21 |
| Add captions on each, $0.20 per job | $0.60 more |
Notes
Trim is flat, takes a source up to 1800 seconds and outputs up to 900. Pick cuts at sentence ends. Every Short needs its own opening, so the second and third cuts may need a re-hook. Sume does not import YouTube URLs.
