Muapi Youtube Shorts

Takes a long video and spits out vertical short clips optimized for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Reels. It's basically a preset wrapper around muapi.ai's AI clipping API that handles face tracking, auto-crop, and highlight extraction so you don't have to configure aspect ratios manually. If you just want to pass `--platform tiktok` instead of thinking about dimensions, this is easier than calling the raw clipping endpoint. Built by the team behind the AI YouTube Shorts Generator repo (3.4K stars). Fair warning: three security audits came back with warnings, so check the Gen Agent Trust Hub report before using this in production.

YouTube Shorts Generator

Long video → ranked vertical short clips, tuned for short-form social.

This skill is a platform-aware preset over the AI Clipping primitive. It picks the right aspect ratio and clip count for the target platform and delegates highlight extraction, dedupe, and face-tracked auto-crop to muapi.ai's managed /ai-clipping endpoint.

When to Use This vs. AI Clipping

Use this skill when…	Use AI Clipping directly when…
Target is YouTube Shorts / TikTok / Reels	You want full control over aspect / count
You want platform-tuned defaults	You want raw timestamps (`--coords-only`)
You'd rather pass `--platform tiktok` than think about ratios	You're integrating into a custom renderer
