From your YouTube video, podcast or stream: finished vertical clips with checked captions — Shorts, Reels & TikToks. You send the link. We return MP4, SRT and caption text in 1–3 days. Start with a test clip from your own video for 9 €.
Because you should taste the work on your material before you subscribe.
You already did the hard part: the long video. The clips are the part that never quite gets done.
We know the feeling — a good hour of video, and nothing on Shorts, Reels & TikToks to show for it. So we take the cutting, the captions and the checking off your desk. Quietly, every week.
— At your service, ShortsButler
Three steps. Two of them are ours.
A link or file: YouTube video, podcast, livestream or VOD, webinar, interview, talk (MP4 is fine). You confirm rights in writing. We reply within 24 hours.
Hooks, 9:16 with speaker tracking, word captions, loudness. Two transcription models, then a human pass before anything leaves the kitchen.
You receive MP4 + SRT + title and caption text. Upload takes about a minute — or add Posting Duty and we schedule for you.
Never your passwords. For posting, you connect your accounts yourself via the official Metricool login. We do not create accounts. We do not ask for logins.
Seven finished clips cut from long talks, German and English. Tap to play — sound on, if you like.
Working samples from openly licensed 39C3 talks (media.ccc.de, CC BY 4.0; source credited in each clip). Auto-cut, captions checked. No affiliation with the speakers or the CCC. Client voices will appear here once the first hosts agree to be quoted — until then, none.
Cancel monthly — no minimum term. Prices are final (§ 19 UStG).
Not for fake “fan” accounts, or clipping other people’s material without rights.
One clip. Your video. A proper trial.
Delivery in 1–3 days
Because a single serving tells you more than a long sales page.
One long video a week, quietly handled.
12 clips · ≈ 8.25 € per clip
For comparison: clipping agencies list 300–500 $ a month for 20 clips (international) and 1,290–2,200 € for 12–16 clips (Germany). House Service: 99 € for 12 — no briefing marathon.
Because most weekly creators need a steady tray, not a banquet.
More clips. Hook variants. Still calm.
30 clips per month
Because growth needs more plates on the table, not more nights in the edit bay.
Tip: add Posting Duty (+59 € / month) and we handle the schedule too.
Bio, avatar and story highlights for Instagram and TikTok, in your brand style. You open the accounts yourself (your identity, your phone number). We never create accounts.
We plan and post at sensible times via Metricool (tool cost included). You connect accounts yourself with the official login link. We never see passwords. You can disconnect anytime.
Twenty extra clips plus posting on a clearly labelled official clip channel (e.g. “Your Name Clips”), linked to your main account. No pretend fan accounts.
Prices are final. Kleinunternehmer under § 19 UStG — no VAT charged. Monthly extras require an active monthly service.
Types of offer only — not named rivals. Figures from public agency price pages and a published DIY-tool price list (October 2026).
