The 15 seconds that stop the scroll
Pick your platform length, tap 'suggest the loudest section' for a starting point — an honest energy scan, nothing smarter — then slide the window to taste and export with fades baked in.
Nothing is uploaded — your audio never leaves your device.
The window is exactly your clip length — drag it anywhere, or let the suggester jump it to the hottest stretch.
Loudest isn't always the hook. The studio knows the difference.
Energy scanning finds loud; SongShort's engine finds the hook — and cuts beat-synced vertical video around it. Sign up: 3 full packs free.
Frequently asked questions
How do I cut a song for a reel?
Load the track, choose the length (15 s covers most Reels/TikTok uses), and position the highlighted window over the section you want — the suggest button jumps it to the most energetic stretch as a starting point. Preview, then export a WAV with a click-killing fade-in and a clean fade-out.
What length should I export?
15 seconds is the sweet spot for trends and loops; 30 for storytelling cuts; 60 for mini-performances. Platforms trim anything longer — cutting to length yourself keeps control of what survives.
Is the 'loudest section' really the best part?
Often, not always — choruses are usually loudest, which is why the heuristic works at all. But a whispered pre-drop can out-perform a wall of sound. Treat the suggestion as a starting point and trust your ears for the final slide.
What format do I get?
Uncompressed WAV, ready for your editor. Need the audio as a video file for direct upload? The Song→Video maker next door does exactly that.
