⚠️ How YouTube import works: Paste any YouTube URL and we'll load the video's thumbnail and metadata for preview. To process the actual video, you'll need to download it first using a tool like yt-dlp or cobalt.tools, then upload the file above. This is due to YouTube's terms of service — direct browser access to YouTube streams is blocked.

Once you've downloaded the video, upload it in the Upload Video File tab above to create your shorts.
