YTF TOOL v2 · WINDOWS & MAC · LONG VIDEOS AND SHORTS · ITS OWN EDITOR

From a title to a
finished video.

Script, voice, footage, and every text and effect on its own track — assembled by the tool and opened in its own editor. You have the last word, then export the MP4. Long videos in 16:9, Shorts in 9:16, or Shorts cut out of a long video you already made.

YTF Editor — a video the tool made, open for the last word
The YTF Editor: the preview with a title taken hold of, the Motion numbers beside it, and every scene, title, caption and sound on its track below
The editor, on a twelve-minute video the tool built: the picture, a title picked up on it, the numbers that follow it, and every scene, title, caption and sound on its own track.

WHAT COMES OUT

Made from one title. Nothing placed by hand.

Frames from a 90-second test video. Every text lands on the word it belongs to; the chart, the counter and the list are drawn from the script's own numbers.

SHORTS

And the same tool makes Shorts.

Pick the shape when you start: a long video in 16:9, or a Short in 9:16 at 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds. A Short is not a long video in a narrow frame — it is written to stop a thumb in its first sentence, cut about every second and a half, and it carries every spoken word on the screen as it is said.

From a title

The same run, in the tall frame: the script written to the seconds rather than the minutes, the footage searched vertical, the pictures drawn 9:16, the cutting twice as busy, and captions on every word.

Out of a video you already made

Point it at a finished video and it reads the script for the moments that stand on their own, then builds a Short out of each: the same voice, the same footage, re-framed. Nothing is written again and no voice is bought.

Still yours to finish

Every Short opens in the same editor, with the captions on their own track, and exports 1080×1920 — or square, or wide with the Short in the middle.

THE EDITOR

The video, and the project behind it.

Every other tool hands you an MP4 and nothing else. YTF opens the finished video in its own editor with every piece still movable — and since YouTube began acting on unedited, mass-produced video, that is the whole difference.

The editor

Roll a cut, split, trim, swap footage, hold a frame, set a speed. Take hold of a title or a picture on the preview and drag it where it belongs. Titles and shapes, a caption's words rewritten, 49 transitions or YTF Magix placing them by what each sentence does, Remove Silences across every track, colour and crop, the sound mixed as you listen. Export presets from 720p to 4K, vertical and square.

Or your editor

Premiere Pro — XML, and timeline.xml beside every video. DaVinci Resolve — OTIO, XML, EDL. Final Cut Pro — FCPXML. CapCut and the rest — a media pack: the video, voice / music / sound stems as WAV, captions as SRT, every title and graphic as PNG with its times, the cut list.

The pieces

_assets\ with every clip and picture by scene, voiceover.srt captions, and youtube_description.txt with chapters, tags and the sources the research found.

The paperwork

SOURCES.html — where every file came from and under what licence — and AI_DISCLOSURE.txt, the honest answer to YouTube's synthetic-content question, per video.

HOW IT WORKS

Your accounts do the work. The tool drives them.

Everything runs on your own computer, on your own keys. Nothing you make passes through us.

TitleType one, or take one from the niche finder. Length, tone, look, the language of the video.
ScriptWritten with Claude on your Anthropic key, in one of 9 languages.
VoiceElevenLabs on your key. Aligned word by word.
FootageFree archives and Pexels; Envato, Leonardo, Google if you have them.
EditorThe timeline opens in the tool's own editor. Fine-tune, export — or take it to Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut, CapCut.
THE PICTURES

Where the pictures come from. And what to expect.

Three libraries, and two generators for what no library has. The tool reads your title and tells you which it will be before you pick anything.

FreePexels3.2 million photos and clips by photographers in 170 countries. Modern, well-lit, generic: people, homes, nature, cities, food, business, tech, pets, travel. Free key.
FreeThe archivesInternet Archive (industrial, educational and advertising film, 1920s–80s), Wikimedia Commons (148 million files — a photo of nearly every place, animal, machine and artwork), NASA, the open museums. No key.
PaidEnvato ElementsAbout 3 million clips in 26 categories — people, nature, city, business, food, medical, technology, vehicles, sports, aerial. Your own subscription, signed in once.
GeneratedLeonardo · Google GeminiFor the shots no library has. Pictures drawn from the script, and animated into short clips where a clip fits. Your own keys, per picture.
Stock covers it
  • home, cleaning, garden, pests
  • health, fitness, food, sleep
  • money, business, work, productivity
  • travel, nature, animals, weather
  • cars, phones, tools — the generic kind
Beyond stock — generated
  • history before the camera, reconstructions
  • “what if”, the future, space beyond NASA
  • a named person, brand, product or case
  • fiction, myth, fantasy, anime
  • one specific thing doing one specific thing

The tool checks your title first.

Confirm a title and it asks what Envato, Pexels and the archives hold for it — then says so, under the two build cards: stock covers this, the world is there but the specifics are not, or beyond stock, generate the pictures. A subject beyond stock recommends the generated build, and on its own the tool leans the video toward drawn pictures rather than forcing clips that do not exist. You know what you will get before anything is spent.

WHAT IT COSTS

Two parts. Only the first one is ours.

A pack of credits, then your own API keys for the script, the voice and any generated pictures. Here is all of it, in one place.

Shorts have their own packs

A Short is under a minute, so it costs a fraction of a long video to make — and it is priced like one. Its own balance on your account: a video credit can be spent on a Short, a Short credit is never spent on a long video.

2 videos and 5 Shorts are free on a new account (4 minutes, 30 seconds) — the first thing you pay for is the sixth Short, not your first look. Paid in the tool with PayPal or Gumroad.

Then your own keys: the tool runs on your accounts, not ours.

Anthropic writes the script, ElevenLabs records the voice, and — only if you pick them — Google or Leonardo draw pictures. Each bills your account, per use. How much depends on the length and on what you pick; measured on one real 10-minute video:

You never guess. The tool shows its estimate for your settings before you press Start, and the running total on screen while it works.

Windows and macOS will warn you the first time. That is expected.

The installer is not signed with a paid code-signing certificate, so SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”: click More info, then Run anyway. The Mac app is not notarized with a paid Apple developer account, so macOS will not open it the first time: System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway, once. Everything it needs is inside the download — nothing is fetched during setup. The install guide walks through both.

DOWNLOAD

QUESTIONS

Asked before buying.

Is this the kind of tool YouTube is closing channels over?

YouTube's rule targets mass-produced, unedited, repetitive video. YTF writes an original script per title, refuses to give the next video the same recipe as the last five, records every clip's source, hands you the disclosure text — and opens the video in an editor with every piece still movable, not as a file to upload blind. It never uploads anything. What you publish is still yours to stand behind.

What does one video really cost me?

One credit from your pack, plus your own keys — roughly $2.40 with free footage and $4.60 with generated pictures on a 10-minute video, less on a shorter one. What it costs has the whole of it; the tool shows your own estimate before Start and the running total while it works.

Does it make YouTube Shorts?

Yes, and they are made as Shorts rather than as a long video squeezed into a narrow frame. You pick the shape on the screen after the title: 16:9, or 9:16 at 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds. A Short is written to its seconds with the hook in the first sentence, the footage is searched vertical and the pictures drawn 9:16, it cuts about every second and a half, every spoken word is on the screen as it is said, and nothing is placed where YouTube draws its own buttons. It can also take a long video you have already made, find the moments that stand on their own, and build a Short out of each — same voice, same footage, re-framed, nothing written again. Shorts have their own packs and their own balance; see What it costs.

What if my subject is not in any stock library?

Then no library will pretend it is. The tool checks the title when you confirm it and says whether Envato, Pexels and the archives hold that world; a history, “what if”, named-person or fiction subject is marked as beyond stock, the generated build is recommended, and the video leans on drawn pictures (Leonardo or Gemini, your keys) rather than clips that do not exist. Establishing shots — a sky, a city, hands at work — still come from the libraries.

Which languages can a video be in?

Nine: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Indonesian — the script, the voice, the titles and the captions are written in the one you pick with the title, not translated. The tool itself speaks English.

Refunds?

Credits are not refundable — which is why 2 videos are free first. Try those on a real title before buying anything.

Do I need Premiere?

No. The tool has its own editor: the finished video opens in it, you fine-tune and export the MP4. If you already work in Premiere Pro (2025 or newer), timeline.xml is written beside every video and the editor exports XML too; DaVinci Resolve takes OTIO, XML or EDL, Final Cut Pro takes FCPXML, and CapCut or any other editor gets the media pack — video, stems, SRT captions, every layer as PNG.

Does it run on a Mac?

Yes — natively, on Apple Silicon (M1 to M5) and on Intel, macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. It is the same tool with the same editor and the same account: the video it makes on a Mac is the one it makes on Windows, with the Mac's own encoder and sound underneath. There is a download for each kind of Mac; the downloads say how to tell which you have.

How many computers, and does it need the internet?

One account, one computer (moving to a new one is a click in the account panel). The 2 free videos are per computer. It needs the internet while it works — the script, the voice, the footage and the licence check — but editing and exporting the result needs nothing.

Try it on a real title.
