Clip Nugget
Your file, not a link
Download or export the long video, then drop it in. There is no "paste a URL" box, because the cut should not depend on a public page.
Use case
Turn a long recording into Shorts, then send them to YouTube
Clip Nugget does not start from a YouTube URL. You import the file you own, cut the vertical clips locally, and can upload the finished Shorts to your channel from the app. The source never has to be public first.
On your computer
What Clip Nugget actually does here
Direct upload of the result
Finished Shorts can go to YouTube without leaving the app. TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn scheduling is not included.
Same editor for the whole batch
Highlight detection, face tracking, and captions are in one project. You are not renting a cloud minute for each clip.

FAQ
Questions about this comparison
Can I paste a YouTube link?
No. Import a file. Tools that start from a link upload or pull that video into their cloud.
Does the upload include the long video?
No. You upload the Short you exported. The source stays on your computer.
What about a video that is not mine?
Clip Nugget is for recordings you have the file for. It is not a downloader.
Do I need a subscription to upload?
The YouTube upload is in the app. Free exports carry a watermark and stop at 1080p. Pro removes both with a one-time license.
