Questions
Does GZOO make shorts from long videos like Opus Clip?
Yes — it pulls moments from long footage and produces captioned, vertical clips, and it also does full editing. See the streamers page for that flow.
Are there monthly minute limits?
No. GZOO does not meter by the minute. You process as much as you want; the only variable cost is your own AI provider usage.
Does GZOO have a virality score?
GZOO focuses on producing a strong, captioned edit rather than a predicted score. It helps you find and cut the moments; you decide what ships.
