ja-dubMulti-Audio Track Selection
When a YouTube video contains multiple audio streams (such as localized language dubs or audio commentary), YTSlicer inspects the stream list and exposes them in the editor. You can select the specific audio track before processing your clip.
isOriginal)Vertical 9:16 Output Canvas
Need a clip formatted for mobile viewing? YTSlicer can place the original 16:9 video centered within a vertical 9:16 canvas. The scale decreases to fit the 9:16 width while black letterboxing is applied top and bottom to preserve 100% of the original video picture.
Section-Based Processing Pipeline
Process only the section you need through a stream-optimized cloud pipeline.
Section Range Downloading
Using yt-dlp section downloading (--download-sections), the worker fetches only the required time segment, saving bandwidth and processing time.
FFmpeg Rendering Pipeline
The background worker executes FFmpeg with exact -ss 0 -to clip_duration boundaries, H.264 video encoding, and AAC audio encoding at 128k bitrate.
Output File Size Tracking
Once rendering completes, the worker records exact output file bytes (output_bytes) and generates a secure download route for the clip.
100% Watermark-Free
All processed clips are exported clean with zero added watermark logos, forced visual overlays, or added brand graphics.
