ShortyPly - Quick script to convert your CMS to short video home page
Full-screen swipe feed with like, save, share and a Watch Full Video call-to-action
ShortyPly is a vertical short-video layer for an existing video site. Mobile visitors land in a full-screen swipe feed of short clips, and every clip links to the full-length video, turning mobile traffic into paying viewers. It also runs standalone, with its own admin panel for catalogue, clips, monetisation and compliance.

Features
Grouped by where the work happens, not one flat list.
Viewer feed and playback7
- Vertical swipe feed with scroll-snap, one clip per screen
- Auto-advance or loop, tap to pause, scrub-to-seek progress bar
- Mute setting kept across clips and sessions
- Landscape clips framed into portrait (letterbox or crop)
- HLS adaptive streaming, progressive MP4 fallback
- Keyboard navigation on desktop
- In-feed ad slots and upsell cards
Smooth streaming5
- Each clip starts on its lowest rendition, then steps up to what the connection sustains
- Next clips' playlists and first segments are pre-fetched at low priority
- Only the clips next to the active one mount a video element, so memory stays flat
- Pre-fetcher and player share one quality policy, so warmed segments are the ones played
- HTTP 206 range requests and automatic recovery from network and media errors
Discovery and accounts5
- Explore by category and tag, with search
- Creator/channel pages and tag feeds
- Shareable deep links to a single clip that continue into the feed
- Register and log in; like, save and watch history per viewer
- "Not interested" to hide a clip
Monetisation5
- Watch Full Video call-to-action on every clip
- Subscription plans and Stripe checkout flow
- Premium clips gated behind a subscription
- Upsell cards on a configurable cadence
- Funnel attribution: impressions, swipes, completions, CTA taps, conversions

- Videos, clips and a bulk approval queue
- Categories and tags
- Viewer users, premium users and admin staff with roles
