Features
Finds the Quotable Parts
Scoring favors specific claims, contrarian answers, and stories with a clear arc — the segments that hold someone who has no idea who the guest is.
Framing Follows the Answer
The vertical frame moves to whoever is speaking, so a long guest answer isn't spent looking at the host nodding. Fixed two-shots are supported too.
Word-Synced Captions
Captions timed to speech rather than dropped in sentence blocks, in high-contrast styles built for watching with the sound off — which is how most of this gets watched.
Or Monitor the Whole Channel
Add the show's channel instead of a single link and new episodes get clipped automatically, usually picked up within minutes of publishing.
How It Works
Paste the URL or add the channel
One interview link for a one-off, or the full channel for ongoing monitoring. Source-length limits are 2 hours on Starter, 5 on Pro, 10 on Scale.
The interview gets scored end to end
Every moment is ranked, so the good answer ninety minutes in isn't lost behind the introductions.
Review and post
Around 9 clips come back ranked, each with a 5-criterion breakdown. Auto-approve above a threshold, or review each one and edit boundaries in the timeline editor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of interviews clip best?
Guest-driven conversations where someone says something specific — a founder giving a real number, a researcher contradicting the common advice, a story with a turn in it. Interviews that are mostly rapport and in-jokes clip badly, because the appeal doesn't survive being lifted out of the episode.
How long does a 2-hour interview take to process?
Longer than the roughly 10–15 minutes a typical video takes — processing scales with source length, so a two-hour interview takes proportionally longer. A 2-hour source also costs about 120 credits, billed at 1 credit per source minute.
Can it handle two-speaker setups?
Yes. Framing follows the active speaker, and cuts land on speaker changes rather than mid-sentence — a clip that starts four words into the answer reads as sloppy. For split-screen recordings where both people are always on camera, switch to full-frame.
Do I need to edit clips before posting?
Usually not — clips arrive at 9:16 with captions burned in and framing already applied. But read the captions before you post. Names, technical terms, and thick accents are where transcription slips, and a misspelled guest name in a burned-in caption is not a fixable mistake after the fact.
