Features
Cuts on speaker changes, not mid-answer
A podcast clip that starts halfway through a guest's sentence reads as broken. Multi-speaker handling means cuts land on the turn, so each clip opens on someone beginning to say something.
Soundbites ranked, with reasoning
Every candidate gets a virality score split into five criteria, so a strong opinion with no payoff is easy to tell apart from one that actually lands.
Both people stay in frame
The vertical crop follows whoever is talking, so an exchange plays as a conversation instead of a still shot of the person listening.
Every new episode, automatically
Monitor the show's YouTube, Twitch, or Kick channel and new episodes get clipped without a submission step, usually within minutes of publishing.
How It Works
Paste an episode URL
Anything from a 30-minute chat to a three-hour interview. Source length caps are 2 hours on Starter, 5 on Pro, 10 on Scale.
The strongest moments get ranked
Each segment is scored for whether it stands alone and holds attention, and the list comes back ordered with the breakdown visible.
Post, schedule, or download
Captioned vertical clips go out to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and 10+ other destinations, or download them and post by hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the podcast clip maker find the best moments?
It reads the whole episode and scores segments for the things that survive out of context: a clear claim, a disagreement, a story with an ending, a line that makes sense to someone who has not heard the previous 40 minutes. That last one is where most manually chosen podcast clips fail — the moment felt great in the room and means nothing cold.
Can I clip any podcast that's on YouTube?
Any public YouTube video works, plus Twitch and Kick VODs. Paste the episode URL, or add the channel to monitoring so new episodes get picked up on their own.
How many clips do I get per episode?
Around nine from a typical episode, though a dense two-hour interview gives more usable material than a rambling one. Per-video caps are 6 clips on Starter, 12 on Pro, 15 on Scale.
Do podcast clips need captions?
More than most formats. Podcast clips are talking heads with no visual hook, so a viewer with the sound off has nothing to hold onto unless the words are on screen. Captions are burned into every clip by default, word-synced, and editable on web when a guest's name comes out wrong.
Can I automatically clip every new episode?
Yes. Add the show's channel to monitoring and new episodes are detected and clipped without you doing anything, usually within minutes of publishing. Clips can go straight to your accounts or wait for approval — most people leave approval on until they trust the output.
How much does it cost to clip a podcast?
Credits are one per minute of source video, so a 90-minute episode costs 90 credits. Starter is $19.99/mo with 200 credits, Pro $39.99/mo with 500, Scale $79.99/mo with 1200. If you publish weekly long-form episodes, Pro is usually the plan that fits; a daily show needs Scale.
