Features
Episode Monitoring
Add the show's channel and new episodes are picked up automatically, usually within minutes of publishing. Nothing to paste on release day.
Moments That Stand Alone
The scoring favors segments that make sense without the surrounding hour — a specific number, a clear disagreement, a story with a beginning and an end.
Active-Speaker Framing
16:9 podcast footage becomes 9:16 with the frame following whoever is talking, or held as a fixed two-shot if that's how the show is recorded.
Scheduled Shorts Posting
Approved clips go out in your chosen windows, spaced rather than dumped, alongside any of the other 9 destinations you've connected.
How It Works
Add the podcast channel
Paste the channel URL and turn on monitoring. Starter covers 1 channel, Pro 3, Scale 10.
The episode gets scored
The full episode is ranked moment by moment. Credits bill at 1 per source minute, so a 90-minute episode costs 90 out of your 200, 500, or 1200 monthly allowance.
Clips go live on schedule
Around 9 clips come back from a typical episode, ranked. A typical video is ready in about 10–15 minutes; a three-hour episode takes proportionally longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What podcast categories work best on Shorts?
Anything where a single point can be made in a minute and still mean something — business, health science, true crime, tech. Dense, specific content survives being cut out of its episode. Shows whose appeal is the hosts' rapport over two hours are much harder to clip, because the thing people like isn't in any one minute of it.
How many Shorts can one episode produce?
Around 9 from a typical episode, more from a long, dense one. Your per-video ceiling is 6 on Starter, 12 on Pro, and 15 on Scale. Starting near 5 keeps the review pass short while you learn which clips your audience actually responds to.
What clip length should I aim for?
Let the point finish. A claim cut off before its payoff underperforms a slightly longer clip that lands, and a padded clip stretched to hit a number loses people before the end. Set a length range per channel, watch your own retention, and adjust — your show's numbers beat any general rule.
Does it handle two-host formats?
Yes. The frame follows the active speaker by default. If your show is recorded as a fixed split-screen where both hosts are always visible, switch to full-frame so you're not cropping out half the conversation. Multi-speaker handling also means cuts land on speaker changes rather than mid-sentence.
