Interviews

Extract the most quotable interview moments

A three-hour interview is the highest-yield source material in short-form, and the least practical to clip by hand. The quotable moments are unpredictable and evenly scattered, so there's no shortcut but watching all of it. AutoClip runs that pass and cuts on speaker changes, so a clip doesn't open half a word into someone's answer.

The Problem

Three hours of conversation, no way to skim it for the good parts
Cutting a two-person conversation badly is worse than not clipping it
Interview clips are dialogue — uncaptioned, they don't survive a muted feed
Several interview channels publishing weekly outpaces one person clipping

How AutoClip Helps

Finds the answers that stand alone — the admission, the disagreement, the story that finishes
Multi-speaker handling puts cuts on speaker changes rather than mid-sentence
Monitors several interview channels at once: 3 on Pro, 10 on Scale
Word-synced captions you can edit on web before anything posts

Example Workflow

  1. 1
    Monitor interview channels
  2. 2
    a three-hour episode publishes
  3. 3
    AutoClip pulls the strongest self-contained exchanges, cuts them on speaker turns, captions them
  4. 4
    a long source takes proportionally longer than the usual 10–15 minutes
  5. 5
    clips land in your library ready to review.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many clips come out of a long interview?

Around 9 from a typical video, and long interviews reliably fill the plan cap — 6 on Starter, 12 on Pro, 15 on Scale. Note the credit side: 1 credit equals 1 source minute, so a three-hour interview costs about 180 credits. On Starter's 200 that's your month; on Pro's 500 you get two or three, and Scale's 1200 is where heavy interview clipping actually fits.

Are captions added automatically?

Yes, burned in and word-synced, and editable on web before the clip goes out. For interviews that edit pass is worth doing — names, companies, and technical terms are where captions slip, and a misspelled guest name in a caption is the detail people reply to. Translation and dubbing into 31 languages are on Pro and up.

What interview moments actually travel?

An admission the guest didn't plan to make. A direct disagreement between host and guest. A number or a claim stated flatly enough to argue with. What doesn't travel is a good answer that needs the prior ten minutes — it scores well, it clips flat, and you'll want to drop it from the batch.

Can I clip every new episode from a channel?

Yes. Add the channel to monitoring and new episodes get clipped without a manual submission. Interview shows are among the best fits for monitoring because they publish on a predictable schedule, so your posting cadence follows theirs. Sources up to 2 hours on Starter, 5 on Pro, and 10 on Scale.

Does vertical reframing work on two-person interviews?

Yes — tracking follows whoever is speaking, so a 9:16 crop of a two-shot stays on the right person through the exchange. Where you'd rather show both faces at once, Scale's multi-region layouts do that instead of picking one, and Pro's multi-aspect export lets you publish 1:1 or 4:5 where a vertical crop loses too much of the room.
