One recording, a week of clips

A long conversation usually has several moments that stand on their own: a strong opinion, a story, a quick tip. Finding and cutting them by hand means scrubbing through the whole episode. AI clips reads the full transcript, picks those moments (aiming for about one clip per two minutes of episode, between 3 and 12), and scores each one so you can start with the strongest.

The Podcast-to-Clips Toolkit

The AI picks the moments

Each clip gets a 0–100 virality score built from hook, story, emotion and shareability. Choose the clip length: auto (15–80 s), short, medium or long.

Reframed around the speaker

Landscape episodes become 9:16. Face tracking follows the active speaker, two-person shots can use a split layout, and shots with no face are letterboxed.

Captions on every clip

Word-by-word captions are added automatically in the style you pick before you start. They cover everyone who speaks, without speaker labels.

Clean audio (Pro)

ElevenLabs voice isolation removes background noise from the voice track. Toggle before and after to compare.
