Upload your episode, drag two handles to the moment you want, and get back a captioned clip ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts — no watermark, no account, no re-editing in another app.
Most clip tools make you wait for an AI to guess the best moment, or scrub through an editor that wasn't built for this. If you already know the 30 seconds that make the whole episode — the punchline, the hot take, the number that surprised you — this skips straight to cutting it: drag the start and end handles, press one button, get an MP4 with the words burned into the picture.
Upload your episode; it's transcribed on our own GPU so every word gets a timestamp. Scrub the preview and drag the two handles to the segment you want to post, then press cut — the clip is rendered with word-by-word captions burned in, ready to download.
The captions get burned into the picture, so there has to be a picture to burn them into. If your podcast is recorded as video (a Zoom/Riverside/OBS recording, or the version you already post to YouTube), upload that file. An audio-only MP3 has nothing to put the words on — transcribe it on our audio to text page instead, or record video next time.
Prefer to let a model pick the moments for you across a whole episode? That's the automatic version on the homepage tool (upload, tick "keep my file", then "Turn this into short clips").
It will transcribe an MP3 fine, but captions get burned into the picture, so there has to be a picture. Upload the video version of the episode (the Zoom/Riverside/OBS recording, or whatever you post to YouTube) to get a captioned clip.
From 3 seconds up to 3 minutes. Most social clips work best well under a minute.
No. The downloaded MP4 has your video and the captions and nothing else.
Yes — that's the automatic "Turn this into short clips" option on the homepage tool, which reads the whole transcript and picks a few moments itself. This page is for when you already know which bit you want.
No. The upload and the finished clip are deleted with the rest of the job; see privacy.
