AI podcast clips, ready to post. Scored, captioned, framed on whoever is talking.
Podcast clips are short vertical cuts of an episode, captioned for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. With FilmScribe, you upload the video episode or paste the YouTube link, and we transcribe every word with the speakers separated, score the best moments from 0 to 100 and hand you clips framed on the active speaker.
Updated
What slows down podcast clips. And how we handle each one.
Listening to 90 minutes to find 60 seconds
The best moment could be at minute 12 or minute 74, and you only find out by scrubbing through the whole thing. We read the entire episode, pull 4 to 60 moments and give each one a 0 to 100 score and a type: story, opinion, humor, insight, hook. You start at the top of the list, not at the top of the file.
Two people at the table, one vertical screen
A 9:16 frame can't hold the whole desk. The frame follows whoever is talking and hard-cuts when the turn changes. When a moment needs both faces, split screen puts each speaker in one half. It works for a two-camera studio setup or a single wide shot of the table.
Typing captions word by word
Pick from 235 styles, from classic broadcast to word-by-word animated, in 54 fonts, with keywords highlighted for you. Captions arrive already synced. If the guest's name came out wrong, fix it once in the transcript and the fix carries into the captions of every clip.
Dead air, “um” and “like”
Good conversation breathes, but a social clip needs pace. Remove pauses at three levels (light, balanced or aggressive) and cut filler words from a list you control. The clip gets tighter without feeling chopped.
Timestamps for the episode description
Chapters come out with titles and times in the format YouTube reads from a description. The same list works in your Spotify episode description and in other podcast players. Nobody has to scrub back through the episode to note when each topic started.
Show notes, blog posts and the newsletter
The full transcript exports as TXT or PDF, with every passage marked by speaker. That is where your quote cards, blog post, newsletter and episode page come from. Your favorite lines stay marked so you can find them later.
How FilmScribe clips your episode in 3 steps
- 01
Upload the episode
Audio or video files of any length, or a YouTube link, livestreams included. Select only the conversation and leave the intro music and the sponsor read out.
- 02
We find the moments
We transcribe with speakers separated, break the episode into chapters and pick clips in the length range you chose, each with a score and a type. Want a specific angle? Type it: “only the parts about money”.
- 03
Adjust and post
Trim the start and end word by word, choose a caption style and one of 48 templates and download in 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. On paid plans there is no watermark and the original quality is kept.
One 78-minute episode, from upload to a week of posts
Picture a video podcast shot on two cameras and cut into a single file: 78 minutes between the host, Maya, and her guest, Chris, a small-business owner who went broke at 30 and rebuilt. On Monday morning Maya uploads it and selects 00:45 to 1:17:30, skipping the intro music and the sponsor read at the end.
When processing finishes, the transcript already separates the two voices. On Studio, each speaker shows up by name, so the text reads “Maya” and “Chris” instead of Speaker 1 and Speaker 2. Chapters split the episode into five parts, from the cold open to listener questions, and every line has its emotion marked. She understands the shape of the conversation without pressing play.
The clips tab holds 14 clips in the 30- to 59-second range, sorted by score. The top one, a 94, is a story: the day Chris closed his shop. Next comes an 88, a short opinion about spreadsheets and nerve. A humor clip at 81 rounds out the three she picks for the week. Narrative hooks point to the strongest line to open the full episode on YouTube.
Maya opens the 94 and notices it starts half a sentence early. She trims the start word by word in the transcript, turns on pause removal at the balanced level and strips the guest's “like” and “you know”. The frame stays on Chris and hard-cuts to her when she asks the question. She picks the karaoke caption style with keywords highlighted and the podcast template, which puts the clip title across the top.
The chapters go straight into the YouTube and Spotify descriptions. The PDF transcript becomes the base for the show notes, and three favorite lines become quote cards for Instagram. The team's editor finishes the long version in Premiere Pro, so he gets a cut timeline with the marked sections instead of a list of timecodes typed by hand.
From Monday to Sunday, Maya has one clip a day, a timestamped description, the episode text and the quotes. The episode used about 1 hour and 17 minutes of her plan. On Pro, with 10 hours a month, that leaves almost 9 hours; on Studio, with 20 hours, more than 18. A weekly episode of that length fits any plan with room to spare.

Frequently asked questions
Is FilmScribe an AI podcast clip generator?
Yes. Upload the episode or paste the YouTube link, pick a length range (auto, up to 30 s, 30 to 59 s, 60 to 89 s or 90 s to 3 min) and we deliver vertical clips with captions, a 0 to 100 score and the frame on whoever is talking. You review, trim word by word and download.
Do vertical clips work with two people at the table?
Yes. The frame follows whoever is talking and hard-cuts when the turn changes, so the 9:16 version always shows the right person. When a moment needs both faces, split screen puts each speaker in one half. It works for two-camera studio shows and for a single wide shot of the table.
How many clips do I get per episode?
Between 4 and 60 automatic clips per episode, sorted by score and labeled by moment type: story, opinion, humor, insight, hook. You can also make manual clips from any line in the transcript, or type an instruction before processing, like “only the parts about money”.
Does it work for audio-only podcasts?
It works for everything text-based: transcript with speakers, chapters, emotions and MP3 snippets and, on Studio and Agency, hooks, script and the sequence for your editor. Vertical clips, burned-in captions and templates need video. If your show also goes out as video on YouTube, paste that episode's link and get both.
Is the episode transcript included?
Yes. The same upload gives you a word-by-word transcript with a timestamp on every word and lines split by speaker, in 90+ languages. Correct the text on screen, search any phrase and export as TXT, PDF or SRT for show notes, blog posts and captions on the full episode.
Do the clips have a watermark?
Not on paid plans. During the 3-day trial, clips end with the FilmScribe mark. Original quality is kept on download, and an episode pulled from YouTube can be downloaded in up to 1440p on Pro and in 4K on Studio and Agency.
How much does it cost to clip a weekly podcast?
It depends on your hours of episodes. One 80-minute episode a week is about 6 hours a month and fits Pro, with 10 hours for R$ 59. Two episodes a week call for Studio, with 20 hours for R$ 89, named speakers and scored hooks. You can try it before adding a card.
