Podcast clips for Shorts, Reels and TikTok

talkcuts turns a video podcast episode into its 2 or 3 best moments, each a vertical clip with captions for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok. Every clip starts and ends on a full sentence, so a stranger understands it without the rest of the episode. Upload the episode, watch the clips, download the ones you like.

Updated 4 November 2026.

How does it work for a podcast?

  1. Upload the episode video (MP4 or MOV, 1 to 90 minutes, up to 2 GB) or paste a Google Drive link.
  2. talkcuts reads the whole transcript and picks the moments that make one complete point.
  3. Watch each clip and download the ones you want to post. We email you when they're ready.

What do I get back?

  • Your 2 or 3 best moments, each a vertical clip (1080 × 1920 MP4). Short clips are about 25 to 60 seconds; choose "Full thought" and a clip can run up to 3 minutes when the point needs it.
  • Each clip starts and ends on a full sentence. A clip that starts late or ends early is re-cut, or left out.
  • Big captions with the word being said lit up. If you want, add a short title line at the top, for the first 4 seconds or the whole clip.
  • Text to paste for YouTube Shorts, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
  • No talkcuts watermark, also in the free trial.

Does it work for audio-only podcasts?

Not yet. talkcuts needs a video file, because the clips are vertical videos of the people talking.
