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?
- Upload the episode video (MP4 or MOV, 1 to 90 minutes, up to 2 GB) or paste a Google Drive link.
- talkcuts reads the whole transcript and picks the moments that make one complete point.
- 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.
