Works with any public YouTube video that has captions. No signup, no API key.

A podcast is an hour of conversation with maybe a dozen moments that travel. Going podcast → Shorts is a needle-in-haystack problem: the clips are buried across the full episode, and on a two- or three-person show the camera has to follow whoever is talking. Clipflow does the search and the speaker-tracking in one pass.

How it works

podcast episode in, YouTube Shorts out.

  1. 01Import the episodeBring in the podcast video (or audio with a waveform). Clipflow transcribes the whole conversation.
  2. 02Surface the quotable momentsThe clip-finder scans the full episode for self-contained, share-worthy moments instead of you scrubbing an hour of timeline.
  3. 03Reframe with speaker trackingOn multi-guest shows, active-speaker detection keeps the talking guest in frame as the 9:16 crop follows the conversation.
  4. 04Caption and publish as ShortsCaption in your show’s voice, add a tag back to the full episode, and publish or schedule the Shorts.

What you get

Why Clipflow

Finds the buried moments

The strong clips are scattered across an hour. Clipflow surfaces them so you are not scrubbing the whole episode.

Follows the speaker

On two- and three-person shows the 9:16 crop tracks whoever is talking instead of locking on an empty chair.

Feeds the show

Each Short carries a tag back to the full episode, turning discovery into downloads.

Questions

Podcast → Shorts, answered.

How do I turn a podcast into YouTube Shorts?

Import the episode, let Clipflow find the quotable moments across the full conversation, reframe them to 9:16 with speaker tracking, caption them, and publish Shorts that link back to the episode.

Does it work for audio-only podcasts?

Yes. Audio episodes are clipped with a waveform or static visual, captioned, and exported vertical — you do not need a video recording to make Shorts.

Can it follow different speakers?

On multi-guest shows, active-speaker detection keeps the 9:16 crop on whoever is talking, and you can hand-tune any crop before rendering.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — the free plan covers importing an episode, clipping, captioning, and publishing your first Shorts with bundled AI.
