Podcast → Shorts

Turn a podcast into YouTube Shorts.

Mine a full episode for its sharpest moments and publish them as vertical Shorts that pull listeners back to the show.

Try it free — no signup

Paste a YouTube link or transcript and Clipflow will pull the moments worth turning into YouTube Shorts clips — the gist + the clip-worthy beats, in seconds.

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 horizontal studio footage has to be reframed before it works vertical. Clipflow does the search and the reframe in one pass.

How it works

podcast episode in, YouTube Shorts out.

  1. 01Import the episodeBring in the video recording of the episode — a file or its YouTube link. 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 face-trackingThe clips you render are face-tracked, so the 9:16 crop stays on the speaker instead of a static centre box.
  4. 04Caption and publish as ShortsCaption in your show’s voice, add a tag back to the full episode, and publish 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.

Holds the shot on the speaker

The 9:16 crop is face-tracked on the clips you render, so the speaker stays in the shot as they move.

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?

Not for the Shorts themselves — a clip is cut out of a picture, so Clipflow needs the video recording of the episode. Most shows have one: the camera record, or the episode already uploaded to YouTube. Upload the audio and you still get the transcript, the posts and the subtitles, just no vertical clip.

Does the crop follow the speaker?

The clips you render are face-tracked, so the 9:16 crop stays on the speaker, and you can hand-tune any crop before rendering.

Can I clip an episode before paying?

Yes. The 7-day free trial, no card, covers importing an episode, clipping it, captioning and publishing your first Shorts with bundled AI.
