Turn long podcast episodes into clips people actually share
Your best lines are buried inside a 2-hour episode. FastClip's AI scans the whole conversation, pulls the moments that pop, and hands you up to 10 vertical Shorts with animated captions in about a minute. Paste the link, get clips your audio feed could never give you.
Why creators use FastClip for podcasters
It listens to the whole episode so you don't have to scrub it
A 90-minute interview has maybe six moments worth clipping, and they're scattered everywhere. FastClip's AI transcribes and reads the full conversation to surface the punchlines, hot takes and emotional turns, so you skip the scrubbing and start with the parts that already land.
Break out of the audio-only feed
Podcast listeners live in apps that don't recommend you to anyone new. A vertical clip on TikTok, Reels or Shorts puts a face and a caption in front of people who've never heard your show, and sends them back to the full episode. FastClip cuts native 9:16 video built for exactly those feeds.
Captions that carry a talking-head clip
Most podcast clips are two people talking, so the words on screen do the heavy lifting. FastClip adds word-by-word animated karaoke captions (MrBeast, CapCut and Hormozi styles) that keep muted, scrolling viewers reading to the end instead of swiping past.
How it works
Paste a link, get clips. About a minute from long video to a batch of vertical Shorts.
Paste your episode link
Drop in the YouTube URL of your full episode, whether it's a solo monologue, a two-mic interview or a panel. Long runtimes are the point here, not a problem to work around.
Let the AI find the moments
FastClip transcribes the conversation, reads it for the strongest beats, and cuts up to 10 vertical Shorts. In about a minute you have a set of clips pulled from across the entire episode, not just the first ten minutes.
Tweak in the browser and post
Open any clip in the browser editor to trim the in and out, fix a caption, or change the style. Then download your 9:16 clips and post them to TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Frequently asked questions
Can FastClip handle a full 2 or 3 hour episode?
Yes. Long episodes are exactly what it's built for. You paste the link to the full YouTube video and the AI works through the entire runtime, picking moments from the start, middle and end, so a great line at the 1h45m mark won't get missed the way it would if you only had time to clip the opening.
My podcast is mostly two people talking. Will the clips still work?
That's the most common case and the captions are why it works. Interview clips live and die on the words, so FastClip puts word-by-word animated captions on every clip to hold attention through a talking-head moment. You get vertical 9:16 video with the speaker framed and the line on screen, ready for Shorts and Reels.
I publish my podcast as a YouTube video. Is that what I paste in?
Yes. If your episode is on YouTube as a video, paste that link and you're set. FastClip reads spoken content, so anything from a video interview to a recorded conversation works. It detects the best moments from the audio and dialogue, not from any particular format.
How many clips do I get from one episode, and what do they cost?
Up to 10 vertical Shorts per episode. You can start free with no card to clip your first episode, and Pro is $100/month when you want to clip your back catalog and every new drop. Every clip comes out 9:16 with animated captions, ready to post.
