ClipsMagic for podcasts
Shorts from your podcast episodes
Give ClipsMagic a video podcast episode, as a YouTube link or a file. It reads the transcript, finds the moments a new viewer can follow without the rest of the episode, and cuts each one into a captioned 9:16 short. Each moment shows the scores it was picked on, so you choose what to post.
Or upload the video, up to 5 GB.
Our sample episode in the Highlighter caption style.
What makes a podcast moment work as a short?
Someone who sees your short has not heard the first forty minutes. A moment that leans on an earlier joke, or on a guest the intro introduced, loses them in the first seconds. The moments that work carry their own context.
ClipsMagic scores every moment on five things: whether it stands alone, whether it holds attention, whether it teaches something, whether it is fun to watch, and whether it says something people have not heard. Stands alone counts most.
How does it handle two or three hosts?
The transcript keeps who said each word, so a moment can be a back-and-forth between hosts. Captions follow the words as they are spoken, a few at a time, with the spoken word marked.
Do I need the episode on YouTube?
No. Paste a YouTube link, or upload the video file of the episode, up to 5 GB. An audio-only file has no picture to cut, so bring the video recording.
Which caption style suits an episode?
Start with Highlighter: heavy capitals with the spoken word on yellow, readable with the sound off. You can pick any of the four styles for each short.
What does a month of podcasts cost?
A weekly one-hour show is 5 episodes and about 5 hours of video in a month. Starter covers it, at $7.99 a month.
Plans as of November 2026: Free $0 for 2 episodes and 3 hours, Starter $7.99 for 15 episodes and 15 hours and Pro $19.99 for 200 episodes and 200 hours, each a month. A run that fails does not count. See the plans.
