How to turn a podcast episode into shorts
In short: look for answers and stories that make sense on their own, cut each one to the line that lands, frame the person talking in 9:16, caption every word and post them over the following week. RipClip does the finding, framing and captions from an upload or a Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive link.
What makes a good podcast short
- A complete thought: a question and its answer, or a story with an ending.
- A strong first line: the claim, the surprise or the punchline first.
- One speaker in focus at a time, framed tight.
- Captions, because most podcast moments are all talk.
With RipClip
- Upload the episode (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI or M4V) or share it from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. YouTube links aren't supported.
- RipClip reads the whole episode and cuts the moments that stand on their own into vertical clips, framed on the speaker and captioned word by word.
- Trim, restyle the captions or add music in the editor.
- Schedule them across the week. Posting switches on platform by platform as each one approves RipClip; until then, download your clips and post them yourself.
A one-hour episode uses 42 HU; the free plan's 110 HU are enough for episodes up to four hours.
Questions.
Can RipClip clip a podcast from a YouTube link?
No. Upload the file, or share it from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive.
How many shorts can I get from one episode?
It depends on the episode: every moment that stands on its own is a candidate. RipClip doesn't cap clips; you pay for the length of the video it reads.
