Turn podcast episodes into short clips

Why podcast clips rarely get made

The full episode is where your best material lives, but plenty of people meet a show through a short moment in their feed first. Making those moments by hand means scrubbing back through an hour of conversation, cropping a wide shot down to vertical without cutting anyone in half, typing captions, writing a title for each clip, and then uploading the same file to several apps. When the week gets busy, that is the job that slips.

ChopHub takes that whole job: choosing the moments, cutting, cropping, captioning, titling and posting. It was built by a creator who had this exact problem with his own long-form show, which is why it doesn't stop at a folder of downloads. The clips end up scheduled and published. See the ChopHub homepage for the full product tour.

How it works for a podcast episode

1. Upload the episode. Drag in the video file (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, M4V, FLV or WMV) or paste the public YouTube link if the episode is already on your channel.
2. ChopHub finds the moments. It transcribes the conversation and looks for passages that work without the rest of the episode: a strong opening line, a complete thought, a point worth arguing with. Clips come back ranked, so the strongest are listed first.
3. Captions, crop and titles. Each clip is cropped to vertical with the speaker kept in frame, and captions are burned in with word-level timing. On paid plans, AI titles are written for each clip, and you can edit any title, caption or hashtag before it goes out.
4. Schedule or publish. Connect YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn. Turn on scheduling and clips go out across the week at times ranked from your own past results, or leave it off and publish each one yourself with one click.

Clips are typically ready in minutes, not hours, depending on the length of the episode, and processing runs at the same speed on every plan.

Details that matter for podcasts

More than one person on camera

Interview and co-host shows are usually filmed wide. On paid plans, Studio's active-speaker reframing follows whoever is talking when you reframe to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, so the clip doesn't sit on the person who is only listening.

Filler words and dead air

Conversation has "um", "you know" and long pauses. In Studio you can remove filler words and silences in one pass, or delete any word or sentence from the clip's transcript and it is cut from the video. No timeline scrubbing.

Episode length and credits

The longest source you can upload depends on your plan: 30 minutes on Free, 60 minutes on Creator, 2 hours on Pro, 3 hours on Team, and no limit on Content Engine. Billing is 1 credit per minute of video you upload, however many clips come out of it, so a 45-minute episode costs 45 credits. Trimming a long intro or outro before you upload saves credits.

Several shows, several accounts

You can connect more than one account on each platform, including LinkedIn Company Pages, and post a clip to all of them from one upload. Publishing never uses credits.

Who this is for, and who it isn't

What it costs to start

The Free plan needs no card. It gives you 30 free credits to start (30 minutes of video, one-time — they don't refill), up to 2 videos a month, up to 5 clips per video, sources up to 30 minutes, and auto-posting to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram. Free clips carry a ChopHub watermark.
