# Turn your podcast into YouTube Shorts

Paste your episode and Cliphi finds the most shareable moments, keeps every host in frame, and adds the captions and music for you.

## How it works

1. **Paste your episode link** Drop your podcast's YouTube link. A full two-hour episode is fine, and you can upload a video file too. Cliphi watches the whole thing.
2. **AI finds the best moments** Cliphi surfaces the lines and exchanges most likely to travel and scores each one, then crops the best to vertical and cuts between hosts.
3. **Post to YouTube Shorts** Each clip comes out vertical and inside the Shorts length limit, with captions on screen and a title and description written for you. Publish from Cliphi or download it.

## Why Cliphi

- **Every host stays in frame** Active speaker detection follows whoever is talking and cuts between guests, so a two or three person episode looks edited, not cropped.
- **One episode, a week of posts** A single episode yields a batch of clips, each with its own caption, so you can feed TikTok, Reels, and Shorts without re-editing.
- **Keeps working after you post** A written title and description help a Short get found in search and on the Shorts shelf, so it can keep pulling views weeks later instead of dying in a day.

## Your best episodes are full of clips you will never cut by hand

Every episode has a few moments that would do numbers as a short. The unexpected confession, the take that splits the room, the line a guest drops without noticing. The hard part is finding them. Scrubbing a two-hour recording to mark timestamps, then cropping to vertical, cutting between speakers, and captioning each clip, is hours of work that most shows cannot spare week after week.

Cliphi does that pass for you. Paste your episode's YouTube link and it listens to the whole thing, surfaces the moments most likely to travel, and scores each one so you know what to post first. You are picking from a ranked shortlist, not guessing.

Multi-person audio is where most automatic clippers fall apart, and it is where Cliphi is strongest. Active speaker detection follows whoever is talking and cuts between hosts and guests, keeping each person centered in the tall frame, so the clip looks intentionally edited. Captions stay synced through accents and crosstalk, so it reads on mute. One episode becomes a batch of posts for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, ready to download or publish from Cliphi.

## Sized for the Shorts shelf

Shorts has its own rules. A clip has to be vertical and under three minutes, and the first couple of seconds decide whether someone watches or swipes away. Cliphi opens on the moment, keeps the framing tall, and burns in captions so the clip reads even on mute.

YouTube leans on text more than other platforms, so Cliphi writes a title and a description too. That matters because a Short can show up in search and on the shelf long after you post it, and it sits right next to your long-form videos, which makes it an easy way to send people back to the full upload.

Shorts also leans on volume, so a batch of clips from one upload gives you something to post most days without filming anything new. And because the export is clean with no watermark, it does not get quietly pushed down as a repost.

## FAQ

### How do I turn my podcast into shorts?

Paste your episode's YouTube link, or upload the video. Cliphi finds the strongest moments and turns each into a vertical clip with captions, music, and speaker tracking.

### Does it work for interviews with several people?

Yes. Active speaker detection follows whoever is talking and cuts between hosts and guests, keeping each person in the vertical frame.

### How many clips do I get from an episode?

A long episode usually yields a batch. Each moment is scored on potential, so you can post the strongest first.

### How long can a YouTube Short be?

Up to three minutes. Cliphi keeps clips inside that limit and trims to the strongest part, so you are not relying on a slow opening to hold attention.
