Introducing ClipCut: AI Viral Clipping for Podcasts and Talking-Head Video
Scrubbing a 60-minute episode for hooks is a job by itself. ClipCut is an AI clipping tool that analyzes long videos, finds moments likely to perform on short-form, reframes to 9:16, adds animated captions, and exports clips ready for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
It is tuned for talking-head and podcast workflows — including multi-host speaker tracking.
What ClipCut does
Automated long-to-short packaging with a virality lens:
- URL or upload ingest — YouTube, Twitch VODs, Vimeo, and files up to 20GB
- Virality scoring (0–100) — hook strength, emotional peaks, pacing, retention cues
- Active speaker tracking — keeps the talking person centered; split-screen for multi-host
- Animated captions — editable dashboard captions (~95%+ on clear English)
- Fast turnaround — roughly minutes for a hour-long source on standard tiers
- Creator-friendly pricing — free trial credits; paid plans from about $9/month annual

Who it is for
Podcasters, interview shows, and creators who want AI clipping without babysitting a timeline — especially multi-person talking-head formats.
Where it fits in a content stack
ClipCut owns long episode → scored shorts → captioned export. You still choose what to post and when; ClipCut removes the manual hunt for hooks.
Why it matters now
Short-form rewards volume and hooks. Tools that score clips help small teams post the strongest moments first instead of guessing from a waveform.
How teams typically use ClipCut
A podcast producer pastes a YouTube URL, sorts by virality score, edits a few captions, and downloads a week of Shorts. A panel show relies on speaker tracking so vertical crops don’t miss the active host.
Quick tips if you try ClipCut
- Sort by Virality Score, then prune for brand fit.
- Prefer clear audio — caption accuracy follows the recording.
- Use multi-host mode for interviews and panels.
- Export keepers early — trial retention windows are short.
- Email support@clipcut.pro for billing or technical help.
Soft close — related tool
If you also need concept → storyboard → animated or whiteboard explainer / Reels (not talking-avatar presenters), see Scro Explainer. Scro (by NOVAX) is built around approving an AI storyboard before you render — useful when the job is teaching a process, not clipping a long take. Keep ClipCut as the focus of this intro; Scro is only a related option for storyboard-first explainers.
