Podcast clips from your video episodes

Last updated: 10 November 2026

A one-hour conversation holds plenty of passages that work on their own: a clear answer, a story, a strong opinion. Finding them by hand means scrubbing through the whole episode. snipo reads the transcript instead and gives you vertical clips with captions, ready to post.

How it works for a podcast

1. Upload the episode file. Use the video export from your recording tool. MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and AVI work, up to 2 GB.
2. Choose how many clips and how long. 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Podcasts usually suit 60 or 90 seconds, because answers take time to land.
3. Focus on a topic (Pro). If an episode covers several subjects, name the one you want and snipo looks for clips about it first.
4. Review the scores. Each clip shows hook, flow, engagement and trend, so you can skip the weak ones.
5. Edit and post. Fix any misheard word, pick a caption style, then download or schedule to YouTube.

Settings that suit conversations

• Framing: "Follow speaker" keeps one face in the vertical frame. "Whole picture" keeps a wide two-person shot complete.
• Cut pauses: removes the gaps and hesitations that slow a clip down.
• Title on video: a short headline above the clip tells scrollers what the clip is about before anyone speaks.

Limits to know

• snipo needs video: paste a YouTube video podcast link or upload an MP4/MOV/MKV file (up to 2 GB). For an audio-only show, export a video version first, for example with a still image.
• Free: videos up to 20 minutes, up to 5 clips per video, 30 clips a month, 720p with a small watermark. Pro (£7.99 a month · ~$9.99 USD): up to 60 minutes, 10 clips per video, unlimited clips, 1080p, no watermark. Premium (£18.99 a month · ~$24.99 USD): up to 2 hours and 20 clips per video.

Questions

Can snipo clip an audio-only podcast?

Not directly. It needs a video file, so export the episode as a video (for example with a still image) first.

How long can a podcast episode be?

Up to 20 minutes on Free, 60 minutes on Pro and 2 hours on Premium.
