ClipForge detects the most compelling moments in your podcast episodes and transforms them into scroll-stopping clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels.
Reviewing 60-90 minute episodes to find 30-second moments is tedious and unsustainable at scale.
Podcast discovery depends on short-form video. Without clips, new listeners never find your show.
Each platform has different aspect ratios, caption requirements, and optimal durations.
AI reads the full transcript and finds the emotional peaks, hot takes, and story climaxes automatically.
Exports convert 16:9 footage to 9:16 with a center crop. Speakers are not tracked yet, so single-camera and center-framed shots crop best.
Bold Pop, Karaoke and Minimal caption styles designed for social feeds where 80%+ of viewers watch on mute.
Claude AI generates 5 hook variants per clip — curiosity, story, authority, and more — so you always have a scroll-stopping opening ready.
Export all clips at once with platform-specific presets. One upload, a week of content.
Upload the episode and ClipForge transcribes it, scores every moment for standalone value, and returns the highest-scoring segments already cut, captioned, and reframed to 9:16. A typical 60-minute episode yields around 12 usable clips. You review and export rather than hunt through a timeline, so the work is selection instead of editing.
Yes. Audio-only episodes are supported, and captions carry the visual weight since there is no video track to cut against. This matters more than it sounds: most short-form video is watched with the sound off, so a well-captioned audio clip can outperform a poorly captioned video one on the same platforms.
Processing runs on the server while you do something else: the episode is converted, transcribed and searched for clips, and the project page shows each step. Review time is usually 5 to 8 minutes per clip. Compared with manual editing at 45 to 90 minutes per clip, the constraint moves from production hours to how many clips you actually want to publish.
Audio alone is enough. If you do record video, ClipForge converts it to vertical with a center crop. Speakers are not tracked yet, so a wide multi-host shot can lose someone at the edge of the frame. Recording each host on their own camera, or framing hosts close together, gives clean vertical crops.
Creator at $19 a month covers 20 projects, which is comfortable for a weekly show with room to reprocess. Pro at $49 adds the AI Hook Writer and viral forecast, and is the better fit once you are clipping every episode.
