A good podcast clip gives someone a reason to watch without making them listen to the whole episode. Start with one clear answer, story or joke.

Find a moment with an ending

Look for a question and answer, a mistake followed by a lesson, or a story with a payoff. Keep the question if the answer needs it. Listen to the surrounding conversation so the edit does not change what the speaker meant.

Let the framing follow the conversation

SlicePost's clipping engine analyzes camera changes and who appears to be speaking. It can change the framing as the conversation moves between speakers, within your chosen editing mode. When speaker evidence is unclear, Auto can keep the wider picture with a blurred background. Review speaker handoffs and source cuts before exporting.

Check the words and the picture

  • Correct names and numbers in the captions.
  • Keep text away from faces and the social app's controls.
  • Listen for words cut off at the start or end.
  • Watch the exported video on your phone.

Choose different ideas for the batch

Three useful moments are better than three versions of the same sentence. Put each clip through the same review before publishing. Use your own recordings or footage you have permission to edit and share.

Next: write a clear opening.
