ClipAtelier

Podcast clip maker

A podcast clip maker built for answers people can finish

Podcast episodes are full of one-minute answers that never leave the long player. A podcast clip maker should find those answers, put the speaker in a vertical frame and caption every word so the clip works on mute.

ClipAtelier does that from a YouTube episode link or an uploaded file on a paid plan. Clips come back ranked, so you pick the five that match this week's topics instead of scrubbing a two-hour timeline.

How it works

  1. 01

    Paste a link

    Drop a YouTube URL into the studio, or upload an MP4, MOV or MKV file on a paid plan. Nothing to install.

  2. 02

    AI finds and cuts

    We transcribe the video, pick the strongest moments, reframe them to 9:16 and burn in word-timed captions.

  3. 03

    Review and post

    Preview every clip, choose a title, then download the MP4 or publish and schedule straight to YouTube Shorts and TikTok.

What to clip from a podcast episode

Look for a complete thought: a story with a punchline, a number with context, a disagreement, a how-to in under a minute. Skip ads, logistics and banter that needs the previous ten minutes to land.

If the episode is audio-only, publish or upload a video version first (static waveform or face cam). ClipAtelier works on video sources so captions and framing have a picture to attach to.

Frequently asked questions

  • Audio-only RSS feeds?

    Upload a video file of the episode on a paid plan, or host a video version on YouTube and paste that link.

  • How is this different from the podcast-to-Shorts page?

    Same product lane. This page is for people searching 'podcast clip maker'; the Shorts page is for people searching the platform conversion.

  • Can I clip any YouTube video?

    No. Only clip videos you own or have permission to use — for example your own uploads, creators who allow clipping (clipping programs), or licensed content. You confirm this when you create an account, and you are responsible for the clips you post.

  • Is it free?

    You can create a free account with no card and look around the studio. Creating clips is on a paid plan, and you can try it for 3 days for $1. Exports have no watermark.

Your next Short is already inside your last video.

No card to look around. Clips start on a paid plan.
