Every podcast episode has 8 to 15 moments that would perform brilliantly as TikTok or YouTube Shorts. The problem isn't finding them — the problem is the 4 hours of manual editing that stops most podcasters from ever extracting them.

The podcast clipping problem

You record a 60-minute episode. You publish it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. You get 500 streams. Meanwhile, a 45-second clip from someone else's interview goes viral on TikTok and brings them 10,000 new listeners overnight. The difference isn't the content — it's the format. Short-form video is the discovery layer your podcast doesn't have.

How HaikuClip solves it

Paste your YouTube/Spotify URL or upload the MP4 directly. Our AI transcribes the full episode, scores every segment based on hooks, energy, keywords and position, and returns 10-15 pre-cut 9:16 clips with karaoke captions in 5 minutes. You pick the 5 best, fine-tune with the waveform editor if needed, and post.

Transcript-based editing

Click any word in the transcript to jump to that moment. Critical when the AI's cut is 95% right but you want to extend the clip 2 seconds earlier for a better hook.

Scoring across the full episode

Most AI tools weight the early-video moments. HaikuClip's algorithm scores fairly across 60-minute episodes, finding gold in the back half too.

Up to 4-hour episodes

On the Pro plan, upload a full Joe Rogan-length episode. No credit system, no per-minute charge, no 'sorry, your file is too long' errors.

Native French transcription

If you podcast in French, HaikuClip is the only tool with a French-tuned pipeline — proper punctuation, accents, segmentation. No 45-minute manual subtitle fixes per episode.

Frequently asked questions

How many clips can I get from a 60-minute podcast?

10 to 15 usable clips per 60-minute episode. The scoring sorts them by viral potential, so you can pick the top 3-5 to actually post.

Does HaikuClip work with audio-only podcasts?

Yes. Upload an MP3 or WAV and HaikuClip generates a video version with animated waveform background and karaoke captions. Not as engaging as a face-cam podcast but works for audio-only podcasters who want to test short-form.

Can I batch-process multiple episodes?

Each episode is processed individually. On the Pro plan you can have multiple in queue. We're working on a 'sync from RSS feed' option for podcast networks — drop us an email if that's a priority for you.

Will my podcast clips look like everyone else's?

No — captions, fonts, colors and intro/outro are all customizable. Your brand identity is preserved. The 'AI clipper look' is generic captions on a black bar; we let you fully customize.
