How it works

Step 1

Paste the episode link

Add the URL of the podcast episode on YouTube. It needs captions or auto-generated subtitles.

Step 2

Get a list of moments

AI reads the transcript and returns up to 8 podcast clips with start and end timestamps, a title and a hook.

Step 3

Play each clip

Preview any clip on the page. It plays only that time range of the original YouTube video.

Step 4

Cut it in Bitcut

Open the app on iPhone to trim the clip, crop it to vertical, add subtitles and export.

Make podcast clips from a YouTube episode

A podcast episode runs an hour or more, and the part worth sharing is often a few minutes long. This podcast clip maker reads the captions of the episode and returns the segments that stand on their own: a story, a strong opinion, a clear answer to a question.

Every clip comes with a start, an end, a title and a hook, plus a player that jumps to that range of the original video. Nothing is downloaded, so you can check ten moments in a minute.

Clip your own podcast recording on iPhone

If the episode is a file on your phone, import it into Bitcut. Generate Shorts cuts the recording into vertical clips, and Topic Search finds a part by phrase — type "find the part about pricing" and jump to it.

Voice Enhancement cleans up the voices, and animated word-by-word subtitles make the clip readable without sound. The app takes video files; an audio-only recording cannot be imported.
