Use cases
- Podcast clips: turn a one-hour episode into a week of Shorts, Reels and TikToks with speaker tracking keeping the active guest in frame.

- Agencies: Team plan's shared workspace and roles for managing several clients' social accounts.
Tips for better clips
- Upload the cleanest source you have — better audio gives better transcripts and caption timing.
- Review the AI's picks and trim the first seconds; hooks matter more than length.
- Save a brand template once so every clip uses your fonts and colours.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Hour-based pricing is predictable for high clip volume.
- More editing control than one-click clippers (transcript edit, speaker tracking).
- API on mid-tier plan.
Cons
- Free plan: 1 hour of analysis and projects deleted after 3 days.
- Like all AI clippers, picks need human review for context.

Podcasters and creators making 50+ clips a month who want to refine AI picks.
