AI clipping tool

Feed one of these a podcast or a long upload and it returns a stack of candidate Shorts: moments it judged self-contained, cropped to vertical with the speaker tracked, captions burnt in, often with a predicted score attached. Opus Clip is the name most people know, and there are many others.

The time saved is real and the output is a first pass. These tools find topic boundaries reliably and hooks unreliably, so a clip frequently starts well before the interesting part and ends after the moment has gone. Trim the front, check the captions on every name and piece of jargon, and rewrite whatever title it suggested.
