Let Auk Video find the moments
Press Make clips. Auk Video reads the whole transcript, picks moments that make sense on their own, crops to whoever is talking and splits the screen when two people share a shot. You get an email when the clips are ready.
Review and post to Shorts
Open any clip to trim it or fix a word, then download the MP4 or schedule it to YouTube Shorts, TikTok or Reels.
It stays on whoever is talking.
Auk Video follows the active speaker, so the vertical crop holds the person talking instead of the middle of the room. Move the framing yourself in the editor whenever you disagree with it.
Built for the silent scroll.
Timed to each word
The transcript carries a timing per word, so the highlight moves with the speech.

Questions
How do I turn a podcast into YouTube Shorts?
Sign up free at www.auk.video, then paste the link to your episode on Home or upload the video file. Auk Video picks moments that make sense on their own, reframes them to vertical around whoever is speaking and captions them. Review the clips, edit any you want, then download them or publish to YouTube Shorts.
Is there a free AI podcast clip generator?
Yes. Auk Video gives a new account free credits with no card needed, enough to try it on your own episode, or a Section of a long one, and download the clips. Exports carry an Auk Video watermark only on the free plan; on a paid plan they are clean, and you can render your earlier clips again without it, for free.
How do I make podcast clips for TikTok and Instagram?
Make them once in Auk Video: every clip is a vertical 1080 by 1920 video that fits YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. Publish or schedule it to all three from Auk Video, or download the MP4.
How long should podcast clips be?
There is no single right length: a clip should run as long as the moment needs to make sense on its own. Auk Video clips run up to 105 seconds, which fits YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels; leave Clip length on Auto and Auk Video picks the length that fits each moment, or choose a range yourself.
How do I clip part of a podcast?
Paste the link to your episode or upload it, then under Section in the Make clips window drag the handles or type a start and end time. Auk Video looks for clips only inside that part, and you pay only for its minutes.
Can I post podcast clips on TikTok?
Yes, clips of your own podcast, or of a show whose owner has given you permission. Auk Video makes each clip a vertical 1080 by 1920 video with captions, and can publish or schedule it to TikTok for you.
