A two-hour talk in a thirty-second clip.

The hardest part of podcast clips is not the cut; it is the caption pass that makes the clip watchable on mute.

  • Word-timed captions on talking-head footage
  • Caption styles that read over busy backgrounds
  • Inline edits and phrase placement
  • 1080p MP4 ready for upload

Problem

Podcast clips need captions to do half the work.

Short cuts of long talks are often watched on mute first. Without captions, the punchline never lands.

Audio is rich, viewing is silent

Most short-form viewers will not hear the conversation.

Talking-head footage is busy

Backgrounds, mics, and faces all compete with captions.

Caption work is repetitive

Across many clips from one episode, captions are the slow step.
