Four hours of podcast in. Three shorts out.
Give your AI the episode and one sentence. It finds the moments, cuts them vertical, writes the hook and captions every word.
Here's a 4-hour Lex Fridman episode with Paul Rosolie. Find the three moments people would actually stop scrolling for, cut each into a vertical short for my podcast-clips account, keep him in frame, caption every word, and open each one with a hook.
- Transcribing the episode — 4 h 02 m
- Picked three moments: the anaconda, the stomach acid, the bushmaster
- Reframing 16:9 → 9:16, keeping Paul in frame
- Writing a hook for each · captioning every word
- Scoring and mixing

Short 1 · Anaconda
And I know this because I've been in that crush before JJ pulled me out of it. And all of a sudden, I just hear like the sound of a wet stick snapping, just that that bone crunch. And I looked down and there's about a 16 foot anaconda wrapped around a freshly killed peckery wild boar. The anaconda had grabbed it by the jaw, swiped the legs, wrapped around it, bent it in half, and then then crushed its ribs. Then they use their weight pull you down to hell, to pull you down into that water wrap around you and then start breaking you. And every breath you take, you're up against a barrier. And then when you exhale, they go a little little tighter and you're never going to get that space back. Your lungs are never going to expand again.
Short 2 · Stomach acid
An anaconda has stomach acid capable of digesting an entire crocodile, when nothing comes out the other side. And when you see how thick the bony plate of a crocodile skull is, that that can go in the mouth and nothing comes out the other side. That's insane.
Short 3 · Bushmaster
And so I once came across a bushmaster in the jungle at night. And this bushmaster turned its head towards me, looked at me, and made it very clear, I'm gonna go this way. And so I did the natural thing that any snake enthusiasts would do, and I i grabbed its tail. Now 11 feet later by the head, the snake turned around and just said, if if you wanna meet god, I can arrange the meeting. I will oblige.
Four hours, three moments.

- 1
Read the whole episode
Transcribed every word and picked the three stories with a turn in them.
- 2
Cut each one tight
Dropped the run-up and the dead air, so every short starts on the line that makes you stay.
- 3
Reframed 16:9 to 9:16
Kept the speaker in frame through the whole short, with punch-ins on the beats.

Wrote the hook
A two-line card for the first three seconds, and a cut-away to the animal when the story names it.
- 5
Captioned every word
Two words at a time, big enough to read on a phone, with a credit for the show.
- 6
Scored it
A low bed under the voice and hits on the turns. Short three ends on its last word, so it loops.
