ClipRiverThe good part is at minute 38
Most listeners never get that far, and people who don't know you will never press play on an hour-long episode.
For podcasters, coaches and consultants
Podcast clipping service: 20 to 30 shorts a month from your episodes
ClipRiver is a podcast clipping service with a human editor. You send the episode link. We pick the moments where a guest says something sharp, cut them to vertical, add captions people can read on mute, and send you a month of shorts with titles ready to paste.
- An editor picks the moments, not a keyword script
- Captions in your fonts, checked for spelling
- Your first 3 clips are free
Why good episodes stay unseen
Long episodes reach few people, and cutting clips by hand eats a day per episode.
Clipping takes a full day
Finding the moments, reframing two people into a vertical frame and timing captions adds up to six or eight hours per episode.
Auto-clippers cut mid-thought
Tools look for keywords and loud moments. You get clips that start in the middle of a sentence and end before the point lands.
How a month of clips gets made
You send episodes
A YouTube link, a Riverside project or raw files in a shared folder.
We list the moments
You get a short list with timecodes and a one-line hook for each. Cross out anything you don't want public.
We edit
Speaker-tracking crop, captions, a hook title in the first second and a cover frame.
You post
Clips arrive in weekly batches with a suggested title and description for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
What every clip comes with
A strong first line
Each clip opens on the sentence that makes someone stop scrolling. Small talk stays out.
Readable captions
Word-by-word captions sized for a phone and proofread by a person.
Cover and title
So the clip looks right in your profile grid and needs no extra work before posting.

Frequently asked questions
What are the 3 free clips?
Send one episode. We cut three clips from it so you can see the style and caption quality before paying for anything.
How long is each clip?
Usually 20 to 60 seconds. We cut where the thought ends, so some run shorter.
Can we approve moments before editing?
Yes. You get the list of moments with timecodes first, and we only edit what you approve.
Do you work with audio-only podcasts?
Yes, with an audiogram style: waveform, captions and your cover art. Video podcasts give better results on Shorts and Reels.
