Podcasters
A 60-minute interview episode typically contains five to ten quotable moments. Turn each one into a YouTube Short or Reel so the audio podcast has a steady visual flywheel pulling listeners in.
Every podcast, webinar, and interview already contains a week of social posts. Very Big Clips helps you pull them out by highlighting transcript text — no video editor in the loop.
Repurpose a video freeThe problem
Podcasts, webinars, and recorded interviews are expensive to produce — they take an hour of guest time, a session of editing, and a host's preparation. Once published, most of them are heard once and forgotten. The short-form clips that could carry the same ideas to a much larger audience never get made, because making them is its own project.
The reason that project keeps getting pushed is that traditional editors are not built for it. Premiere, DaVinci, and CapCut all assume you start from a timeline and look for the right moment by scrubbing. Reading a transcript and clicking on the sentence you want is a different shape of work — and the shape that actually maps to how you remember the conversation.
Step-by-step
Connect Google Drive™ or upload directly. Podcast episodes, webinar recordings, recorded interviews, and course modules are all strong source material because each one contains multiple self-contained ideas.
Read the AI-generated transcript and drag across the passages you want to pull out. This is the part that should feel familiar from reading an article — selecting the line that mattered. Each highlight becomes a clip candidate.
Combine multiple highlights into one clip when the setup and payoff are not adjacent in the original. The strongest 60-second clips usually pair a question from one moment with an answer from another — stitching makes that trivial.
Apply your caption template and render. Publish to YouTube directly, or download the rendered MP4 for TikTok, Reels, and LinkedIn — each one is already in 9:16 with captions burned in.
Who this is for
A 60-minute interview episode typically contains five to ten quotable moments. Turn each one into a YouTube Short or Reel so the audio podcast has a steady visual flywheel pulling listeners in.
Live webinars usually run 30 to 60 minutes and generate one big watch event. Repurposing them into a series of short clips gives the same content a second life across the next three months of social posting.
Each lesson in a course is already a self-contained idea. Free shorts pulled from paid lessons make a strong top-of-funnel asset — the social clip teases the value, the full course delivers it.
FAQ
Anything with multiple self-contained ideas — interview podcasts, webinars, recorded courses, conference talks, AMAs, and panel discussions. Highly narrative or scripted formats like documentaries are harder to repurpose because they depend on context that gets lost when you cut a 60-second slice.
From upload to a batch of finished shorts, expect 30 to 45 minutes for a 60-minute source video. Most of that time is reading the transcript and choosing the clips — the rendering itself runs in the background on Cloud Run.
Yes. Highlight multiple passages and stitch them together into a single short. This is the feature you reach for when the strongest version of a clip pairs a setup from minute 12 with a payoff from minute 38.
You keep doing that. Very Big Clips is the repurposing layer — it works on the finished long-form once it is exported. Most teams keep Premiere or DaVinci for the original edit and use Very Big Clips for the steady drip of social output.
It suggests, you decide. The AI surfaces five to ten passages it thinks would work as shorts. You can accept them, adjust the boundaries, ignore them entirely, or highlight your own. The transcript stays the source of truth either way.
