What you get from one episode.
Every episode produces five distinct assets. Trailer and clips lead, the rest are bonus.
Primary
Editorial clips
The bold takes, contrarian opinions, and specific stories your audience would screenshot. Each ranked, scored, and shipped with a written rationale explaining why the model picked it.
Bonus
Captions
Word-by-word animated captions in your brand colors and font. Caption style, position, base color, and highlight color are all configurable per org.
Bonus
Speaker tracking
Vertical crops automatically center on whoever is speaking. Cuts between host and guest are handled per-shot, no manual reframing needed.
Bonus
End cards
A 3-second branded outro appended to every clip and trailer. Uses your logo, your brand colors, and your platform handles. Set once, applies forever.
Bonus
Show notes
A clean draft of show notes pulled from the transcript, ready to paste into your episode description on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.
Picked for your audience. Not for virality.
83% match. Clypt’s model picked the same clips as 20VC’s editorial team.
Generic AI podcast clippers score every moment on a virality model, optimized for short-form engagement on TikTok and YouTube Shorts. That gets you high-energy sound bites that perform fine in a viral feed and fall flat on LinkedIn. The picks look reasonable on a thumbnail and stop holding up the second a real founder or investor watches them. Founders, investors, and operators share specific takes, contrarian arguments, and lived stories. They scroll past the rest.
Clypt was trained on 870+ real editorial decisions from top business shows. The model knows the difference between a clip that gets a comment from a founder and a clip that gets engagement from no one who matters. Every pick ships with a written rationale, so when you review you can see why the model chose it rather than guessing.
The output is also explicitly bimodal: a single trailer that pulls people into the full episode, and standalone clips that work on their own. Most generic tools collapse those into a single queue of short clips, which conflates two different jobs and ships weaker assets for both.
How to make podcast clips with Clypt.
Four steps from paste-link to scheduled posts. You stay in the loop on every clip.
- 1
Paste a YouTube link
Or connect your channel and let Clypt auto-import every new episode. RSS feeds and audio uploads also supported.
- 2
The AI picks the clips
Transcription, clip selection, trailer assembly, captions, speaker tracking, and end cards all happen in one pass. About 15 minutes.
- 3
Review and edit
See every pick with its rationale. Skip the ones you don't want, edit the ones you do, regenerate if you need a different angle.
- 4
Schedule or export
Schedule directly to LinkedIn and X from inside Clypt, or export the MP4s and post them yourself. Your call.
Built for the audience that actually buys from you.
Most AI clip generators are aimed at the broadest possible market: vloggers, TikTokers, course creators, gaming streamers. That breadth comes at a cost. The scoring model has to work for every kind of video, so it defaults to the most common signal, which is high-arousal sound bites. Useful if you sell consumer products. Useless if you sell to founders, investors, and operators.
Clypt is intentionally narrow. We picked one audience, business podcasters with guest-led interview shows, and we tuned the entire stack for it. The clip categories (Bold Claim, Contrarian Take, Business Mechanics, Origin Story, and six more) come from analyzing what actually gets shared inside the VC and operator community on LinkedIn and X. The caption defaults, the end card layouts, the comparison-friendly trailer length, all sized for that surface.
If you host a consumer podcast or a daily news show or a true-crime show, Clypt is the wrong tool. If you host a B2B interview podcast and want clips that founders save and reshare, this is the tool built specifically for that.
Clypt vs Opus Clip vs Submagic vs Castmagic.
The honest side-by-side. Opus Clip is cheaper. We pick fewer clips, and ours are usable on a business podcast.
| Feature | Clypt | Opus Clip | Submagic | Castmagic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selection model | Editorial scoring (trained on 870+ real picks) | Virality Score (Hook, Flow, Value, Trend) | Virality score | Engagement signals (no numeric score) |
| Speaker tracking | Yes | Active Speaker Detection + Auto Reframe | Auto Zoom / subject centering | No |
| End cards + branding | Per-org defaults | Brand Templates (intro/outro cards) | Brand Kit (templates on Pro+) | Audiogram branding only |
What does a weekly 60-min podcast cost?
4 × 60-minute episodes per month. A typical weekly business podcast cadence.
| Tool | Tier required | Monthly | Annual ($/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opus Clip | Pro (Starter's 150 credits doesn't cover 4 × 60 min) | $29 | $14.50 |
| Submagic | Starter + Magic Clips add-on* | $38 combined* | $24 combined* |
| Castmagic | Hobby (transcripts + audiograms, not vertical video) | not disclosed | $21 |
| Clypt | Starter | $49 | $41 |
*Submagic Starter has a 2-min upload cap. Processing a 60-min podcast requires the Magic Clips add-on (+$19/mo monthly, +$12/mo annual). We suspect Starter + Magic Clips covers 4 × 60-min episodes per month, but Submagic’s first-party pages don’t disclose how the add-on counts against the monthly “videos” quota, so this number could be too low.
Who should use which?
If you want the cheapest option and you’re posting volume content for a general social audience, Opus Clip is the better choice. It’s a great horizontal tool, designed to clip anything.
If your audience is founders, investors, and operators, and your reputation rides on what you post, Clypt is built for that. We cost more per minute of audio than Opus does. We also pick fewer clips. Our users consistently rate our picks higher than Opus’s for usability and relevance to their audience. Clypt is the vertical specialist for business podcasts.
The best way to decide is to try both. Drop your YouTube link into the form at the top of this page and see what comes out. Then run the same episode through Opus Clip’s tool and compare the picks side by side. You should absolutely do both.

Scaling Europe ships clips and a trailer for every episode, automatically.
Marika Laine hosts Scaling Europe, a podcast about European tech founders and operators. Before Clypt, the clip workflow was a freelancer turning around assets a week after each episode dropped, which meant most episodes never got the social distribution they deserved.
Today, every new YouTube upload from the Scaling Europe channel auto-imports into Clypt, gets a branded frame, Yellow Pop captions, a 60 to 90 second trailer, and a stack of vertical clips, all in about 15 minutes. The trailer goes out the day the episode drops. The clips spread across the following two weeks.
The whole loop runs on the $99 Growth plan. No clip-editor in the workflow, no Loom handoffs, no missed episodes.

Questions before you start.
Is Clypt a free Opus Clip alternative?
Clypt is not free, but new podcasters get two episodes free with no card required. Paid plans start at $49 per month for 4 episodes. The difference vs Opus Clip is that Clypt is built for business podcasters who care about which clips land with founders, investors, and operators, not which clips go viral on TikTok. Our model agreed with 20VC's editorial team on 83% of their picks. Opus Clip is optimized for volume and broad-platform virality, which is a different job.
How does an AI podcast clip maker actually work?
You connect a YouTube channel or paste an episode link. Clypt transcribes the audio, runs the transcript through a model trained on 870+ real editorial decisions, and picks the moments most likely to be shared by a business audience. Then it crops to vertical, tracks the speaker, adds captions, an end card, and a 60 to 90 second trailer. The whole pass takes about 15 minutes. You review each pick before anything ships.
What format do the clips come in?
Clips render in both 9:16 (LinkedIn, X, Shorts, Reels, TikTok) and 16:9 (YouTube, web embeds) automatically. Each clip ships as a standalone MP4 with baked-in captions, speaker tracking, your logo placement, and an optional end card. You can also export the original cuts without branding if you want to edit further in another tool.
Does this work for audio-only podcasts?
Yes. Audio-only episodes render into polished video clips with a static background, animated word-by-word captions, your logo, and an end card, so they post well on LinkedIn and X. The speaker-tracking and reframing features only apply when there is real video to track.
How long does it take to make clips from a podcast?
About 15 minutes from paste-link to first export, end to end. That covers transcription, clip selection, captions, speaker tracking, end cards, and a separate 60 to 90 second trailer. Auto-import users skip the paste step entirely; clips appear the moment a new episode goes live on the connected YouTube channel.
Can I customize captions and branding?
Yes. Caption style, position, font, brand colors, logo placement, and end card design are all configurable in Settings. Set the defaults once and they apply to every future clip across every podcast in your org.
What if the AI picks bad clips?
For business podcasts, users rate Clypt's picks significantly higher than Opus Clip's, and you see every pick before anything ships. Skip, edit, regenerate. Each clip ships with a written rationale explaining why the model picked it, so the review is faster than scrubbing a timeline.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from Settings → Billing. You keep access until the end of the billing period, and unused episodes roll over up to 2x your monthly limit.
