Turn your video podcast into Shorts and Reels.
An hour-long episode has a dozen moments worth posting, and paid plans take episodes of any length. Paste the YouTube link, describe the moments, and MyShorts cuts them out, frames both speakers in 9:16 and burns in captions.
Free to start, no card. Works with YouTube videos that have captions.
How it works
Paste the episode link
A video podcast published on YouTube, with captions. Nothing to upload.
Describe the moments
“The story about the first job”, “the hottest take”, or let the AI suggest the top moments.
Render the clips
Speaker, Wide or Split framing per clip, captions burned in, full HD.
What you get
Split framing for two people
Stack host and guest in one vertical frame, so nobody gets cropped out of the conversation.
Find moments by description
Search an hour of conversation for the exact exchange you remember.
Captions in the episode’s language
Hindi episodes get Devanagari captions; Hinglish stays Hinglish.
Trim to the hook
Nudge the start and end a second at a time so each clip opens on its strongest line.
Why podcasts make the best Shorts
Podcasts are long, unscripted and full of moments that stand alone: a story, a disagreement, a number nobody expected. That makes them the richest source of short clips, and also the slowest to edit by hand. Finding the moment means re-listening, and cropping a two-person shot to vertical usually cuts someone out. MyShorts reads the transcript so you can find a moment by describing it, and its Split framing keeps both people in the shot.
From episode to a week of clips
Paste the episode link once. Ask for the moments you want, check the suggested start and end, nudge them a second at a time so each clip opens on the hook, and render them in 9:16 with captions. The same link also gives you a timestamped summary for show notes and a searchable transcript, so one episode becomes clips, notes and quotes without switching tools.

Common questions
Can it clip an audio-only podcast?
Only if the episode is on YouTube as a video with captions. Audio-only files and uploads aren’t supported yet.
How many clips can I get from one episode?
As many as your plan’s clips allow: Starter includes 10 clips a month and Creator 20 clips. A 60-minute episode usually has 8–15 moments that stand alone.
Does it handle two speakers?
Yes. Use Split to stack both faces, Wide to keep the whole scene, or Speaker to follow whoever is talking.
Does it post for me?
No. Download the 9:16 MP4 and upload it yourself to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, WhatsApp Status, TikTok, Facebook or LinkedIn. Each clip comes with a title, caption and hashtags you can copy.
Does it work with every YouTube video?
It works with public YouTube videos that have captions, either manual or YouTube’s auto-generated ones, which most videos have. On Creator and Custom, videos with captions turned off are transcribed by AI.
