Clips people can follow without the episode.

  • Moments that stand alone

    Each clip makes one point and still makes sense to someone who never heard the episode.

  • Cut to 9:16

    Trimmed to a vertical frame with the speaker centered, ready for Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

  • You make the call

    Every suggestion shows its timestamp and why it was picked. Keep it, trim it or drop it.

How it works

Upload, review, keep.

  1. 1

    Upload the recording

    Drop in a video or audio file, or paste a link. Cutdown writes the transcript first.

  2. 2

    Review the candidates

    Moments with a clear point, a strong first line and a complete thought get marked, each with the reason it was picked.

  3. 3

    Keep the ones you like

    Nudge the start or end if you want. Kept clips export as 9:16 video with captions.

Example
