Stitching is the killer feature
Question at 12:04, answer at 38:21. Most clipping tools force you to choose one or the other. Very Big Clips stitches them into one short so the social clip lands the way the conversation actually did.
Turn every podcast episode into a week of YouTube Shorts. Highlight the moment your guest dropped the line, stitch it with the setup from minute 12, publish in under a minute. No video editor in the loop.
The problem
Every episode you record contains five to ten quotable moments that would make great Shorts. They almost never get cut. Either you don't have time, or your editor charges $80 for a clip that needs to ship within 24 hours of the episode dropping to actually matter.
Very Big Clips compresses that work into a 30-minute task you do yourself. You read the transcript like a doc, drag across the lines that mattered, and a batch of branded Shorts comes out the other side. The first time you use it, the math changes from "Shorts are too expensive to make consistently" to "Shorts are something I do on episode-publish day."
How it works
Connect Google Drive™ or upload an MP4. Recordings from Riverside, Zoom, Squadcast, Descript, and in-person cameras all work — Very Big Clips streams the file from Drive, so a 10 GB raw recording never has to land on your laptop.
An AI transcript appears in minutes. Drag across the passages worth pulling out — the way you'd highlight a paragraph in an article. Each highlight becomes a clip candidate. Optional: let the AI surface five to ten suggestions and accept, refine, or ignore each one.
The strongest podcast clips usually pair a setup question with the answer that landed — but those rarely sit back-to-back in the conversation. Highlight multiple passages, click stitch, and they render as one continuous Short. This is the feature most editor-replacement tools don't have.
Pick a caption style once. Every clip in the project inherits it, so the show stays visually consistent across every Short. Publish directly to YouTube on Creator and Pro plans, or download as a 9:16 MP4 for TikTok, Reels, and LinkedIn.
Why podcasters in particular
Question at 12:04, answer at 38:21. Most clipping tools force you to choose one or the other. Very Big Clips stitches them into one short so the social clip lands the way the conversation actually did.
You don't remember timestamps, you remember what was said. Reading the transcript and clicking the line is a different shape of work than scrubbing a timeline — and it's the shape that maps to how you recall the conversation.
Caption templates are saved at the workspace level. Update the template once and every future clip inherits the new style. Your show looks like one show — even after 50 episodes and 400 Shorts.
FAQ
Audio-only podcasts can be transcribed and clipped, but the rendered Short will need a visual layer — waveform, static image, or repurposed video — to be useful on YouTube Shorts and TikTok. Most podcasters who use Very Big Clips already record video (Riverside, Zoom, Squadcast, or in-person camera) and benefit most from the workflow.
A typical 60-minute interview yields five to ten usable shorts. The exact number depends on how many self-contained ideas the conversation contains. The AI surfaces candidates; you accept, refine, or reject each one rather than rendering everything blindly.
Yes. Highlight multiple passages and stitch them into a single short. This is the feature podcasters reach for most often — when the strongest version of a clip pairs a question from minute 12 with an answer from minute 38.
Very Big Clips imports from Google Drive™ — most podcast recording tools (Riverside, Zoom, Squadcast, Descript) export to Drive. You publish your finished episode in those tools as usual; Very Big Clips handles the social cutdowns from the same source recording.
Yes. Caption templates are saved per workspace — pick a font, color, emphasis style, and position once, and every short you produce inherits the template. New clips look like they came from the same brand without anyone restyling each one.
