What is it?

An AI tool that automatically picks and exports the best clips from your podcast.

LumiClip is an AI podcast clip generator. You give it a podcast episode — audio (MP3) or video (MP4) — and it returns a ranked list of vertical short clips ready to post. Each clip ships with a virality score, word-level captions, your cover art, brand colors, and active-speaker tracking already applied.

It exists because the hard part of podcast clipping isn't cutting — it's choosing. Most episodes have ten strong moments, and creators only ever clip one or two by hand. LumiClip's model scores every second of the episode, so the first clip you see is the strongest one in the episode and the tenth is still worth shipping.

Why use it?

Three reasons podcasters pick LumiClip's AI

Built for podcasters who need short-form clips that actually perform — and who don't want to pay $29/mo for Opus Clip to get them.

AI does the editor's work

Hook scoring, speaker tracking, caption styling, and brand templates run on every upload — in parallel, in one pass — so you skip the timeline and the freelance invoice entirely.

Clips tuned for real engagement

The virality score isn't marketing fluff. It's trained on short-form performance patterns so the moments ranked on top are statistically more likely to earn completions, saves, and shares.

Half the price of Opus Clip

Starter plan at $9.99/mo (vs Opus Clip's $29/mo) covers AI clip detection, auto-captions, and vertical reframing — the core podcast clipping workflow — for less than half the cost.

How does it work?

Four steps from podcast episode to published clip

Paste, score, review, publish — no timeline, no freelancer.

1. Import your podcast
Paste a URL from YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Riverside, or drop an MP3/MP4 file. Multi-hour episodes process without pre-cutting.
2. AI scores and clips
The model transcribes, scores every moment for hook strength, reframes the strongest ones to 9:16 with active-speaker tracking, and generates word-level captions — all on one upload.
3. Review and customize
Each clip arrives with a virality score, a caption track, and a suggested thumbnail. Tweak any of it in-browser, or pin specific timestamps you want clipped.
4. Publish to TikTok, Reels, Shorts
Download platform-sized MP4s or connect your social accounts and schedule every clip to go out across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook from the dashboard.

AI Video Clipping Features

AI features for turning long videos into short clips

Auto-clip, caption, and publish vertical shorts for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

What does it do?

Features included with the AI podcast clip generator

Each feature replaces a step that used to take an hour in a video editor.

Virality-scored clip curation

The model ranks every candidate moment on hook strength, quotability, pacing, and short-form performance signals — then surfaces the top candidates first so your decision is "which five to publish," not "which one is salvageable."

Active-speaker tracking and auto-reframe

9:16 reframing follows whoever is talking. For multi-host or guest shows, the layout switches automatically between single-speaker and split-screen based on who's speaking when.

Co-pilot for manual direction

Want a clip from minute 42? Type a quoted phrase, a topic, a guest name, or a timestamp and the AI returns candidate clips that match — then cleans them up with the same pipeline.

Automatic B-roll and waveforms for audio-only moments

When a clip is audio-only or the on-camera framing is weak, the model fills the frame with suggested b-roll, motion graphics, animated waveform, or branded cover art so the clip stays watchable on a silent feed.

What you get

More published clips, fewer hours in post

Podcasters who adopted LumiClip cut their post-production time in half and shipped 3x more clips per episode.

10x

Clips per episode

One 60-minute recording becomes 10+ vertical clips. One studio session now feeds a full week of multi-platform posting.

Minutes

Not hours in post

The 3–5 hour post-production tail that killed most podcast clip strategies collapses to a 5-minute review and a publish click.

Higher

Completion and share rates

Clips selected by hook scoring retain viewers longer than clips picked by gut feel. Higher completion drives more algorithmic reach.

Who is it for?

Built for podcasters who grow on visual feeds

LumiClip's AI podcast clip generator works for any podcast format that needs short-form clips for discovery on TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Independent podcasters

Solo creators and small teams who don't have an editor on call but need to post clips consistently to grow listenership.

Interview podcast hosts

Two-camera or audio interviews where the best soundbites come from guests — clipped, captioned, and branded automatically.

Video podcast producers

Riverside, Squadcast, and Zoom-recorded video podcasts repurposed into vertical clips with face-tracked framing.

Audio-only podcasters

MP3-only podcasts that need a visual format to post on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts — animated waveform and cover art included.

Podcast networks and agencies

Teams managing multiple podcast brands who need consistent, branded short-form clips at scale without hiring per-show editors.

Branded and B2B podcasters

Company podcasts using clips for LinkedIn, demand-gen, and sales enablement — on-brand by default.

All features

Everything LumiClip ships for podcast creators

The complete feature set, one workflow, one subscription.

AI clip curation

Every moment scored and ranked so the first clip you see is the strongest — not the first one the model got to.

AI virality score

Numerical 0–100 predictor of short-form performance, so you can benchmark what works on your show and double down over time.

AI co-pilot

Direct the model manually: describe the moment you want, paste a quote, or specify a guest — and get candidate clips back instantly.

Automatic B-roll

Suggested b-roll and motion graphics fill the frame for audio-only or visually weak moments so nothing ships blank.

Dynamic layouts

Single speaker, split screen, audiogram, picture-in-picture — the layout adapts to the episode format instead of locking to one template.

Active-speaker detection

Reframing follows whoever is speaking in real time, with automatic fallback to split layout during overlap.

Trim and extend

Adjust in/out points of any AI-picked clip with a draggable timeline — no export round-trip to a separate editor.

Multi-language captions

Auto-detect the source language and transcribe word-by-word in 30+ languages, with editable styles per clip.

Frequently asked questions

An AI podcast clip generator is a tool that takes a full podcast episode (audio or video) and automatically picks the strongest moments, reframes them to 9:16 vertical, captions them, and exports them ready to publish on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. LumiClip's generator uses a virality scoring model so the first clip you see is the strongest one in the episode.

Yes. LumiClip uses a freemium model. The free plan processes up to 60 minutes of podcast audio or video per month — enough to clip one full episode end-to-end — with AI clipping, captions, and exports included. No credit card required. Paid plans raise the cap and unlock HD watermark-free exports, full brand kit, and scheduled publishing.

You upload a podcast episode (or paste a Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Riverside, or YouTube URL) and the AI transcribes and scores every moment for hook strength, quotability, pacing, and short-form performance signals. It then renders the top-ranked moments as vertical video clips with word-level captions, an animated waveform (for audio-only episodes), your cover art, and brand colors.

Yes. Audio-only MP3 episodes are turned into visual clips with animated waveforms, dynamic captions, your podcast cover art, and on-brand templates — no video recording required.

LumiClip accepts URLs from Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Riverside, Descript, YouTube (for video podcasts), and any platform that exports MP3 or MP4. Direct file uploads up to 1 GB are supported on the free plan. Multi-track Zoom and Riverside exports are supported for multi-host shows.

The model evaluates every candidate clip against signals correlated with short-form performance — hook strength in the first 2 seconds, quotable phrasing, topic relevance, pacing, and speaker dynamics. Each clip ships with a 0–100 score so you know which ones to publish first.

Yes. Captions are tuned for conversational speech, including overlapping speakers, brand names, industry terms, and proper nouns — with word-level timing and an inline editor for any tweaks before publishing.

Yes. Every AI-generated clip is editable in-browser. You can trim the in/out, swap the caption style, change the layout, add or remove b-roll, adjust the thumbnail, and rewrite the caption text. The AI gives you a strong starting point, not a locked output.

LumiClip is built for podcasters who want listeners from outside Spotify and Apple — independent and interview podcasters, video podcast producers, audio-only shows that need a visual format, podcast networks managing multiple brands, and B2B and branded podcasts using clips for LinkedIn and demand-gen.

Paid plans start at $9.99/month for Starter (more credits, HD exports, no watermark, full brand kit) — about half the price of Opus Clip's $29/month — and $23/month for Pro (highest credit pool, multiple brand kits, scheduled publishing).
