Where podcast audiences actually grow now

Great episodes deserve more than a lonely Spotify feed.

Spotify and Apple Podcasts don't have a real discovery surface. The growth happens on short-form feeds — TikTok, Reels, Shorts — where new listeners scroll before they ever open a podcast app. The problem: those platforms want vertical video with captions, and your show is an audio stream or a static webcam recording.

LumiClip is the podcast clip maker built for that gap. Upload or link an episode and the AI finds the hooks, quotable moments, and story beats worth publishing, then renders each one as a vertical clip with animated waveforms, word-level captions, and your brand template — ready to post.

Why podcasters switch

Three reasons LumiClip ships better podcast clips

Built for creators who need short-form distribution that actually moves listener numbers.

Virality-ready clip picks

The model scores every minute of the episode for hook strength — opinions, punchlines, story turns — so the clips it surfaces are already the ones most likely to perform on short-form feeds.

Engagement built into every clip

Animated captions, speaker-tracked reframing, and dynamic waveforms come standard. Every clip is tuned for sound-off scrolling, the dominant feed behaviour on Reels and TikTok.

AI editing that stays out of your way

No timelines, no keyframes, no freelance editor. Upload once and get platform-sized exports — the only decision you make is which clips to publish first.

How to use it

Four steps from episode to shareable clip

No editing skills, no prompt engineering, no brand-kit tutorials. If you can paste a link, you can ship clips.

1. Upload or link the episode
Paste a podcast URL (Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Riverside) or upload MP3/MP4/MOV directly. Audio-only and video podcasts use the same pipeline.
2. Let the AI find the moments
LumiClip transcribes the audio, scores every segment for clip potential, and surfaces a ranked list of candidate moments with virality scores and suggested captions.
3. Review and tweak
Swap captions, trim the in/out points, pick layout templates, drop in your cover art and lower thirds. Tweaks happen in a browser — no installs.
4. Export or schedule
Download platform-sized MP4s for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and Facebook — or connect your social accounts and publish straight from the dashboard on a schedule.

What's inside

Features purpose-built for podcast short-form

Every feature on this list fixes something specific about taking a long-form episode to a vertical feed.

Dynamic vertical layouts

Split-speaker layouts, waveform animations, cover-art overlays — the engine picks a layout that fits the episode type instead of applying one template to everything.

AI-driven clip selection

The model listens for hooks, story turns, and quotable lines, and ranks candidate clips by virality score so you always have the strongest options at the top of the list.

Speaker tracking and auto-reframe

9:16 reframing follows whoever is talking — guest, host, or both in split layout — so every clip stays centered without manual keyframing.

Branded templates with your kit

Upload your logo, colour palette, host photos, and lower thirds once, and LumiClip applies them automatically on every clip export so your feed looks coherent.

What changes for you

Broader reach, more listeners, zero editor bills

LumiClip turns every episode you've already published into a permanent listener-acquisition channel.

10x

Clips per episode

One 60-minute episode becomes 10+ vertical clips ready to publish. A single recording session fuels a full week of social distribution.

Minutes

From upload to clip

What used to be an evening of scrubbing, captioning, and rendering is now done in the time it takes to wrap up after recording.

New

Listeners from outside your circle

Vertical clips put your podcast in front of viewers who would never search for it on Spotify. Every share is a discovery moment.

More capabilities

Other LumiClip features designed for podcast creators

Everything else included in the same workflow — no extra tools, no second subscription.

Dynamic layouts

Split-screen for two-host shows, single-speaker for solo episodes, audiogram style for audio-only — the layout adapts to the episode format.

AI clip selection

Candidate clips are ranked by predicted short-form performance so you can publish the strongest moments first instead of the first ones you see.

Virality score on every clip

Each candidate clip ships with a 0–100 score predicting short-form performance, so you can benchmark what works for your show over time.

Keyword-aware moment detection

Tell LumiClip which topics, guest names, or themes you want emphasised and the model prioritises clips that match those terms.

Global-ready captions

Caption tracks auto-transcribe in 30+ languages with editable styles — publish the same clip localized for every major audience in one run.

Active speaker detection

The reframing engine follows whoever is speaking, switches on overlap, and preserves eye-level framing for talking-head shots.

Automated B-roll suggestions

For audio-heavy moments the engine can suggest relevant b-roll, stills, or cover-art motion so clips stay visually interesting even when nothing's happening on camera.

Trim, extend, and re-cut

Adjust the in/out of any suggested clip with a draggable timeline — no round-tripping to a separate editor.
