Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

An AI podcast clip maker is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to detect the best moments in a podcast recording and turn them into short, shareable videos. Instead of manually scrubbing through hours of content, you get ready-to-post highlights in seconds. 

For example, you can take a look at our podcast clip maker, Magic Clips.

Generally, podcast clips should be between 15 and 60 seconds long. Some platforms allow for longer videos, but if you create longer clips, make sure they remain engaging.

The easiest way to cut a podcast into clips is to use a clipping tool like Riverside. You’ll likely need to:

  • Upload your podcast recording. (With Riverside, you can record and clip on the same platform, so no need for uploads.)
  • Set up preferences for style, length, and other customizations. 
  • Let the AI find your show’s key moments and generate clips for you. 

Alternatively, you can make podcast clips manually. Just:

  • Open your podcast recording in an editor. (You can do this on Riverside, too.)
  • Listen through and find those key moments. (If you’re using Riverside, you can mark moments while you record).
  • Cut your key moments into clips. You can do this using a traditional video timeline. Or, with Riverside, you can use text-based editing, where you can edit your transcript to change your video.
  • Polish your clips with captions, overlays, b-roll, and other customizations.

Riverside’s Magic clips creates clips up to 3 minutes long. But if you want to create something longer, you can try our Magic Segments tool. This generates longer cuts of your podcast, ideal for YouTube, LinkedIn, or full highlights reels. It’s perfect when you want both bite-sized and extended formats.

If you want to clip your own podcast, it’s legal because you can edit it as you like. 

But, if you want to clip someone else’s content, you’ll need to follow copyright legalities and may require permission before using it. This depends on how you plan to use the clip and the specific laws in your country. 

From recording to podcast clips, your whole workflow in one platform.

Capture in 4K, let AI find your highlights, and share instantly.
