01
Highlight cuts from a prompt
Ask for the topic or timestamp range; the agent drafts a tight cut instead of scrubbing the whole file alone.
Podcast Video Editor for Highlights that Travel
Upload the episode, describe the moments that matter, and let the agent cut, caption, and reframe. You keep a timeline for the final taste pass before publishing to YouTube, Shorts, or LinkedIn.
Works for interviews, panels, and solo shows.

Podcast editing questions
Can I start from audio-only?
Yes. Add a voiceover or generate visuals, then caption the result on the timeline.
Do you support multi-cam?
You can upload multiple angles as media and ask the agent how to cut between them; fine control stays on the timeline.
