Podcast episodes
The format this was built for
A ninety-minute episode holds six or seven moments that work alone. The dedicated podcast page goes deeper on speaker framing.
YouTube clip maker that picks the moment for you
Upload a long video and Fliki reads the transcript, finds the segments that stand on their own, reframes them vertical and captions them at word level. One upload becomes a week of shorts instead of one more thing on the to-do list.

Why creators pick Fliki for clipping
Finding the moment is the work. Cutting it is not.
Scrubbing a forty-minute recording for the eight seconds worth posting is why most channels never get around to shorts. That is the part worth automating.
It reads the transcript first
The video is transcribed and the segments are chosen on what is actually said, not on where the volume peaks or a fixed interval lands.
Several clips per upload
One long video produces a batch, not a single short. That is what turns an existing back catalogue into a posting schedule.
Word-level captions
Captions land on the syllable being spoken. Retention on vertical video depends on this more than on anything else in the edit.
Reframed, not cropped
A 16:9 recording becomes a 9:16 short with the speaker kept in frame rather than the sides chopped off around them.
Dead air removed
Long pauses, filler and the part where you lost your thread come out, so a ninety-second clip is ninety seconds of content.
A hook on the front
The opening line is written to stop the scroll. A clip that starts mid-sentence gets scrolled past however good the middle is.
Every platform at once
Export 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels, 1:1 for the feed, and 16:9 if you want a compilation cut.
Other languages too
Re-voice a clip into any of 80+ languages and run the same content on a channel where the niche is less crowded.
Your back catalogue is the input
Every long video you have already published is unclipped inventory. The cost of working through it is the upload.
How it works
How to make YouTube clips in 4 steps
From one long upload to a batch of captioned vertical shorts.
Step 1
Upload the long video
A podcast episode, a stream VOD, a talk, a tutorial. Anything with speech in it, because the transcript is what the selection runs on.
Step 2
Fliki finds the moments
The transcript is read and the segments that stand alone are picked: a complete thought, a strong line, a question and its answer.
Step 3
Reframe and caption
Each clip is reframed vertical with the speaker held in frame, captioned at word level, and given an opening line that works cold.
Step 4
Export the batch
Take all the clips at once in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, and schedule them out rather than posting one and forgetting.
Use cases for a YouTube clip maker
One upload. A month of shorts.
Anything long with speech in it is unclipped inventory.
Stream VODs
Four hours live, twelve clips after
The highlight nobody has time to find by scrubbing. The transcript finds it instead.
Talks and webinars
A recorded session, distributed properly
Most webinar recordings are watched once. Clipping them is the difference between an asset and an archive.
Tutorials
One answer per clip
A long how-to contains a dozen answers to a dozen searched questions. Each is a short that stands on its own.
