“One episode gives me a week of posts. I paste the link, come back later, and the clips are sitting there ready to go.”

One link

that's the whole input

Minutes

from paste to finished clips

No editing

nothing to learn, nothing to install

This is what comes out the other end.

Vertical, HD, no watermark and nothing burned in — ready to caption and post the moment you download them.

Podcast cut
Interview cut
Commentary cut

The content already exists. Cutting it up was the hard part.

Every podcast episode, stream and interview has five or six moments in it that would do numbers on their own. Finding them meant scrubbing through hours of footage, then cutting, reframing and exporting each one by hand.

That's the bit that changed. One link now does what an editor used to charge a day's rate for — and short video hands out attention on one signal only: did people keep watching.

Not your follower count. Not your production budget. Which is why a clip pulled out of an episode nobody watched can out-perform the episode itself.

There are only three things between a long video and a week of posts.

  1. 1 / First

    you paste a long video

    A podcast, an interview, a stream replay — anything public on YouTube up to 60 minutes.

  2. 2 / Then

    Vixal finds the moments

    It reads the speech, picks the strongest sections, and renders each one as its own clip in HD.

  3. 3 / Last

    you post them

    No watermark, no burned-in captions. Drop them straight onto Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

Here is the whole process, in five steps.

Read this once and you'll know as much as anyone selling a course on it. Nothing held back, nothing saved for later.

  1. 1

    Pick a video worth cutting up

    The source decides the clips.

    Long videos with real talking give the best results — podcasts, interviews, commentary, stream replays. Music videos and silent gameplay give it almost nothing to work with.

    It doesn't have to be yours. It does have to be public: private, age-restricted and members-only videos can't be pulled in.

    Start here: Open YouTube, copy the link to a talking video under 60 minutes.

    1 min

  2. 2

    Paste the link into Vixal

    One box. That's the whole interface.

    The clipping screen is a single paste box with your finished clips underneath it. Drop the link in and it pulls up the video so you can check you grabbed the right one.

    Start here: Open the clipping tool, paste your link into the box.

    10 sec

  3. 3

    Pick vertical or wide

    Where you're posting decides the shape.

    Vertical 9:16 crops in on the action, ready for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Wide 16:9 keeps the original framing for long-form channels and repurposing.

    Vertical is what you want for almost all short-form. Wide is for when you're feeding a YouTube channel or a newsletter.

    Start here: Tap the small shape pill under the paste box before you generate.

    2 sec

  4. 4

    Generate and walk away

    This is the part that used to take an editor a day.

    Vixal pulls the source in HD, finds the strongest moments, and renders up to five clips. Progress shows on screen and the job keeps running if you close the tab.

    If a job fails for any reason, the credits go straight back to your account.

    Start here: Hit generate, then come back in a few minutes.

    3–8 min

  5. 5

    Caption, then post daily

    The boring step that decides everything.

    Clips come back clean, so run them through Captions in the WorkShop and add your own hook text. That's what makes the upload yours rather than a repost.

    Then post them out across the week. One 40-minute podcast is five clips — that's most of a week's posting from a single link.

    Start here: WorkShop → Captions → apply → download → schedule them across the week.

    10 min

This is what you walk away with.

Five vertical clips per long video, captioned and cropped for you, ready to post to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram the moment they finish.

what a 20-minute podcast costs you here

An editor charges $50–$150 to cut a podcast into shorts. A 20-minute video here is 60 credits — a few dollars of a $19 plan, and it's done before you make coffee.

Three things that make the clips better.

Small choices, big difference in what comes back.

Pick a video with real talking

Vixal looks for the strongest spoken moments. Interviews, podcasts and commentary give it far more to work with than music or gameplay.

Fewer, better clips

Three clips from a strong video beats five from a thin one. You can always run the same video again for a different cut.

Add your own captions

Clips come back with nothing burned in on purpose. Your hook text and your caption style are what make the upload yours.

Two years ago this was a hired editor. Today it's one link.

The platforms pay the same as they always did. The only thing that changed is what it costs you to get the clips out.

This works brilliantly for some people and badly for others.

Better to know now than three jobs in.

Start today if…

  • You already have long videos sitting there doing nothing
  • You want to post daily without filming daily
  • You'd rather not learn an editing suite
  • You're repurposing podcasts, streams or interviews
  • You want clean clips you can caption your own way

Don't bother if…

  • Your source videos are music or silent gameplay
  • You want frame-perfect manual edits
  • You plan to re-upload other people's videos unchanged
  • You want it to post for you with zero input
  • You're looking for a guarantee of views

What it costs to actually do this.

No hidden extras. One plan covers the clipping, the captions, the voiceovers and the AI video — you spend credits on what you actually make.

What that buys you

Clipping costs 3 credits per minute of source video, so a 20-minute podcast is 60 credits and comes back as up to five clips. On Creator that's 550 credits a month to spend however you like — clipping, captions and AI video all come out of the same pot.

  • No watermark and no burned-in captions, ever

  • Nothing to install — it all runs in your browser

The questions everyone asks before they start.

Short answers, no waffle.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It all runs inside Vixal in your browser — nothing to download and nothing to set up.

What does it cost, in plain English?

3 credits per minute of source video. A 10-minute video is 30 credits, a 20-minute podcast is 60. If a job fails the credits come straight back.

How many clips do I get?

Up to 5 clips per job, from videos up to 60 minutes long. Run the same video again if you want a different cut.

Are the clips watermarked?

No watermarks and no burned-in captions — you get clean HD footage you can caption however your channel needs.

Which videos work best?

Public YouTube videos with clear speech: podcasts, interviews, streams, commentary. Private, age-restricted and members-only videos can't be pulled in.

Can I clip videos that aren't mine?

You're responsible for what you post. Clipping something and adding your own captions and commentary is normal practice; re-uploading someone else's video unchanged is not, and it will get you removed.

How long does one job take?

Usually a few minutes, depending on how long the source is. You can close the tab — the job keeps running and the clips are waiting when you come back.

What if it isn't for me?

Cancel from your account in two clicks. No contract, no phone call.

Your first five clips are one link away.
