AI clip finder that reads the whole episode and can build one clip from several separate moments.
We make this one, so weigh the take accordingly. What it does differently from the rest of this category: clips are chosen by sentence out of the transcript rather than written back as timestamps, so every word in a finished clip provably came out of the speaker's mouth, in their wording.
And a clip can be assembled from several separate moments instead of one continuous stretch, which matters more than it sounds: of 29 excerpts cut by hand for reference, 21 had interior cuts. It also shows you what it turned down and why. What it will not do is cut the host, so a moment that needs the interviewer's question to make sense is out of reach.
Shorts by Slice takes a full episode and returns the moments worth posting, cut and captioned. The finder reads the entire transcript before deciding anything, then selects clips by sentence id, which is what keeps the words in a finished clip identical to the words that were said.
Clips are assemblies rather than spans, so it can drop a digression from the middle of an otherwise good answer. Uploads can run to three hours and 2GB.
Output is vertical video with captions burned in, up to 4K. Seven days free with no card, then $14.99 a month or $129.99 a year.
