Podcast Clip Maker
In short: drop your video podcast into AIClipMaker.org, choose the stretch you want to clip and a length (60 seconds suits most podcast answers), and AI face tracking crops each clip to 9:16 around the person speaking.

Why podcasts need face tracking
Most video podcasts are filmed wide: two people at a table in a 16:9 frame. A plain center crop to 9:16 often cuts both of them in half or shows the microphone between them. Face tracking finds a face in the clip and centers the vertical crop on it.
For a two-person shot, the tracker follows the largest face it finds in the clip. If the guest is the one talking in a clip, choose a section where the camera is on them, or use the separate camera angle if your recording has one.
How to do it with AIClipMaker.org
- Open AIClipMaker.org and drop your video file (MP4, MOV or WebM).
- Set the start and end of the part you want, for example 12:00 to 22:00.
- Choose a clip length: 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 seconds. You get up to 10 clips per run.
- Leave reframe on AI face tracking so each clip is cropped to 9:16 around the speaker.
- Download the 720×1280 MP4s and post them.
Picking the moments
AIClipMaker.org cuts the part you choose; it does not listen for the best moments. While you edit or review the episode, write down the timestamps where a guest tells a story or gives a strong answer, then clip those stretches. The full routine is in how to turn a podcast into clips.

FAQ
Can I clip an audio-only podcast?
No. AIClipMaker.org reframes video using face tracking, so it needs a video file.
How long should podcast clips be?
30 to 60 seconds for most answers and stories. Use 90 seconds for a story that needs the setup.
Does it pick the best moments automatically?
No. You choose the start and end of the part to clip; it cuts that part into clips of the length you pick.
