Frequently asked questions
Unspool is a podcast clipping tool that combines AI-powered moment discovery with a precision transcript editor. Subscribe to your shows, and an agent automatically suggests the best clips when new episodes drop. You review, refine, and export — all in one workflow.
Podcast clipping is the process of extracting short, shareable segments from a full podcast episode. These clips are typically reformatted as vertical video with captions for social media platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. It's the most time-consuming part of podcast promotion — and the part Unspool automates.
When a new episode publishes, Unspool's agent analyzes the full transcript to identify the most compelling, shareable moments. It suggests clips with context — not random cuts. You review each suggestion, adjust the boundaries using the transcript editor, and approve or discard. Smart automation with human control.
Unspool accepts audio input (MP3, WAV, M4A) and produces social-ready MP4 video clips with styled captions. Clips are optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. Audio-only podcasters get video output without needing a camera.
Yes. Unspool connects to any publicly available podcast via RSS. Search for your show, subscribe, and new episodes are automatically transcribed and analyzed for clip-worthy moments.
Unspool is currently in private beta. Join the waitlist to get early access. Pricing will be flat-rate and predictable — no credit-based billing or surprise charges.
Most clipping tools either automate discovery but give you no real way to refine the results, or offer a great editor but leave you to find the moments yourself. Unspool combines both — AI finds the clips, then you get a precision transcript editor to make them yours. And unlike most tools in the space, Unspool natively processes audio files and produces video output.
Opus Clip is designed for video podcasts — it requires video input and uses AI to select visual moments. Unspool is built for audio-first podcasters. It accepts audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A), generates styled video with word-level captions, and gives you a precision transcript editor to refine clip boundaries. If your podcast is audio-only, Unspool is purpose-built for your workflow.
Yes. Unspool uses an async transcription pipeline designed for episodes of any length, including 2+ hour conversations. The agent processes in the background and notifies you when clips are ready.
