A podcast clip maker pulls short moments out of a long conversation. Vyra searches the transcript for the exchange you describe, or suggests candidates with reasons, then builds the clip with captions and the right camera angle.
How it works
- Upload the episode. If you have several angles, upload each one. Vyra syncs them by matching the transcripts.
- Ask for candidates ("list the five strongest 45-second moments with timestamps and why") or point at a topic ("the part where she explains pricing").
- Pick one. The agent cuts it, reframes to vertical, and switches angles on who's talking.
- Add phrase captions and a title that says the claim.
- Export with the Instagram/TikTok preset.
What you can control
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Selection | By topic, by quote, by speaker, or ranked candidates from the agent |
| Length | Any target, usually 30 to 60 seconds |
| Angles | Single camera, or multicam switching on the speaker |
| Captions | Phrase or word-by-word, speaker-colored if you ask |
| Framing | Speaker centered, split for two people, PiP for screen shares |
| Opening | Start on the strongest line, not the setup |
Prompts to paste
Find every moment where we talk about pricing. List them with timestamps and a one-line summary, then cut the strongest one into a 45-second vertical clip that opens on the boldest sentence.
Sync the two camera angles by transcript. In the clip from 41:10 to 41:55, switch to whoever is speaking, and use the wide shot when we both laugh.
Add 3-word captions, white, lower third, and put a title at the top for the first 3 seconds that says "Stop underpricing".
When to use something else
- You want dozens of auto-generated clips with a virality score and a scheduler. Opus Clip and Vizard are built for that. Vyra is built for choosing and finishing clips in one place.
- You need to post straight from the tool. Vyra exports files.
- Audio-only recording. Vyra can cut it, but you'll need a visual layer like a waveform or photos.
FAQ
How does it find the good parts? It reads the whole transcript and the scene descriptions, so it can search a topic or a quote and rank moments by how self-contained they are.
Does multicam sync need timecode? No. It matches the transcripts.
Can I get several clips from one episode? Yes. Ask for a list, then cut them one at a time or all at once.
