About SnipCast
SnipCast turns long recordings into short clips. You upload a video and the AI finds the highlights, then exports vertical clips that are ready to post, complete with subtitles and smart framing, so you do not need to edit by hand. It is aimed at podcasters and creators who repurpose long episodes for short-form platforms.
The tools listed include a video clipper with AI moment detection and an add-captions tool with custom subtitle styles. Clips are formatted automatically for 9:16 vertical platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, and the site describes one-click social media sharing. The flow is upload, let the AI detect the strongest moments, add captions and adapt the framing, then publish. The site has examples, pricing, features and testimonials sections.
