Long video in. Post-ready clips out.
For podcasters, streamers, educators, and students drowning in hours of footage. Recap finds the moments worth keeping—then lets you reclip for every platform without rewatching or re-uploading.
What is a recap
Your long video, cut into clips.
A recap is one uploaded recording—like a long podcast episode—turned into a set of short, downloadable clips. Upload once, choose speech or visuals as the clipping basis, and Recap finds the moments ready to post or share.

Two ways to clip
Speech or visuals—you choose.
Every recap is either From speech or From video—not both. Pick the path that matches what “worth keeping” means for that recording.
From speech
Clips from dialogue
Recap reads the transcript and pulls moments from what was said—hot takes, stories, Q&A, key definitions. Add an optional focus prompt, or leave it blank to auto-pick clip-worthy dialogue.
- Best for podcasts, interviews, lectures, and voice-heavy streams
- Works from speech topics—not what’s on screen
From video
Clips from on-screen cues
Recap watches the frames for the visual cues you describe—slides changing, demos, reactions, product close-ups. A cue prompt is required so it knows what to look for.
- Best for tutorials, demos, sports, and screen recordings
- Ignores dialogue focus—cuts are driven by what appears on screen
Recap versions
One video. Endless directions.1
A version is a new cut of the same upload—different length, focus, speech vs visual, or purpose. You never re-upload. Recap reuses the video (and transcript when needed), so each version is just another pass.

How it works
Three steps from raw footage to clips
Skip the scrubbing. Upload once, pick a direction, and walk away with clips ready to post.
Upload your video
Drop a long MP4, MOV, WebM, or Matroska file into your dashboard.
Pick speech or visuals
From speech uses the transcript; From video watches for the on-screen cues you describe. Recap trims the strongest matches.
