How to turn a podcast into Shorts with subtitles

Upload your podcast episode (video file or link) to Vyexa: AI finds the strongest moments, cuts them into vertical 9:16 clips and burns in subtitles and a title automatically.

Free plan: 20 clips a month, no card needed (clips carry a Vyexa watermark). You download ready Shorts for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels.

Steps: podcast to Shorts with captions

  1. Sign in with Google. Press the button below and continue with Google — no card and no long form.
  2. Upload the episode or paste a link. Drop the video file or paste a YouTube link to a finished (non-live, public) episode.
  3. Pick a layout and subtitle style. Choose a podcast-style layout for two speakers or a single host, then a subtitle style with live preview.
  4. Let AI find the moments. Vyexa transcribes the speech, selects the clip-worthy moments and tracks the speaker's face so they stay in the 9:16 frame.
  5. Download the clips. Each clip comes with burned-in subtitles and a title. Download and post it yourself.

What you get from one episode

  • Several vertical 9:16 clips from one long recording, not just one cut.
  • Automatic word-level subtitles burned into the video, with selectable styles.
  • Face tracking and podcast layouts so speakers stay in frame.
  • A hook title for every clip.
  • Upload a file or paste a link; longer sources are supported on paid plans.

What Vyexa does not do

  • It does not post to TikTok, YouTube or Instagram for you — you download the clips and publish them yourself.
  • It does not import private videos, live streams or YouTube premieres — only finished recordings. If a link fails, upload the file instead.
  • Files above 3 GB are not accepted.
  • On the Free plan the source video must be 90 minutes or shorter and clips carry a watermark.
  • AI picks moments automatically; it will not match a human editor's taste every time, so check the result before publishing.
