A clip has to be a whole thing, not an excerpt.
- 01The episode is watched for moments that resolve on their own — a question asked and answered inside 30 to 90 seconds.
- 02The reframe tracks the active speaker instead of centre-cropping the wide, which gives a single-camera shoot a multicam rhythm.
- 03Captions sit in the band between roughly 35% and 70% of frame height, at 80–90% of frame width, clear of the UI at both ends.
- 04The opening line is chosen for its own sake, even when it happened four minutes into the answer.
Most podcast clipping is slicing at a fixed interval and adding a caption, which produces clips that start mid-thought and ask a stranger to catch up. Nobody scrolling has context and nobody builds any, so each clip gets treated as a small self-contained video with its own hook and its own payoff. That is why thirty good clips out of a sixty-minute episode is an honest number and three hundred is not.
