Turn a Zoom recording into vertical Shorts

Export the Zoom MP4, upload it, and ClipEmber turns the talking sections into captioned 9:16 Shorts. Editing is transcript-based rather than timeline-based: click a word to cut it out of the video. Speaker view crops best; gallery view leans on the captions.

Export the recording, drop it in, and ClipEmber turns the talking parts into captioned 9:16 clips — the meeting highlights, minus the editing.

We picked a real Zoom recording of a maths lecture rather than something staged, and the result is the useful part: the top clip scored 71, against 88 on our webinar run and 89 on our podcast run — same model, same settings. A lecture explaining conditional probability has fewer hook-shaped moments than a podcast, and the scorer says so instead of inflating. That is the honest answer to "will this work on my Zoom recording": it surfaces the most hook-like moments in your window, and it will not invent a hook that isn't there.

FAQ

Gallery view or speaker view?

Speaker view crops best; for gallery view the captions carry the moment and the crop centers the loudest frame region.

Can I cut filler words?

Yes — the editor is transcript-based: click a word to cut it from the video.

How long can it be?

Up to 2 hours per request; one credit covers up to 20 minutes of processing.
