HookWise
For podcasters

A 2-hour podcast episode becomes vertical clips with host and guest both on screen

HookWise transcribes your episode, proposes the moments worth cutting, and stacks both faces top and bottom in a 9:16 frame. It all runs on your own computer.

Why podcast clips keep slipping

Finding the moment takes forever

For one 40-second quote you replay a two-hour recording and jot timestamps in your notes app.

Two people, a narrow screen

The wide camera catches host and guest. Crop it to 9:16 and one of them gets cut off or shrinks to a tiny face.

Pauses and "um" come along

Relaxed conversation is full of gaps and filler words. In a 30-second clip every gap feels long to someone scrolling.

From one episode to a stack of clips

  1. 1

    Import the episode

    Drop in the mp4 or mov, or paste the YouTube link if the episode is already live. Whisper writes the transcript with per-word timestamps, offline.

  2. 2

    Let Gemini propose moments

    Set the number of reels, target length and the Storytelling or Bold opinion style. Each proposal comes with a title, hook, reason and a 0 to 100 score, so you only have to choose.

  3. 3

    Tighten the conversation

    Remove silences and filler words from the transcript in one pass. If you record with several cameras, multicam syncs them by audio and can switch to whoever is talking.

  4. 4

    Export and schedule

    Use the TikTok, Reels or Shorts preset, export every clip at once, then spread them across the calendar. HookWise reminds you when it is time to post.
