Turn your podcast archive into clips you actually post

Quick answer: PodControl is a podcast and webinar clipping tool for marketing teams. Connect the library once (RSS feed, Google Drive or YouTube channel), and the engine indexes every hour of it, finds the moments that stand on their own, captions them in your voice and posts them to LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky, Nostr and X on your schedule. Starter is $7 at launch for 35 clips a month and a 20 hour archive; Amplify is $297 for 150 clips and 150 hours. You pay per finished clip, your whole team is included, and nothing publishes without approval.

PodControl is a podcast clipping tool that turns an existing archive of recorded conversations into finished, captioned social posts on a schedule, instead of clipping one upload at a time.

Every marketing team already owns the hard part. The webinars, the customer interviews, the conference talks, the founder videos, the company podcast: hours of footage in which your best argument for your own product has already been made, out loud, by someone your buyer trusts. And almost none of it has been posted since the month it was recorded, because clipping it has always meant another upload, another tool bill and another afternoon.

What every marketer-facing tool does today

The marketer pages in this category all start from the same place: the upload. ClipFlame’s marketer page puts it plainly, one upload of a webinar, podcast, customer interview, conference talk or founder video gives you captioned clips for the social networks (clipflame.com, checked 2026-10-29). Choppity’s marketing agency page counts the same way, 20 to 50+ clips per video, export and publish at scale (choppity.com, checked 2026-10-29).

That flow works. It also has a ceiling, and the ceiling is arithmetic. Ten webinars a year, each clipped once, is ten good weeks of posting. The eleven years of customer interviews in the drive behind them never get touched, because nothing in the workflow reaches back.

The pricing shape compounds it. ClipFlame meters hours of video per month, $19 for 4 hours and $39 for 20 hours on paid plans (same page, checked 2026-10-29). A team clipping from a large back catalogue is buying footage allowance every month to re-reach footage it already owns.

What changes when the library is connected once

PodControl runs the other direction. You connect the source once, by RSS feed, Google Drive or YouTube channel, and every episode in it becomes available in one place: indexed, searchable, and available to the engine. Starter carries a 20 hour archive, the Engine 50 hours, Amplify 150 hours (home, checked 2026-10-29). The clip allowance is the monthly number that matters, 35, 60 or 150 finished clips, and it is spent on the best moments in the whole library rather than on this week’s upload.

Every clip arrives with a hook score, so the team can see why the engine picked it, and the caption is written in your voice, with your product names and your jargon learned rather than pasted from a transcript. Then the review switch: hold every clip for approval, or let approved clips post on their own schedule. Rejecting a clip refunds its credit, and clips nobody reviews expire and refund too, so a wrong pick costs you nothing.

The team question, answered on the page

Most content tools charge per seat, which is how a marketing team ends up sharing one login. PodControl’s plan copy reads “Your whole team included, never charged per login” (home, checked 2026-10-29), and the same stack section lists what is deliberately not charged for: no per-minute tokens, no credit anxiety, no expiry, no per-seat charges, no hidden fees.

Every plan also includes the Visibility Scorecard, a free report where an impartial third-party AI agent reads and scores your online presence, delivered within 48 hours of signup once you send your main website URL (home, checked 2026-10-29). Read it as what it is, an outside read on your presence, and as the cheapest possible first look at how an answer engine sees you.

What you post, and where

Publishing today: LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky, Nostr and X on its free allowance. That is the live list and the only list, so if a network is not named here, it is not claimed (home, checked 2026-10-29). TikTok is in review with TikTok. Pinterest needs a still image on every post. The engine can run at about 30 clip posts a day per channel when the archive supports it, and the Amplify plan carries 8 channels.

The math a marketing budget can actually check

The home page does this arithmetic in the open. An agency clipping an archive is priced at $2,000 to $5,000 a month, which it totals at $24,000 to $60,000 a year; a social media manager posting daily is the same; a content tool subscription at about thirty dollars a month is about three hundred fifty a year; “the alternatives, for one year: $48,000 and up” (home, checked 2026-10-29). Choppity’s own agency page prices editors at $100 to $300 per video and repurposing at 4 to 8+ hours per asset (choppity.com, checked 2026-10-29).

PodControl is one payment: $7 at launch for Starter, $9 for the Engine, $297 for Amplify, charged by the finished clip. One payment, climbing in stages, then the deal ends. Put your own last content invoice next to that table and the comparison is yours to make, not ours.

When PodControl is not the right fit

• You need paid amplification or marketing automation. PodControl publishes organic social

posts. It does not buy media, retarget, or write into your CRM, and no page here will suggest otherwise.

• You need TikTok live on day one. Publishing is in review with TikTok, so it is not on the

list.

• You want a per-client white-label portal. None is claimed, and the agencies page says the same

thing.

• You have under 20 hours of recorded content. The engine needs fuel; come back when the library

exists.

• Your show is audio-only. Audio-only feeds come back as captioned audiograms, not vertical

video. Video shows get captioned vertical clips.

The two guarantees

The First Clip Promise: connect your archive, and if your first episode does not come back as clip posts you would actually publish, we get on a call with you and personally help you get there. You keep every clip either way.

The 90-day money-back guarantee: full refund within 90 days, no questions, no conditions attached (home, checked 2026-10-29).

FAQ

How is this different from clipping each webinar with a per-upload tool? Per-upload tools start from the file you just made, so your back catalogue stays dark and you buy footage allowance every month for video you already own. PodControl connects the library once, indexes every hour of it, and spends a monthly clip allowance (35, 60 or 150 finished clips) on the strongest moments anywhere in it.

Does PodControl charge per seat for our team? No. The plan copy reads “Your whole team included, never charged per login”, and the stack section lists no per-seat charges among the things deliberately not charged for (home, checked 2026-10-29). The plan ladder meters clips, channels and archive hours, not people.

Which networks does it publish to? LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky, Nostr and X on its free allowance. A network appears on this list only when it is connected and publishing, and TikTok is still in review with TikTok (home, checked 2026-10-29).

What does it cost, and do we lose unused clips? Starter is $7 at launch for 35 clips a month and a 20 hour archive; the Engine is $9 for 60 clips and 50 hours; Amplify is $297 for 150 clips and 150 hours. You are charged by the finished clip, rejected clips refund their credit, and nothing in the stack expires in the way credit systems usually do (home, checked 2026-10-29).

Quick answer: PodControl is a podcast clipping tool an agency can run under its own retainer. Connect each client show’s archive once (RSS feed, Google Drive or YouTube channel); the engine works the whole back catalogue daily, cuts clips that stand on their own, captions them, and publishes on schedule. One payment from $7 at launch, charged per finished clip, rejected clips refunded, nothing publishes without your approval. The alternatives are per-video tools times every client, or a done-for-you retainer billing $2,000 to $5,000 a month.

Your client just asked who is posting their clips. Somebody on your team is cutting this week’s
episode by hand, or the client’s clips stopped two months ago because the intern left. The
agency answer to clipping has always been people: hire an editor, bill the hours, or send it to
a done-for-you service and mark it up.

The tools are not an answer either. Every clipping tool built for agencies still runs one video
at a time: paste the link, pick the highlights, export, repeat, times every client you carry.

The per-video treadmill, times every client

This is how the whole tool category works today, including the tools that sell agency plans.
Opus, OptimaClip, VIDIO, Choppity and the rest all run the same loop: one video in, clips out,
per run. On a single client show it is manageable. An agency does not have one show. Five client
shows publishing weekly is 260 episodes a year. Run each one through a per-video tool before it
is useful and the review time alone becomes a line item you either eat or bill.

The services that do work whole back catalogues, the white-label production shops in every
search result for this query, solve it with staff and a monthly retainer. The home page’s own
math says it plainly: agencies bill $2,000 to $5,000 a month to clip content the client already
made.

What changes when each client archive is connected once

PodControl runs the other direction. For each client show, connect the archive one time: the
RSS feed, the Google Drive folder, or the YouTube channel. Every episode the client has ever
recorded becomes available in one place. The engine reads the back catalogue, finds the moments
that stand on their own, and turns each one into a clip with a caption written in the client’s
voice, not a transcript pasted into a box.

Then it keeps working. You approve the clips you like and they go out on schedule on the
networks you connected. Reject one and the credit comes back, so a client’s taste never costs
you money. Nothing publishes without you, which is the brand-safety line you already needed:
the switch stays in your hands on every client account.

The math your client will actually check

A done-for-you clipping retainer is $2,000 to $5,000 a month, per the home page’s own
comparison. PodControl is one payment: Starter is $7 for 35 clips a month on 1 channel with 20 hours of archive; Engine is $9 for 60 clips a month on 3 channels with 50 hours; Amplify is $297 for 150 clips a month on 8 channels with 150 hours. You are charged by the finished clip, not the minute
of footage, and credits never expire.

Run it as per-deliverable billing if you like: the clips are finished posts, the receipts show
what was cut and what posted, and a clip the client rejects refunds its credit instead of
becoming a line-item argument. One payment, no renewal.

Where client clips go

Publishing today: LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky and Nostr. TikTok is in
review with TikTok, and Pinterest needs a still image on every post. A network only appears on
this list when it is connected and publishing, so this list moves only when the connection is
real.

When PodControl is not the right fit

• You sell white-label dashboards, team seats or API access as part of the retainer. PodControl
  offers none of those today, and this page will not pretend otherwise. If multi-client
  workspaces are the product you need, the tools that ship them are the honest pick and our
  comparison pages say so.
• You want to hand-edit every clip on a timeline before it goes to the client. PodControl is
  approve and reject, with captions written for each clip, not an editor.
• You need TikTok on day one. TikTok publishing is in review. If that network is the whole
  point of the client campaign, wait for it to flip, and check this page, because we will not
  list it until it is live.
• Your client show is audio-only. Audio-only feeds come back as captioned audiograms, not
  vertical video; video shows get captioned vertical clips.

The First Clip Promise

If the first episode does not come back as clip posts you would actually put in front of a
client, we get on a call with you and personally help you get there. You keep every clip either
way. Full refund within 90 days, no questions, no conditions.

FAQ

How does this fit an agency that runs several client shows?
Each client show gets its archive connected once: RSS feed, Google Drive, or YouTube channel.
The engine then works that library daily. The plan ladder caps connected channels per account
(1, 3 or 8), so the account structure for many clients is a question to settle before you buy,
and the answer will be written here first.

Which platforms does it publish to?
LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky and Nostr today, on your schedule. TikTok is in
review and Pinterest needs a still image on every post. A network only appears on this list when
it is connected and publishing.

What does it cost?
One payment. Starter is $7 for 35 clips a month on 1 channel with 20 hours of archive; Engine is $9 for 60 clips a month on 3 channels with 50 hours; Amplify is $297 for 150 clips a month on 8 channels with 150 hours.
You pay per finished clip and rejected clips refund their credit.

Can I review clips before they reach the client?
Yes. Nothing publishes without you. You approve the clips you like, they go out on schedule,
and the ones you reject refund their credit.

Quick answer: PodControl is an AI clip maker built for your whole library, not the newest video. Connect your YouTube channel, Google Drive or RSS feed once; the engine works every video you have ever uploaded, cuts clips that stand on their own, writes the captions, and publishes on schedule to LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky and Nostr. One payment from $7 at launch, charged per finished clip, with rejected clips refunded.

You have a channel. Maybe two hundred videos deep, maybe two thousand. Every clip tool you
look at wants the same thing: paste a link, wait for the pass, pick the highlights, export.
Then do it again. And again. The tool is built for the video you shot this week, and your
library quietly never enters the picture.

The per-video treadmill

This is how the whole category works today. Opus, Riverside, Kapwing, Choppity, Vmaker and
the rest all run the same loop: one video in, clips out, per run. Some of them are good at
it, and on our comparison pages we say so. For a creator with five videos, the loop is fine.

A real channel is not five videos. If you publish twice a week, two years in you are sitting
on roughly 200 videos. Run each one through a per-video tool at fifteen minutes of review per
pass and the backlog costs you about 50 hours before a single new clip has posted. Most
channels do the math and quietly post nothing.

What changes when the channel is connected once

PodControl runs the other direction. You connect the library one time: point us at your
YouTube channel, your Google Drive, or an RSS feed. Every video you have ever uploaded
becomes available in one place. The engine reads the back catalogue, finds the moments that
stand on their own, and turns each one into a clip with a caption written for it.

Then it keeps working. Approve the clips you like from your phone and they go out on
schedule, on the networks you connected. Reject the ones you do not and the credit comes
back. A channel that was posting on willpower is suddenly covered every day, from material
it already paid for.

Where your clips go

Publishing today: LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky and Nostr. TikTok is in
review with TikTok, and Pinterest needs a still image on every post. We only list a network
when it is connected and publishing, so this list moves only when the connection is real.
X is not one of our channels, and we do not list things we cannot deliver.

What it costs

One payment, not a subscription. Starter is $7 for 35 clips a month on 1 channel with 20 hours of archive. Engine is $9 for 60 clips a month on 3 channels with 50 hours. Amplify is $297 for 150 clips a month on 8 channels with 150 hours. You are charged by the finished clip, not the minute of
footage, and credits never expire: a clip you reject refunds its credit, and clips you never
review expire on their own and refund too. First Clip Promise and a 90-day refund at every
stage.

Built for the people behind the channel

If an editor or an assistant runs the review queue, the whole team is included: never
charged per login. Your archive stays yours. We never sell it, and you keep every clip
whether you stay or not.

When PodControl is not the right fit

• You need YouTube Shorts or TikTok publishing on day one. Neither is in the live list
  today: TikTok is in review, and a network only appears when it is connected and
  publishing. If those networks are the whole point, wait for the flip and check this page.
• You want to hand-edit every clip on a timeline. PodControl is approve and reject, with
  captions written for each clip, not an editor. If editing is the job you enjoy, a
  per-video editor is the better tool and the comparison pages will tell you which.
• You want virality scores, AI b-roll or template packs. PodControl finds the moments and
  writes the captions; it does not generate new footage or score your clips.
• Your library is audio-only. Audio-only feeds come back as captioned audiograms, not
  vertical video. If audiograms are not the format you want on social, that is the
  expectation to set before you buy.

The First Clip Promise

If your first video does not come back as clip posts you would actually publish, we get on
a call with you and personally help you get there. You keep every clip either way. Full
refund within 90 days, no questions, no conditions.

FAQ

Do I have to re-upload my old videos?
No. Connect the library once, from your YouTube channel, your Google Drive or an RSS feed.
Every video you have ever uploaded becomes available in one place.

Does it publish to YouTube Shorts?
Not today. Publishing runs on LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky and Nostr,
on your schedule. TikTok is in review, and a network only appears on the list when it is
connected and publishing. You keep every clip either way.

What does it cost?
One payment. Starter is $7 for 35 clips a month on 1 channel with 20 hours of archive; Engine is $9 for 60 clips a month on 3 channels with 50 hours; Amplify is $297 for 150 clips a month on 8 channels with 150 hours.
You pay per finished clip and rejected clips refund their credit.

My editor reviews the clips. Do they need their own login?
No. The whole team is included, never charged per login.

My content is audio-only. What do I get?
Captioned audiograms. Video shows get captioned vertical clips. Both are cut as complete
thoughts.

Quick answer: PodControl is a podcast clipping tool built for the whole archive, not one episode at a time. Connect your RSS feed, Google Drive or YouTube channel once; the engine works through the episodes you already published, up to the archive hours in your plan, cuts clips that stand on their own, writes the captions, and publishes on your schedule to LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky and Nostr. One payment from $7 at launch, charged per finished clip, with rejected clips refunded.

You spent three years recording episodes nobody hears anymore. Every clipping tool you look at
wants one episode at a time: upload the file, paste the link, pick the highlights, export. It
works. Then you do it again for the next episode. Your back catalogue never enters the picture.

The per-episode treadmill

the rest all run the same loop: one episode in, clips out, per run. Some of them are good at it,
and on our comparison pages we say so. For a creator with five videos, the loop is fine.

A podcaster does not have five videos. A podcaster has a show. If you publish weekly, three
years in you are sitting on roughly 150 episodes. Run each one through a per-episode tool at
twenty minutes of review per pass and the backlog costs you about 50 hours before you have
posted a single day of new content. Most shows do the math and quietly post nothing.

What changes when the archive is connected once

PodControl runs the other direction. You connect the archive one time: point us at your RSS
feed, your Google Drive, or your YouTube channel. Every episode inside your plan’s archive becomes
available in one place. The engine reads the back catalogue, finds the moments that stand on
their own, and turns each one into a clip with a caption written for it.
