The short answer
ClipHound is a social media video editing service for podcasts, including video podcasts. A human editor watches your episode and cuts it into Reels, TikTok and Shorts clips, chosen by a person rather than an algorithm. Clips are $30 each, minimum 5 an order, with no subscription: order them when you need them, formatted and captioned for each platform.
Cut for the platform, not just the feed
Every clip is reframed to vertical 9:16 and captioned by a person who has watched the whole episode, not a template applied automatically across every upload.
Your episodes, not a content calendar
We clip the podcast episodes you already publish, audio or video. We do not shoot original social content or run your wider social strategy - just this one job, done well.
No brief to manage
Send a link to your episode. A human editor decides what becomes a clip, the same judgment call a producer would make, without you writing a shot list first.
Which one is right for you?
ClipHound fits podcasts, audio or video, that want their episodes turned into Reels, TikTok and Shorts clips by a human editor, at $30 a clip, minimum 5 an order, with no subscription. A freelance editor fits better for original content creation, or when you want to direct every decision yourself through a detailed brief.
- You publish a podcast, audio or video, and need your episodes cut down for Reels, TikTok and Shorts specifically.
- You want a human editor picking the moments worth posting, not a freelancer waiting on your detailed brief.
- Your style is settled once, and every clip follows it, not a different freelancer for every batch.
- You would rather order a finished, platform-ready set of clips when you need them than manage the cutting and captioning yourself.
- You need entirely new social content shot from scratch, not clips from episodes you already have.
- You want to direct every creative decision yourself and are comfortable writing a detailed brief for each job.
- Your content is not a podcast, such as talks, webinars or courses.
- You already have a trusted freelance editor whose rate, style and turnaround you know well.
Side-by-side comparison
The practical difference is scope and process. ClipHound is built specifically to cut your podcast episodes into platform-native clips, chosen by an editor, at a fixed $30 a clip, minimum 5 an order, with no subscription. A freelancer can take on a wider range of work, including original content, but output, turnaround and cost depend on the individual and the brief you write them.
One episode. Its best moments.
A real editor watched all 44 minutes and pulled the moments worth posting.

Frequently asked questions
Do you produce original social media content, or just clip what I already have?+
Just clips, and we say so upfront. ClipHound cuts your existing podcast episodes, audio or video, into Reels, TikTok and Shorts. We do not shoot original social content or run your wider social strategy.
Do you only work with podcasts?+
Yes. ClipHound is built for podcasts, including video podcasts. We also edit full episodes if you want that too - see our podcast editing service.
Is switching from a freelance editor difficult?+
No. Answer three quick questions, a human editor reviews your existing episodes, then you book a short call. There is nothing to pay to get started, and you can keep working with your current freelancer in parallel until you are ready.
Which platforms do you format clips for?+
Clips are reframed to vertical 9:16 and captioned for Reels, TikTok and Shorts as standard. Tell us which platforms matter most and we match the format.
How much do clips cost?+
$30 a clip, minimum 5 an order, no subscription. You order them when you need them, and every clip is chosen by a human editor from your episodes.
How is this different from hiring a freelance editor?+
A freelancer's output, turnaround and cost depend on the individual and the brief you write them. ClipHound is a fixed $30 a clip, minimum 5 an order: an editor chooses every clip, and your style is settled once for all of them.

Why “social media video editing” needs an honest scope line
“Social media video editing service” is a broad phrase that could mean almost anything, from shooting brand-new TikTok content from scratch to editing footage someone else already recorded. It is worth being clear about what ClipHound actually is: a service for podcasts, including video podcasts, that takes the episodes you already publish and cuts them into clips for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. If you need original social content shot from nothing, that is a different job and a different kind of provider, and we would rather say so than stretch the offer to fit.
Where ClipHound fits is the same underlying process as our done-for-you podcast clipping service: a human editor watches your whole episode, chooses the moments worth posting, then cuts, captions and reframes them to vertical for whichever platforms you post to. You can see exactly what that looks like on one real 44-minute episode in the case study behind these numbers - ten clips a human editor actually chose, formatted and ready to post, not a batch of auto-generated exports to sort through yourself.
If your episodes are already recorded but under-used, how to repurpose podcast content covers the wider set of ways to get more mileage out of them before you reach the clipping stage. We also edit full episodes, if that is useful: see our podcast editing service. And if you would like a regular arrangement rather than ordering as you go, the video editing subscription comparison explains how a weekly show can work with us.
Against a freelance editor, the honest trade-off runs both ways. A skilled freelancer can take on a wider range of work, including original content, and if you already have someone whose taste you trust, that relationship has real value a service cannot replace. ClipHound’s case is narrower and more specific: a fixed, published price per clip for turning your podcast episodes into platform-native social clips, ordered when you need them, each chosen by an editor, with your style settled once, and every clip following it, without you writing a fresh brief every time.
If you publish a podcast and are under-using it on social, the fastest way to find out if this fits is to answer three quick questions. Nothing is charged to get started, and there is no commitment before the call.
