Long recording → social clips
Talks are expensive to produce and cheap to waste.
The chain
Get the recording out of OBS Studio
Recordings save to the path in Settings → Output → Recording (MKV by default; remux to MP4 via File → Remux Recordings). MKV protects against crashes but some tools reject it — remux or extract audio first.
Transcribe first
Text is the fastest way to find the moment worth clipping.
Cut clips by transcript
Whipscribe's clipping renders 9:16/1:1/16:9 with burned-in captions from the word timestamps.
For event & conference teams: Every talk yields promo clips for next year's sales.
Frequently asked
How do I long recording → social clips?
First transcribe first (whipscribe.com/upload) Then cut clips by transcript (whipscribe.com/clipping). You end up with: Caption-burned vertical clips located by search, not by scrubbing.
Where does OBS Studio store its recordings?
Recordings save to the path in Settings → Output → Recording (MKV by default; remux to MP4 via File → Remux Recordings). MKV protects against crashes but some tools reject it — remux or extract audio first.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The free preparation tools run entirely in your browser (WebAssembly), and transcription is a web upload with an instant no-signup preview.
Is my file uploaded during the preparation steps?
No — the tools-online steps (extract, compress, trim, convert, clean up) process the file locally in your browser. Audio only uploads when you choose to transcribe it.
How accurate is the transcription?
Clear audio in major languages transcribes near-publishable; noisy or accented audio deserves a review pass. The instant preview shows real output on your own recording before you commit anything.
Why does this matter for event & conference teams?
Every talk yields promo clips for next year's sales.
