Long recording → social clips
AMAs, town halls and spaces produce hours of audio the community wants back in text.
The chain
Get the recording out of Vimeo
Your videos offer direct file downloads from the video's settings (original + transcoded versions). Vimeo keeps the original upload — download that for the best audio.
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 community managers: The best moments become shareable captioned clips.
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 Vimeo store its recordings?
Your videos offer direct file downloads from the video's settings (original + transcoded versions). Vimeo keeps the original upload — download that for the best audio.
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 community managers?
