Podcast clip editing service for Australia

Podcast clip editing for Australian hosts and shows: episodes recorded anywhere, cut into 20 captioned vertical clips a month for a flat $999.

Recorded remotely, clipped remotely

Plenty of Australian podcasts are made across distances: the host in Sydney, a guest in Perth, an editor somewhere else again. The recording tools already assume nobody is in the same room. Clip editing can work the same way, so the post-production does not need to wait for a person to be in the right city.

20CLIPS turns each episode into clips for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. The editor listens to the recording, picks the strongest moments, tightens the speech, frames the speakers for portrait and adds captions, pacing and basic motion graphics. The fee is $999 a month, charged in US dollars, for 20 videos at around $50 each. Every clip has 2 revisions and nothing locks you in.

Everything runs through a shared folder. See the pricing page for the full list of inclusions, and podcast video editing for the wider service.

Which Australian shows benefit most

Business and coaching shows

Hosts who interview founders and practitioners get clear, quotable answers that work as clips.

Sport, fitness and outdoors podcasts

Stories and tips from guests suit short vertical video, especially with strong captions.

Industry and trade shows

Plain-spoken expertise travels well when it is cut down to one idea. Video editing for brands describes how branded shows use it.

Comedy and chat shows

A single exchange makes a complete clip if the set-up is kept.

Small teams with a part-time host

A show run on the side gets a regular clip supply without a producer.

What the editor is actually doing

Five parts of the work.

Listening for a self-contained moment

A clip should make sense without the episode around it, so the editor listens through the whole recording instead of searching a transcript.

Tightening without flattening

False starts and long pauses go, but the speaker's natural rhythm stays. That is what makes it feel like a clip and not an excerpt.

Framing the speakers

Wide shots with two or three people become portrait clips that cut between them and keep the person speaking in view.

Captioning every word

Accurate, timed captions that are easy to read on a phone.

Keeping the look consistent

One caption style and palette across clips from different episodes.

How a month goes

Start with a 30-minute call about the show: how many episodes you record, who listens and what you want clips to do. You agree the delivery schedule there.

Then share your logo, fonts, colours and a few clips you like, and upload each episode as it is recorded. Video gives the best clips, and audio-only shows can use simple visuals with strong captions. Clips come back for review with 2 revisions each, and you can mark timestamps you want.

Approved clips are finished files for you to post. For more on the method, read how to turn a podcast into short-form content.

Tips for sending episodes

If guests join remotely, ask them to record their own side locally as well. Cleaner audio and picture make better clips, and the editor can use whichever track is stronger.

  • The whole recording, with video where possible
  • Guest names and the show name
  • Logo, fonts and colours
  • Timestamps you already like
  • Clips from shows you admire

What weakens clips

  • Sending only audio when video exists
  • Taking a punchline without its set-up
  • Letting clips run as long as the topic
  • Leaving off guest names
  • Posting clips only on release day

Do it yourself, hire or subscribe

Cutting your own clips is fine for a handful, but twenty a month alongside recording and promotion is a lot to ask of a host. A producer on the payroll brings wages, on-costs and equipment, which is more than a clip workload of this size needs. A freelancer per episode can help, though each episode needs a new brief.

A monthly package is one fee and one method. See what podcast clip editing costs in Australia and how to hire podcast clip editing in Australia.

A sample month in Australia

A planning illustration, not a forecast of downloads.

Week one

Call, show assets and the latest episode. Approve the caption and layout style.

Week two

Send the next episode and mark any moments you want.

Week three

Send an older episode that holds up and use revisions on near-misses.

Week four

Upload the final recording and use the remaining clips.

Wherever your studio is

Editing is remote, so a studio in Sydney and a home setup in a regional town follow the same process. The Sydney page and the Melbourne page describe city use, and the Australia hub lists every service.

Clips can also go through YouTube Shorts editing and TikTok editing on the same plan. To decide how many to post, see how many short-form videos to post each week.
