A one-hour episode becomes a week of clips.

Transcript, founder interview1:02:14
Honestly the first year was mostly me guessing. People ask what I would do differently, and there is one thing I say every time. I hired my best friend first. Worst decision I made that year. Not because he was bad at the job. Because I couldn't fire him.9.1 We are still friends, for the record.
Pricing was the other mistake. We charged nine dollars because it felt polite. So we called our first ten customers and asked one question: what would you pay if we disappeared tomorrow? Seven of them said double.7.6 We raised prices the next morning and nobody left.
By then we had moved twice, and yeah that was kind of the, the whole thing with the office move, which, I mean, we talked about earlier, so4.7 anyway, where was I.
9.1/10
Opens on a confession, needs no context and ends on a line people repeat.

- Makes sense on its own24 of 25Can someone who never saw the episode follow it?
- Payoff23 of 25Does it end on the point or the punchline instead of trailing off?
- Worth sharing21 of 25Is there emotion, humour, a useful idea or a line people will quote?
Framed for a phone, shot by shot.
Punctum looks at every camera angle and picks the framing that keeps the people talking on screen. The frame holds still and only moves when the speaker does.
A full-height crop that follows them, and holds still when they do.
Every clip comes out ready to post.
Captions on every word
The word being spoken lights up as it's said, in six styles and any colour.
Every shape
9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, 4:5 and 1:1 for feeds, 16:9 for YouTube.
Dead air cut
Long pauses, ums and uhs come out, so clips move at feed speed.
Caption and hashtags, written
Every clip comes with a post caption and hashtags. Edit the clip, then post it anywhere.

Questions
The short answers. Anything else, send a message and we'll reply by email.
What kind of videos work best?
Videos where people talk: podcasts, interviews, streams, sermons, lectures and panels, from about 15 minutes to 2 hours.
How long does it take?
Usually a few minutes for an hour of video. You can close the tab while it works; your clips will be waiting when you come back.
Which links work?
Links from YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Kick, Rumble, X, Facebook, Google Drive and Dropbox, plus direct links to video files. If a site refuses the download, upload the file instead. Files also give the sharpest clips.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. Sign in with Google and you get 30 minutes of video every month. Your clips are saved to your account, so they're there on any device.
What counts as a minute?
The length of the video you send in. A 40-minute episode uses 40 minutes, however many clips you get from it.
Can I clip any video?
Only videos you own or have permission to use.
Can it caption a whole video instead?
Yes. Open Captions and your video comes back in its own shape with captions on every word, nothing cut, each word checked by AI. Fix any word, and get a captions file for YouTube too.
Which languages does it understand?
Most spoken languages, from English and Spanish to Hungarian, Arabic, Hindi and Japanese. Punctum hears which one it is, and the captions and titles come in that language. On Captions, your captions can also be translated into 12 languages.
What happens to my uploads?
They're stored privately and used only to make your clips.
