bts is a clipping agency that runs on agents. Send a long video; agents cut it into scroll-stopping vertical clips; you approve every one from a link.
What is bts?
It is an agency and a studio on one engine. A team of agents researches your show, picks the moments, cuts and captions them, checks its own work and hands you a review link. You talk to it like a team, not a dashboard of knobs.
Every clip has the same shape:
- One moment. One idea that makes sense without the rest of the episode.
- Hook first. The scroll-stopping line comes first, with a headline on top.
- Framed and captioned. Cut to 9:16 around whoever is talking, with captions timed to every word.
Three sources that work:
- Your podcast. Years of episodes, most of them never clipped.
- Your interviews. The answer nobody expected, cut to one question.
- Your talks. The one line from each keynote that lands.
Every clip on this page came out of bts. See them all on the recipes wall.
Start in four steps
1Send one episode
Paste a link or send a file. Your first episode is a free Proof Week: the clips, a review link and a walk-through of what worked.
2Tell it about your show
- Your brand. Colours, fonts and logo. Every clip comes out in them.
- Your rules. Words it never uses, topics it skips, how long a clip runs.
- Your winners. Five to ten past clips that did well. It learns your taste from them.
What kind of long video is this channel cut from?
The agents read this before every run, so naming the lane sharpens what they watch and what they cut.
- Podcast episodes: stories, takes, laughs
- Founder and investor interviews: the answer worth a vertical
- Talks and keynotes: the line that lands
- Panels and live Q&As: the best answer, cut to one question
3Agents cut the first batch
The team researches the show, the host and the guest, then cuts the few moments that carry. It frames each speaker, burns in captions, writes the headline and checks every clip, re-rendering the weak ones. On autopilot it watches your channel and starts on each new episode by itself.

What should bts clip?
One moment per clip, from footage you own or have permission to clip. Ten that work:
- Podcast episodes. The story or the take, speaker in frame.
- Founder interviews. The answer that explains the company.
- Investor conversations. The one view a fund wants known.
- Keynotes and talks. The line from the stage that lands.
- Panels. Two voices, one disagreement, split screen.
- Your back catalogue. The episodes nobody has clipped yet.
- Live Q&As. The best answer, cut to one question.
- Webinars. The one idea people came for.
- Courses. One lesson, one idea, one clip.
- Product demos. The moment it clicks.
Two ways to work with bts
The same engine either way. Pick who runs it.
| Agency | Studio | |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs it | Our team runs bts for you | You, in the Mac app |
| Who reviews | We check every clip, then you approve from a link | You do |
| Turnaround | 48 hours, or 24 on Agency Plus | As fast as your Mac |
| Best for | Shows, founders and funds that want it handled | Teams with someone who likes to edit |
Run a clipping agency yourself? See clip supply for your campaigns.
Does it learn what works?
Yes. Once clips are live on YouTube, bts reads each one at days 3, 7, 14 and 28 and feeds the results into the next batch.
| It reads | So it can see |
|---|---|
| Views and engaged views | Which clips people chose to watch |
| Average view duration and the retention curve | Where a clip lost people |
| Likes, shares and comments | Which moments got a reaction |
| Subscribers gained | Which clips brought people to your channel |
It compares your clips with your own channel, not with anyone else’s. Your brand, your rules and your results stay in your workspace.
What does your first week look like?
- Day 1. Send one episode and a short brief.
- Days 2 to 5. Clips land on your review link. Approve, or ask for changes in your own words.
- Day 7. We walk through what worked, and you decide whether bts takes the next month.

Questions
Where does the footage come from?
Only from what you send: a link, a file or a channel you name. Clip footage you own or have permission to use. bts never goes looking for other people’s videos.
Does anything post without me?
No. Every clip waits on a review link. Publishing to YouTube happens only after a person approves it, at the time you choose.
Who reviews my clips?
bts checks every clip itself and re-renders the weak ones. On Agency our team reviews the batch too, before it reaches you. You always have the last word.
What does it cost?
Your first episode is free: a Proof Week with real clips on a review link. After that it is a monthly plan based on how many episodes you send, and we agree it with you.
Can I take my clips with me?
Yes. Every clip, caption and headline downloads, and your brand kit and rules stay yours.
