1. Add the recording and choose your clips
Open Cubix and choose Social Clips. Upload a podcast, interview, webinar or creator recording, or paste a supported YouTube link. Choose Auto for the count and length when you want the footage to guide the first pass.
- You can request a count up to 10 clips.
- Length choices include Auto, 15–30 seconds and 30–60 seconds.
- A count is a request for candidates; the recording still needs enough useful material.
2. Review each standalone moment
Preview each candidate as if you had never seen the source recording. Check that the opening establishes the subject, the middle explains the point and the ending completes the thought. Keep the clips that serve your audience.
- Include the context needed to understand names, references or an answer.
- Check that the opening and ending do not cut a word or idea in half.
- Skip repetitive or weak candidates rather than publishing the entire set.
3. Edit captions, framing and the opening
Use the clip workspace to review the words, choose a caption look and adjust the frame. Keep the speaker or demonstration visible. A headline can clarify the subject, but it should accurately describe what the clip says.
- Correct names, numbers and product terms in the captions.
- Check the crop throughout the clip, including speaker movement.
- Choose a readable caption placement and preview at phone size.
4. Download a clip or continue editing
You can download a reviewed clip as an MP4 from the Social Clips workspace. Open the clip in the full editor when you need more timeline controls for cuts, B-roll or other finishing. Creator supports exports up to 1080p; Pro supports up to 4K.
5. Check the version you will publish
A vertical frame is a useful starting point for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. Review the destination's upload preview for cropping, interface overlap and caption readability. The same clip may need a different opening or treatment for another audience.
- Keep a clear copy of each exported version.
- Check that important text stays visible in the destination's preview.
- Publish or schedule through the platform or your chosen publishing tool.
6. Repeat with the useful material
Review older recordings for explanations, stories and answers that still matter. Keep a backlog of finished clips, and use audience feedback to decide which topics deserve another recording. Let the available material determine how many clips are worth keeping.
✖ Publishing every generated candidate
Why it fails: Some moments repeat an idea or need more context than the clip contains.
✔ Better approach: Keep the clips that communicate a complete, useful thought.
✖ Skipping the caption and framing review
Why it fails: An incorrect name or cropped demonstration can make the message harder to follow.
✔ Better approach: Watch each clip and check the words and picture before export.
✖ Treating every platform preview as identical
Why it fails: Cropping and interface placement can change how the exported frame appears.
✔ Better approach: Check the uploaded preview at the destination.
