A short-form studio Working with creators globally · Based in the UK

You already made the content.
We make it travel.

Slacksaw turns your podcasts, YouTube videos, and webinars into short-form clips engineered for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Built for coaches, founders, and podcasters who have a back catalogue and not enough hours in the week.

The problem we solve.

You have content, but no clips.

Hundreds of hours of long-form sit in your archive. Every episode contains 15–20 strong moments. None of them ever reach the platforms where new audiences actually find you.

Editing is a time tax you can't pay.

You didn't start a podcast to sit in CapCut at 11pm. The work that grew your business — recording, coaching, building — gets pushed aside the moment editing becomes a job.

AI tools cut clips. They don't pick winners.

Auto-clipping software gives you 50 mediocre cuts and no sense of which one will actually perform. Algorithms reward hooks and pacing, not transcripts. That's the gap we close.

02

What we make.

Three things, done with care, every month.

Deliverable 01

Vertical short-form clips

15 to 30 finished clips per month, formatted 9:16, optimised for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Each one is hand-selected from your long-form content, trimmed for pace, captioned with manual corrections, and built around a hook that earns the first 1.5 seconds of attention.

Deliverable 02

Posting-ready files and copy

Every clip arrives with a suggested caption, three to five hashtags chosen for your niche, and a recommended posting order. You drop them into your scheduler. No additional editing, no formatting, no thinking required.

Deliverable 03

A monthly performance read

At the end of each month we look at which clips performed and which didn't — and we tell you why. Hooks that worked. Topics that didn't. What to record more of. The goal is for the work to compound, not to repeat the same loop forever.

03

Why this is worth it.

~12 hrs

Time it takes a creator to edit, caption, and format 20 short-form clips themselves — every month, indefinitely. We do that for you.

3 platforms

One long-form recording, repurposed into clips that work natively on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts — three audiences, one effort.

48 hours

From the moment you send a podcast or video, you get finished clips back. No two-week turnaround. No bottleneck on your side.

£0 risk

Every new client gets a free sample clip from their own content before signing. You see the work before you spend a penny.

04

Recent work.

A few clips, with the thinking behind them.

Sample 01 · placeholder Replace with embedded clip
Business coaching

"The £10k pricing mistake most coaches make."

Source: 47-minute YouTube video on consultancy pricing.
What we did: Pulled the strongest counterintuitive claim from minute 23 to the front. Cut all preamble. 38 seconds, captioned, ends on a hook that drives comments.

Sample 02 · placeholder Replace with embedded clip
Fitness & PT business

"Why session-to-session PTs stay broke."

Source: 62-minute podcast episode on PT business models.
What we did: Reordered the episode's central argument so the conclusion led the clip. Added a single text overlay at the 4-second mark to anchor the takeaway. 44 seconds.

Sample 03 · placeholder Replace with embedded clip
Solopreneur / automation

"You don't need more tools."

Source: 28-minute YouTube tutorial on workflow automation.
What we did: Stripped the tutorial framing and kept the philosophical hook that opens the video. Held the cold open for 2 seconds longer than typical to let the line land. 31 seconds.

How we work.

i.

You send us long-form content.

A podcast feed, a YouTube channel, raw recordings, webinars — anything over 15 minutes. We accept Dropbox links, Google Drive, WeTransfer, or RSS.

ii.

We watch it. Properly.

We don't auto-clip. A human watches the source content, marks the strongest moments, and selects the ones with the highest chance of stopping a scroll on TikTok or Reels.

iii.

We edit each clip individually.

Trim every dead moment. Reframe to vertical. Caption with manual correction. Add hooks where the source doesn't have one. Polish until it earns its 30 seconds of someone's attention.

iv.

You get a delivery package.

Every clip, with caption suggestions and hashtags, dropped into a shared folder. Ready to upload. We hold one revision round per clip if you want changes.

v.

You post. We learn. The work compounds.

Each month we look at what landed and what didn't, and feed that into the next batch. The goal is for clip 200 to outperform clip 1 by a wide margin.

06

Honest answers to honest questions.

How is this different from Opus Clip or Submagic?

AI clipping tools find moments based on transcript signals. They miss tone, pacing, and the moments that actually go viral. We use AI tools where they help — initial transcription, rough scrubbing — but a human picks every clip, writes every hook, and approves every edit. The result is fewer clips, but ones that perform.

Do you guarantee views or follower growth?

No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. Short-form performance depends on your niche, your content quality, posting consistency, and platform algorithms — all of which we influence but don't control. What we guarantee is craft: every clip is hook-led, well-paced, captioned, and ready to post. That's the part we can stake our work on.

What if I don't like a clip?

Each clip includes one revision round. Tell us what's off and we re-edit. If after revision a clip still doesn't fit your brand, we replace it with another one from the same source content at no extra cost.

How fast can we start?

Once you confirm a plan, we ask for one piece of long-form content and turn around your first batch within 5 working days. After that, batches run on a regular cadence agreed with you.

What if I record everything in person, not on Zoom?

Doesn't matter. We work with raw camera footage, podcast video, screen recordings, and audio-only files. Audio-only is harder to make compelling on short-form, but we can layer captions, b-roll, and minimal visuals to make it work.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Mutual NDAs are standard for any client who handles confidential content. Send yours over and we'll sign before you share material.

08

Start with a free clip.

Send us a link to one of your podcasts, YouTube videos, or webinars. We'll cut a 30 to 45-second clip from it, captioned and ready to post, and email it back within 48 hours. No commitment. If you like it, we talk pricing. If not, you keep the clip.
