Find and share your clips

You've made a clip or two. Here's where they live, how to grab the video file, and how to hand someone a link they can play without ever opening BitterClip.

Where your finished clips live

Every clip and rendered video you make lands in your project's Outputs tab. It sits in the project tab bar next to Episodes and Sources, and it gathers everything you've finished: the clips you cut, plus any longer videos you've put together.

Each clip stays linked to the recording it started from. So if you want to revisit the full episode, pull a different clip, or just jog your memory on the context, the trail back is always there.

Download a clip

A clip needs a moment to render before you can grab the file. Right after you cut it, you may see it marked "rendering" on its card; once it's ready, a Download button appears. You don't have to open the clip first. The download is right there on the card.

What you get is an MP4. By default it keeps your source's shape (a widescreen recording stays widescreen), and you can choose vertical or square when you export. Captions are burned right into the video by default, so they travel with it everywhere you post. If you turned captions off at export, the file comes out without them.

You can also publish a clip as a shareable link. Switch it on and you get a small video player that plays the clip on any web page: your site, a blog post, a landing page. Whoever you send it to never has to open BitterClip. They just press play.

You turn this on per clip, from the clip's card in the Outputs tab. The clip has to be exported and finished rendering first; if there's no ready export yet, the toggle won't switch on. You can turn it back off any time you want to stop sharing publicly.

BitterClip is free to start. Create your account and you're in a working space right away. We'll email you a verification link when you sign up — click it to start uploading and transcribing recordings.
