create_clip
Export a single podcast clip as a vertical short with burned-in captions, normalized audio, and customizable cropping and caption styles. Auto-loads settings from a suggested clip number.
Instructions
STEP 3 — Export a single clip as a finished vertical short (1080x1920, 9:16).
EASIEST: just pass clip_number (e.g. 3) — everything else auto-loads from session state. Output: H.264 MP4 with burned-in captions, normalized audio (-14 LUFS).
For batch export, use batch_create_clips instead. Caption styles: branded (professional), hormozi (bold/yellow), karaoke (progressive highlight), subtle (minimal). Crop modes: speaker (speaker-aware), face (face tracking), center (fixed center crop). Set keep_caption_overlay=true to retain a ProRes alpha overlay for DaVinci Resolve (export_to_davinci_resolve).
