Story
Most founder shows we checked have episodes doing thousands of views and Shorts doing under a hundred. Every week without clips, the best minute of the episode stays inside a long video most people never open. The moments are already recorded; they need cutting, captioning and a hook, and that is the work you pay for.
What you get
- 8 vertical clips (15–60 s) from one episode, ready for Shorts, Reels and TikTok
- Captions burned in, styled for your show, with no auto-caption errors left in
- A hook line and a post caption for each clip
- Speaker crop for single and two-up layouts
- 48-hour turnaround and one round of changes
- A private folder you keep
Refunds
- Founding pack: not worth $99 to you? Reply within 7 days of delivery for a full refund.
- Packs: a pack more than 24 hours late is free.
- Monthly: pause or cancel any time; no refund for a month whose pack was delivered.
Full terms: refund policy.
Proof
SH Shorts is new, so there are no client results to show yet. What exists today, from the studio's own logs:
- 84 s of machine time to cut 3 finished clips from an 81-minute episode, before a person reviews them
- Every clip levelled to −14 LUFS and kept under 9 MB
- Offers live and payable by card since 15 Oct 2026
That is why the free sample and the refundable founding pack exist.
Questions
- Who does the work?
- Steven Hainley, with a system he built for transcripts, captions, framing, loudness and delivery. He picks the moments and watches every clip.
- Do you post for me?
- Not yet. You get files and captions ready to post.
- Will the clips get views?
- Nobody can promise that. Post ours next to yours and compare.
