sh. industries · a studio run with its own AI system

Your long recordings have a week of clips in them. We cut them, every week.

SH turns founder podcasts and long-form video into captioned vertical clips, delivered in 48 hours, by one person and the system he built to run the studio. Scroll for everything SH sells, from three free clips to a monthly engine, and the kit if you'd rather run the system yourself.

From the studio's own logs: 84 s of machine time to cut 3 finished clips from an 81-minute episode. A person watches every clip before it leaves.

How it works

Straight answers

Before you pay

Who actually does the work?

Steven Hainley, with a system he built that handles transcripts, captions, framing, loudness and delivery. He picks the moments and watches every clip before it leaves. No clip is sent unseen.

Why is there no monthly plan on the free sample?

Because you should see the work first. Monthly is offered after a first paid pack, with the queue, pause and refund terms in writing.

Do you post for me?

Not yet. You get files and captions ready to post; posting on your behalf becomes an add-on once it can be done through your own accounts safely.

Will the clips get views?

Nobody can promise that. The free sample exists so you can post ours next to yours and see. Most founder shows we checked have episodes doing thousands of views and Shorts doing under a hundred; that gap is what SH works on.

Refunds?

Packs: if a pack is late by more than 24 hours, it's free. Monthly: cancel any time; no refund for a month in which a pack has been delivered. Kit: 14 days, no questions, through the store.
