Comedy lives or dies on the clip. Nova transcribes your set, sketch, or podcast, ranks the moments with the strongest reaction, reframes to vertical, and captions the bit, so the punchlines that killed in the room get a second life on the feed.

## What you get

### Find the laughs

AI moment detection plus audio energy surface the bits with the biggest reactions, so you post the punchlines instead of scrubbing the whole set.

### Timed captions land the bit

Word-by-word captions keep setup and punchline in sync, so the joke reads even with the sound off — and the caption never spoils the line early.

### Vertical and fast

Auto 9:16 reframe with active-speaker tracking turns a wide stage or podcast shot into a tight clip, ready to post in minutes.

## FAQ

### What comedy footage works in Nova?

Stand-up sets, sketches, podcast episodes, livestreams, and crowd-work clips — upload the file or paste a link and Nova finds the moments with the biggest reactions.

### Will the captions spoil the punchline?

Captions are word-by-word and timed to the audio, so the punchline appears as it's said, not before — preserving the setup-then-payoff timing the bit depends on.
