FAQ

Questions creators ask us most.

How long does processing take?

A 1-hour podcast is usually ready in under 4 minutes. A 30-minute YouTube upload typically returns its first 10 shorts in about 2 minutes. Pro and Studio plans use priority GPU lanes.

What languages do auto-captions support?

English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin (Simplified & Traditional), Russian, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, and 13 others — with word-level alignment in all.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Cancel from the dashboard with one click — no email, no phone call. You keep full access until the end of the current billing period.

Do you store my source videos?

Source files are kept for 30 days so you can re-export. Exported clips stay forever in your library. EU and US datacenter regions are available on Studio.

Is there an API?

Yes — Studio includes REST + webhook access. Submit a video URL or upload, receive shorts with metadata (hook score, language, dimensions, captions JSON) ready to post.

Can I use Checkingcart for client work?

Absolutely. Studio plan includes a 5-seat team workspace, white-label exports (no watermark, your branding), and per-client brand kits.

How is this different from CapCut or Descript?

CapCut is a manual editor — you still scrub the timeline yourself. Descript is great for podcast text editing. Checkingcart auto-picks the viral moments, reframes them, captions them, and exports them in one pass. The work is done in 60 seconds, not 60 minutes.

Do you support live podcasts / streaming?

Live show clipping is on the Studio roadmap for Q4. Today, you can drop in the post-show YouTube/Spotify/Apple Podcasts URL and have shorts ready before the live audience finishes their drinks.

Ship your first short tonight.
