Zara Paul and Aaron Morris are co-founders of Choppity from the United Kingdom with a strong technical background.
They both studied computer science, which helped them gain a deep understanding of how technology can solve real-world problems.
Zara and Aaron approached the podcasting or video industry from a problem-solving and automation perspective.
They saw the gap in the market. The content creators used to spend hours cutting footage, searching for highlights, formatting clips for different platforms and for small creators or podcasters editing tools were expensive.
With the realization that this needs to be simplified, Zara and Aaron began their startup journey.
The Birth of Choppity
Choppity, a video editing platform is co-founded by Zara Paul and Aaron Morris.
Designed specifically for creators, podcasters, and marketers who want faster and smarter editing solutions.
Choppity does not want to replace creativity, its goal is to replace technical friction so creators can focus on storytelling.
Choppity’s AI powered approach makes it different from traditional video editing software.
Instead of manually scrubbing through hours of footage, creators can use intelligent tools from Choppity to find, cut, and repurpose content quickly.
One of its key features allows users to search for moments inside a video using natural language, such as explaining a concept, finding where someone laughs, winks or reacts emotionally.
This approach is helpful for content creators or podcasters, who usually record long conversations but also want to create short, engaging clips for social media platforms like Youtube shorts and Instagram reels.
Evolution of Podcasting
Over the past decade, Podcasting has evolved dramatically.
What started as an audio only media has now developed into a visual storytelling format.
Visual podcasts reach a wider audience and increase engagement.
Audience behaviour has changed with people consuming more short form video content.
As a result, content creators and podcasters are now looking for tools that can handle both audio and video efficiently, making video editing not as an optional skill but as an essential skill.
Multiple functions such as formatting content for different platforms, cleaning and enhancing audio quality, synchronizing audio with video, creating short promotional clips, adding captions, graphics, and branding are delivered by video editing tools.
While aiming to reduce complexity, modern tools also maintain professional output and this is where intuitive editing software and AI-assisted platforms become crucial.
The New Normal: AI powered editing tools
AI has modified how podcasters edit content.
Instead of manually searching for key moments or trimming silence, repetitive tasks have been automated by AI tools.
Platforms like Choppity and Descript use transcription-based editing, which allows creators to edit video by editing text.
This is extremely helpful for podcasters who may not have formal training in video editing.
AI tools can easily generate captions and subtitles, create short clips from long episodes, identify highlights in conversations, automatically remove filler words and silence.
Which results in reduction of editing time and makes professional quality editing accessible to beginners.
Repurposing Podcast Content for Growth
Content repurposing is one of the biggest advantages of modern editing tools.
A single podcast episode can be converted into instagram reels, audiogram, quote videos, short video clips.
Due to this strategy visibility increases without requiring additional recording sessions.
By automatically identifying engaging moments, AI tools make this process faster.
Repurposing content is no longer optional for podcasters building personal brands or businesses, it is a necessity.
