Questions
Does Lalax Cast render clips?
Not yet. It generates clip suggestions with exact timestamps, hooks, and captions. Rendered vertical clips are the next product milestone.
Should I use both?
Possibly. Lalax Cast produces the text pack and clip suggestions; a rendering tool can turn those timestamps into final vertical videos.
Is the clip selection better?
Both tools select moments from the transcript. Lalax Cast's advantage is that the selection comes from the same pack as the show notes, social copy, and SEO.
