    Rahul Mukesh Nair

    Global Creative Director

    I grew up believing the first few seconds of something are everything. That instinct has driven eight years of work across Mumbai and the UK, at the intersection of design, video, and motion, where the story always comes before the cut.

    My foundation was built at Publicis Groupe in Mumbai. Three years producing campaigns for Amazon India, L'Oreal Matrix, ZEE5, and Siemens. Tight deadlines, global clients, no room for average. That environment taught me to move fast without losing craft, and to make something feel considered even when the clock is running.

    From there I moved into podcast storytelling, and found exactly where I wanted to be. Over the past four years I've created trailers for shows fronted by Oprah, MrBeast, Ava DuVernay, 2 Chainz, and more. Work viewed by millions, compressed into sixty seconds. The hardest edit, and the one I keep coming back to.

    My process starts with restraint. Before I touch the timeline, I find the story. Once I have it, everything follows: the edit, the score, the colour, the pace. The goal is never to impress. It's to make something that feels inevitable.

    "I highly recommend Rahul as an editor and would love to work together again. A wizard with editing at a very early age, it has been a treat to see him grow and develop as a creative professional. Dedicated to his craft, not shy of exploring unknown territories, and a great team-player. 10/10 would recommend."

    AI

    AI tools built to remove the busywork.
    Not to replace the editor.

    Wisdom is democratised now. Nothing is gatekept anymore. If you have a problem, you can build the solution. That's what I use AI for: not only to speed up workflows, but to do things I once only dreamed of doing.

    01

    Moments

    Moments ingests a full podcast episode and outputs a 90 second trailer, automatically. It identifies the most powerful, controversial, and emotionally charged moments in the conversation, then sequences them into a narrative built to hook, hold attention, and convert.

    What sets it apart

    Most tools stop at the transcript. Moments analyses the audio itself, tracking pitch, tonality, and pacing to detect real emotional shifts, the same signals a trained editor listens for, at a scale no editor can match.

    Cold open 0:00 Tension builds 0:42 Quiet beat 1:15 Voice cracks 2:03 Big reveal 2:47
    • Detects emotional peaks directly from audio, not just text
    • Ranks moments by how likely they are to stop a scroll
    • Assembles a narrative arc, not a highlight reel
    • Outputs a ready-to-edit trailer cut in minutes
    The problem

    "Every trailer I've ever cut started the same way: hours of listening, waiting for the moment a guest's voice cracks, their pace quickens, or the room goes quiet. That instinct isn't something you can write into a prompt. Moments was built to put that instinct on demand."

    FAQ

    How is this different from asking an LLM to summarise the transcript?

    A transcript summary only sees words. Moments listens to the actual audio, pitch, tonality, and pacing, to find the moments that carry real emotional weight, not just the moments that sound important on paper.

    What audio or video formats does it accept?

    Any standard podcast export works, WAV, MP3, or a video file with a clean audio track. If it plays back cleanly, Moments can process it.

    How long does it take to generate a trailer?

    A full episode typically returns a sequenced trailer cut in minutes, not hours. Processing time scales with episode length, not with how much editing judgement is required.

    Do I still need to edit the output?

    The output is a structured, ordered cut, not a finished master. Most of the editorial decisions are already made, so what's left is polish: pacing, sound, and graphics, not moment selection.

    Does it work for non-podcast content?

    It's tuned for long-form conversational audio, podcasts, interviews, panels. Anything with a spoken narrative arc and genuine emotional variation is a good fit.

    Is my audio stored or used to train anything?

    No. Audio is processed to generate your output and isn't retained or reused beyond that job.

    Chapter Too

    Chapter Too reads a full podcast transcript, detects natural chapter breaks, and writes and numbers each title automatically. It also generates the overlays: transparent MOV files ready to drop straight onto your timeline.

    What sets it apart

    No back and forth with an LLM, no staring at a blank title field. Chapter Too finds the structure that's already inside your content and turns it into export-ready chapter markers in one pass.

    1. Cold Open 0:00 2. Meet the Guest 3:12 3. The Big Question 9:45 4. Where It Went Wrong 18:20 5. The Turnaround 27:05 6. Closing Thoughts 35:40
    • Finds natural chapter breaks from the transcript alone
    • Writes and numbers every chapter title automatically
    • Exports transparent MOV overlays, drag-and-drop ready
    • One pass, zero prompting
    The problem

    "Titling chapters used to be the part of editing I dreaded most. Not because the ideas weren't there, they were always sitting in the transcript, but because pulling them out felt like a whole separate job on top of the edit. Chapter Too exists because the answer was already in the content. It just needed someone to read it properly."

    FAQ

    How accurate are the auto-generated chapter titles?

    Chapter Too pulls titles from language already in the conversation, so they read like they were written by someone who actually listened to the episode, not a generic label guessed from keywords.

    Can I edit the titles before exporting?

    Yes. The generated titles and numbering are a starting point, not a final decision. Every title is editable before the overlays are rendered.

    What editing software do the overlays work with?

    Overlays export as transparent MOV files, a format that drops directly onto a timeline in any standard NLE, no plugin or proprietary player required.

    Does it handle multiple speakers?

    Yes. Chapter breaks are detected from shifts in topic and conversation structure, not from a single speaker's voice, so multi-guest formats work the same way.

    How long does processing take for a long episode?

    A two hour episode typically returns numbered chapters and rendered overlays well within the time it would take to draft even one title by hand.

    Can the overlay design be customised?

    The overlay style is templated to stay clean and legible on any footage. Custom brand treatments are something I build case by case, get in touch if that's what you need.
