Where to start with a 3-hour podcast? Do I chunk it first?

Everyone's raving about Opus Clip for short-form, but has anyone actually tried feeding it a full-length podcast?

The obvious problem: Opus has a 90-minute *upload* limit. So you're forced to chop it up first. This introduces a new layer of hassle and potential cost.

* What tool are you using to split the 3-hour file? Audacity? Another SaaS?
* Are you manually finding "natural" break points, or just doing arbitrary 60-minute chunks?
* Most importantly: does Opus's AI context window get completely lost at the seams? You'll likely get clips that start or end mid-thought.

Then, the pricing hit. Processing 3 hours of audio, even in chunks, will burn through your credit pool. That "unlimited" plan isn't so unlimited when you read the fine print on audio length.

So, before I waste a weekend: has anyone built a reliable workflow for this, or is Opus simply the wrong tool for long-form content?
