Key features

AI-powered clip maker to transform your podcasts

AI-powered highlight detection for short videos

Skip hours of scrubbing through a timeline. HeyGen's Video Agent and advanced AI technology analyzes your podcast, reads speech and pacing, and the clip generator identifies the strongest moments of your podcast using AI. You get share-ready clips from parts of your podcast, each a complete video highlight.

Caption and transcription to captivate viewers

Most social clips play on mute, so on-screen text is what keeps viewers watching. Accurate transcription turns speech into auto-timed captions in the AI Studio editor, and the built-in subtitle generator lets you restyle fonts, colours, and layout to captivate viewers on any social media platform.

How it works

How an AI podcast clip generator works

Go from a full podcast recording to polished, ready-to-post clips in four simple steps, with no manual editing required.

Step 1

Upload your episode

AI scans the full episode, analyses speech and pacing, and surfaces the strongest moments as clips.

Step 3

Clean up and caption

Speech Cleanup removes filler words, pauses, and false starts, then captions are added for you.

Step 4

Export and share

Export each clip in vertical, square, or widescreen format, ready to post on any social channel.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can an AI podcast clip remove filler words from podcast audio without making the edits sound choppy?

Yes. Speech Cleanup detects filler words, long pauses, false starts, and retakes, then uses invisible transitions to bridge the gaps smoothly. HeyGen's video editing features let you review each edit, so the final clip sounds natural and looks like a clean single take.

Do I need to be on camera to create podcast clips?

No. You can create podcast clips from an existing recording, or produce a faceless video version with captions, b-roll, and AI visuals. With 1,100+ avatars and Avatar IV, you can create content without a camera and keep posting even in weeks when you don’t film.

Can I upload audio or video and still create video clips?

Yes. Upload your podcast audio and the system turns each highlight into a video clip or audiogram with captions and visuals. You can add narration with AI voice cloning that matches your voice from 300+ options, so an audio-first show still produces a polished video file.

Can I turn one episode into clips in other languages?

Yes. HeyGen supports 175+ languages, so you can clip one recording and localise it with accurate AI lip-sync and preserved voice tone. It’s a fast way to expand your podcast’s reach and attract new listeners worldwide without re-recording.

Why use HeyGen instead of a basic podcast clipping app?

Most clipping apps stop at trimming. Beyond highlights, you get Speech Cleanup, branded captions, avatars, and translation in one text to video platform used by OpenAI, Shopify, and HubSpot. It helps you streamline your podcast production process and maximise your podcast's output.

Is the AI podcast clip generator free, and what do paid plans include?

Yes, HeyGen offers a free plan with no credit card needed, so you can try it free and make a free podcast clip to test the format. Paid plans from $24 per month unlock longer episodes, more clips, and full access to the AI video generator.

How do I export clips for Instagram with my own branding?

Yes. Apply your logo, colours, fonts, and intro and outro with brand kits to create engaging content that matches your show. You can even swap a presenter's look with AI face swap to keep visuals consistent across a series, from the first clip to the last.

Can I create clips for Instagram from a webinar or video?

Yes. The tool works with any long recording, including webinars, interviews, and screen shares. Paste a link or upload a file, add a branded intro using a script-to-video flow, then turn your talk into short, captioned clips for any channel.

How do I create engaging podcast clips for Instagram?

Upload your recording and HeyGen surfaces the highlights, so you can create engaging podcast clips and produce clips for Instagram in minutes. Add captions and branding in the AI Studio editor, then publish podcast clips effortlessly without any manual editing.
