AI-powered clip maker for transforming podcasts
AI-powered highlight detection for short clips
Skip hours of scrubbing through a timeline. HeyGen's Video Agent and advanced AI technology analyze your podcast, assess speech and pacing, and identify the strongest moments using the AI clip generator. You get share-ready clips from your podcast, each one a complete video highlight.
Captions and transcription to engage viewers
Most social clips play on mute, so on-screen text is what keeps viewers watching. Accurate transcription turns speech into automatically timed captions in the AI Studio editor, and the built-in subtitle generator lets you customize fonts, colours, and layout to engage viewers on any social media platform.
Video editing features for scroll-stopping clips
Stop re-recording a take to fix a few stumbles. With one click, AI-powered Speech Cleanup removes filler words, pauses, false starts, and retakes, then HeyGen's AI video editor stitches segments together with seamless transitions. The result is a high-quality, flawless take with no jump cuts. Review each clip in AI Studio, customize caption styles, apply your brand kit, and prepare vertical, square, or widescreen versions for each channel.
Audiogram, reel, and short-form video clips
A widescreen clip falls flat in a vertical feed. Each clip is automatically reframed as short-form video using a reel generator for Instagram Reels, TikTok shorts, and square posts, plus an audiogram for audio or video shows. One upload looks native across major video platforms.
Transform podcast audio into more than 177 languages
One podcast can reach far beyond its original audience. Transform any clip into more than 177 languages with accurate lip-sync and voice cloning that preserves your tone, or use audio-only AI dubbing for a quicker turnaround. Publish high-quality video content in every market and attract new listeners without re-recording.

Podcasters repurpose long-form episodes
Editing a long-form episode by hand can take an entire day. Repurpose each podcast episode in minutes and turn it into engaging clips ready for YouTube Shorts, while maintaining a consistent posting schedule across every show.
Create social media clips that go viral
Keeping every channel supplied with content is relentless. Create social media clips from a single interview, publish attention-grabbing clips, and create viral content across social media, then queue them as TikTok video posts to keep your feed full.
Transform podcast content into video clips
Long lectures and episodes can quickly lose listeners. Turn your podcast into bite-sized snippets, transform a recorded session into a short educational video, and give your audience focused clips they can revisit anytime.
Media clips for your podcast demos
Buyers rarely watch an entire webinar or video podcast. Clip the moment a feature resonates, pair it with a product demo video, and share clips from your podcast across email, ads, and landing pages.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Can an AI podcast clip remove filler words from podcast audio without creating choppy cuts?
Yes. Speech Cleanup detects filler words, long pauses, false starts, and retakes, then uses invisible transitions to bridge the gaps seamlessly. HeyGen's video editing features let you review each edit, so the final clip sounds smooth and looks like a clean, single take.
Do I have to appear 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 more than 1,100 avatars and Avatar IV, you can create content without a camera and keep posting even during weeks when you don't film.
Can I turn an audio-only podcast into video clips or audiograms?
Yes. Upload an audio-only episode, and HeyGen can turn selected highlights into video clips or audiograms with captions and visuals, ready for you to review and export to social media.
Can I turn one episode into clips in other languages?
Yes. HeyGen supports more than 177 languages, so you can clip one recording and localize it with accurate AI lip-sync while preserving the original voice tone. It's a quick way to expand your podcast's reach and attract new listeners worldwide without re-recording.
Why use HeyGen rather than 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 maximize your podcast's output.
Is the AI podcast clip maker free?
Yes. HeyGen offers a Free plan with no credit card required, so you can try the podcast clip maker at no cost. For current paid-plan features and limits, see HeyGen pricing at https://www.heygen.com/pricing.

Review the clip in AI Studio, then apply your logo, colours, fonts, intro, and outro using a brand kit. Export a vertical version for Instagram, or choose square or widescreen for other channels.
Can I create Instagram clips from a webinar or video?
Yes. Upload a long webinar, interview, or screen recording, or paste a link. HeyGen identifies highlights and turns them into short, captioned clips that you can review and export to Instagram or other channels.
How can I create engaging podcast clips for Instagram?
Upload your recording or paste a link, then let HeyGen identify the highlights. Review the clips in AI Studio, adjust captions and branding, and export a vertical version for Instagram.
