An AI podcast clip generator transforms lengthy episodes into short, shareable clips within minutes. Upload your recording, allow AI to identify the best moments, and receive captioned clips ready to post on any platform.
AI-powered clip maker for transforming podcasts
AI-powered highlight detection for short-form clips
Skip hours of scrubbing through a timeline. HeyGen's Video Agent and advanced AI technology analyse your podcast, assess speech and pacing, and the clip generator uses AI to identify the most compelling moments. You get ready-to-share clips from your podcast, each a complete video highlight.
Captions and transcription to engage viewers
Most social clips play on mute, so on-screen text is what keeps viewers engaged. Accurate transcription converts speech into automatically timed captions in the AI Studio editor, while the built-in subtitle generator lets you customise fonts, colours and layouts to engage viewers across any social media platform.
Video editing features for scroll-stopping clips
Stop re-recording a take just to fix a few stumbles. With one click, AI-powered Speech Cleanup removes filler words, pauses, false starts and retakes, and then HeyGen's AI video editor seamlessly joins the segments with invisible transitions. The result is a high-quality, flawless take without any jump cuts. Review each clip in AI Studio, restyle captions, apply your brand kit and prepare vertical, square or widescreen versions for every channel.
Audiograms, reels and short-form video clips
A widescreen clip loses impact in a vertical feed. Each clip is automatically reframed into a short-form video using a reel generator for Instagram Reels, TikTok Shorts and square posts, along with an audiogram for audio or video shows. A single upload looks native across leading video platforms.
Transform podcast audio into over 177 languages
A single podcast can reach audiences far beyond the original. Transform any clip into over 177 languages with accurate lip-sync and voice cloning that preserves your tone, or use audio-only AI dubbing for quicker turnaround. Publish high-quality video content across markets and attract new listeners without recording again.
Use cases
Editing a long-form episode manually 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 all your shows.
Keeping every channel active is relentless. Create social media clips from a single interview, publish attention-grabbing content, and produce viral clips across platforms. Then, queue them as TikTok video posts to keep your feed full.
Long lectures and episodes can quickly lose listeners. Convert your podcast into bite-sized snippets, transform a recorded session into a short educational video, and offer your audience focused clips they can revisit at any time.
Buyers rarely watch an entire webinar or video podcast. Clip the moment a feature makes an impact, pair it with a product demo video, and share media clips from your podcast across emails, advertisements, and landing pages.
Client requests pile up faster than editors can deliver. This clip maker generates polished clips from every recording, enables teams to choose from a range of layouts and brand kits, and seamlessly incorporates them into marketing videos for each account.
Few employees rewatch an hour-long all-hands meeting. Turn your podcast and its episodes into shareable clips, add them to a training video library, and keep distributed teams aligned within minutes.
