# AI Podcast Clips Generator

Cut a podcast episode into short, captioned clips to promote it on social media.

Exemplary AI turns a podcast episode into short clips for social media. Upload the episode (10 minutes or longer) or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link, choose the "Podcast" category, and AI Clips picks the moments that stand on their own. Video episodes become framed, captioned clips; audio-only episodes become audiograms, with a waveform, captions and a background.

## How to make clips from a podcast

1. Upload the episode (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, WEBM, MOV or MKV) or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link.
2. Set the language, a clip duration and the "Podcast" video category, and add keywords for the topics you want clipped.
3. Review the clips by virality score. For a two-person video podcast, try the split layout so both hosts are on screen.
4. Export each clip as an MP4 and post it where your audience is.

## Why Use Exemplary's AI Podcast Clip Generator?

One episode becomes a set of promo clips: the best moments picked, captioned and sized for each platform.

### Moments picked from the conversation

AI reads the transcript and picks passages that make sense on their own, then gives each clip a virality score.

### Layouts for one host or several

Speaker framing follows whoever is talking; split layouts show two, three or four people at once.

### Audiograms for audio-only shows

No video? Clips become audiograms with a waveform, captions and your background image or colour.

## Tools that work on the same file

You have already uploaded it. These run on the same transcript, so there is nothing to redo.

## Common questions

### Can I make clips from an audio-only podcast?

Yes. Upload the MP3, WAV or M4A file and the clips come out as audiograms: a waveform in one of 10 styles, captions, and a colour or image background.

### How long does a podcast episode have to be?

At least 10 minutes. Free: files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; Pro: files up to 2 GB and 4 hours long; Creator: files up to 4 GB and 8 hours long; Studio: files up to 10 GB and Unlimited long.

### How do I show both hosts in a podcast clip?

Use a split layout. Split shows two people, and 3 Split and 4 Split show three or four, in portrait and landscape clips.

### How are podcast moments chosen?

Choose the "Podcast" video category and, if you like, keywords for the topics you care about. AI then picks passages from the transcript that stand on their own and scores each one for virality.

### Which sizes can I export podcast clips in?

9:16 (portrait), 1:1 (square) and 16:9 (landscape). Use 9:16 for vertical Reels, Shorts and TikTok, and 1:1 for square feed posts. YouTube counts a video as a Short only if it is square or vertical and up to 3 minutes long.

### Is the AI podcast clips generator free?

Yes. The Free plan includes 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. AI Clips and audiogram tasks use credits, so the amount you can create depends on the tasks you run.
