Podcast → Video
Podcasts are full of gold moments buried in long-form audio. Popcorn pulls a clip and dresses it up — visuals, captions, framing — so it actually performs as a Short.
When to use this
Section titled “When to use this”- You have a long podcast episode and want shorts for promotion.
- A guest said something that deserves to break out of the episode.
- You want a podcast-to-video pipeline for a recurring show.
Prompt pattern
Section titled “Prompt pattern”Turn the best minute of this podcast into a video:
<URL or attached audio>.<Topic to look for>.<Visual treatment>.<Length, orientation>.
Examples
Section titled “Examples”Turn the best minute of this podcast into a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXX. Look for the most provocative claim. Vertical, 60 seconds, big animated captions, podcast cover image as backdrop.
Pull the funniest moment from the attached audio and make it a 30-second clip. Treat it like a TikTok — face cam style with the hosts shown as illustrated characters.
What Popp will do
Section titled “What Popp will do”- Fetch the source — Popcorn can download from YouTube, Spotify (where allowed), Apple Podcasts via RSS, and most podcast hosts.
- Transcribe and analyze the audio to find the strongest segment for your brief.
- Create a visual treatment — could be the original video (if it’s a video podcast), illustrated talking heads, B-roll, or a static cover.
- Burn in animated captions if requested.
- Compose the final clip.
- Tell Popp what to look for. “the funniest moment”, “the most contrarian take”, “the segment about pricing”.
- Captions almost always help. Most podcast clips are watched without sound at first.
- Reuse the same treatment across episodes. If you’re building a podcast-clip channel, lock in the look once and have a Channel auto-produce new clips on a schedule.
Specifying an exact range
Section titled “Specifying an exact range”If you already know what minute you want:
Use the segment from 12:30 to 13:30 of
<URL>. Vertical, captions on every line.
Popp will use the exact range and skip the search step.
