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.

  • 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.

Turn the best minute of this podcast into a video: <URL or attached audio>. <Topic to look for>. <Visual treatment>. <Length, orientation>.

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.

  1. Fetch the source — Popcorn can download from YouTube, Spotify (where allowed), Apple Podcasts via RSS, and most podcast hosts.
  2. Transcribe and analyze the audio to find the strongest segment for your brief.
  3. Create a visual treatment — could be the original video (if it’s a video podcast), illustrated talking heads, B-roll, or a static cover.
  4. Burn in animated captions if requested.
  5. 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.

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.
