How can I generate 'podcast highlight' clips (audiograms) as videos?

Creating 'Podcast Highlight' (Audiogram) Videos with Invideo

Meta Description:

A 2025 guide on how to use Invideo to turn your podcast audio clips into shareable video audiograms with animated captions and visuals.

Why This Use Case Matters in 2025

Your podcast is an audio file, but social media (LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram) is a video platform. An "audiogram" (a video with your audio, a thumbnail, and captions) is the #1 way to promote your show. Manually transcribing, captioning, and animating this is tedious. As of late 2025, Invideo can automate this entire workflow.

How Invideo Simplifies 'Audiogram' Creation

Invideo's platform is designed to build a video from an audio file.

Audio-to-Video Workflow

This is a specific workflow. You upload your audio clip (e.g., a 60-second MP3 highlight from your podcast). The AI will use this audio as the foundation for the video.

AI-Generated Visuals

After you upload your audio, Invideo will:

  1. Transcribe the audio and create animated, word-by-word captions.
  2. Allow you to upload your podcast cover art or a guest's headshot to use as the background.
  3. Generate new, original video clips that match what's being said in the audio, turning your audiogram into a dynamic video.

Intuitive Refinement (Text-Based Editing)

After the first draft, you can use simple text commands: "Make the captions yellow and bold," "Change the background to an AI-generated 'recording studio,'" or "Upload my podcast logo and add it to the corner."

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Upload Your Audio & Cover Art

Export a 30-60 second MP3 clip of your podcast's best moment. Upload it, along with your podcast cover art.

Step 2: Write the Prompt

Describe the audiogram you want.

  • Example Prompt: "Create a 60-second 'podcast audiogram' video for Instagram. 'I am uploading an audio file' and 'my 'podcast cover art.' 'Use 'my 'cover 'art 'as 'the 'background. 'Transcribe 'the 'audio''and 'create 'animated 'captions.' 'Generate 'clips 'that 'match 'the 'audio's 'topic. 'Use 'a 'dynamic 'waveform' 'visual."

Step 3: Refine with Text Commands

Use simple text commands to polish the video.

  • "Make the captions easier to read."
  • "Change the background to a simple black color."
  • "Add a text overlay: 'New Episode Out Now!'"

Comparison: Traditional Workflow vs. Invideo

| Factor | Traditional Method | Invideo (2025) |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| Timeline | 30-60 minutes (manually transcribing, animating captions, etc.) | 5-10 minutes (upload, generate, refine) |

| Cost | High (editor's time or specialized software) | Low (fixed subscription cost) |

| Skill Requirement | Professional (After Effects or audiogram tool) | Accessible for any podcaster (prompt-based) |

| Revisions | Tedious; a typo in the captions is a re-render | Instant; just edit the text |

Expert Tips for Better Results

  • Upload Your Audio: This is the essential first step. The entire video is built around your audio file.
  • Upload Your Cover Art: This is your branding. Upload your podcast logo or cover art to be the main visual.
  • Check the Captions: The AI's transcription is very accurate, but you should always read through the captions it generates to fix any misspelled names or jargon.
