How to turn a podcast episode into YouTube Shorts

2026-10-29 · 6 min read

One hour-long episode usually contains 10–20 moments that work as standalone shorts: a strong opinion, a story with a punchline, a clear answer to a question.

What makes a good podcast short

A good short starts with a hook in the first two seconds, makes one complete point and ends cleanly. Avoid clips that need context from earlier in the episode.

Framing two or more people

If your podcast has two hosts, you can either follow whoever is speaking or show both people stacked on top of each other. In Clipuno, open Layout → People, detect the people in the frame and click who should appear. Layouts for 2, 3 and 4 people are available.

Captions

Most people watch shorts without sound. Word-by-word captions with highlighted keywords keep viewers reading — and watching.

Pick your best 7–14 clips, connect your channels and schedule them over the week. AI writes a title, description and hashtags for each platform.
