What is it?

An AI tool that turns podcast episodes into short video clips.

LumiClip is an AI clip maker built for podcasters. You give it a podcast episode — audio (MP3) or video (MP4) — and it returns vertical short-form video clips ready to post on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Each clip includes word-level captions, an animated waveform (for audio-only episodes), your podcast cover art, and your brand colors.

It exists because Spotify and Apple Podcasts have no discovery feed — listener growth happens on visual social platforms, and audio-only podcasts can't be posted there directly. LumiClip is the bridge: audio in, share-ready video clips out, in minutes.

How does it work?

Three steps from podcast episode to posted clip.

Upload the episode, let the AI pick the best moments, export styled vertical clips for every platform.

  1. 1. Add your podcast episode

    Paste an episode URL from Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or Riverside, or upload an MP3 or MP4 file. Audio-only and video podcasts use the same pipeline.

  2. 2. AI picks the best soundbites

    LumiClip listens through the full episode and surfaces hooks, hot takes, story beats, and quotable lines — the moments worth clipping — in seconds, not hours.

  3. 3. Export styled vertical clips

    Each soundbite is rendered as a 9:16 video with animated waveform, word-level captions, your cover art, and brand colors — sized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

What does it do?

Features included with LumiClip for podcasters.

Everything needed to take audio-only or video podcast episodes and turn them into short-form video clips that perform on visual feeds.

Automatic soundbite detection

AI listens through the full episode and surfaces the moments worth clipping — punchy takes, story turns, quotable lines — so you stop scrubbing through hours of audio.

Dynamic captions for audio-only podcasts

Word-level animated captions tuned for sound-off feeds. Names, brands, and industry terms are transcribed accurately, with an inline editor for any tweaks.

Visual templates for podcast clips

Animated waveforms, episode cover art, host avatars, guest lower thirds — drop your branding in once and every clip ships looking like a podcast network produced it.

One-click export to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts

Export presets sized for every visual feed where podcast audiences live, or push finished clips straight to your social accounts on a publishing schedule.

Why use it?

Reach new listeners, save editing hours, post more often.

LumiClip turns every episode you've already published into a permanent listener-acquisition channel — without you opening an editor or paying a freelancer.

10x
More clips per episode

One 60-minute episode becomes 10+ visual clips ready to post — enough to fuel a full week of social distribution from a single recording session.

New
Listeners from outside Spotify and Apple

Visual clips put your podcast in front of viewers who'd never search for it on Spotify. Every share is a discovery moment for someone who's never heard of you.

Hours
Saved per episode

What was an evening of scrubbing audio, rendering waveforms, and exporting platform-sized files is now done by the time you finish your post-record coffee.

Who is it for?

Built for podcasters who grow on visual feeds.

LumiClip is designed for podcast formats and growth strategies that depend on short-form video for discovery.

Independent podcasters

Interview podcast hosts

Two-camera or audio interviews where the best soundbites come from guests — clipped, captioned, and branded automatically.

Video podcast producers

Riverside, Squadcast, and Zoom-recorded video podcasts repurposed into vertical clips with face-tracked framing.

Audio-only podcasters

MP3-only podcasts that need a visual format to post on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts — animated waveform and cover art included.

Company podcasts using clips for LinkedIn, demand-gen, and sales enablement — on-brand by default.

Audio-only interview episode with a guest expert, three big topic blocks, and several quotable takes worth pulling out for promotion.

LumiClip output

8 visual clips ready to publish

Each soundbite rendered as a vertical clip with the host and guest's photos as a split layout, animated waveform reacting to the audio, and word-level captions burned in — branded with your podcast's color palette and logo.

45-minute solo show

A solo podcast episode walking through one big idea, with a strong hook, three supporting points, and a story-driven close.

LumiClip output
