Original request: “Convert podcast episodes into YouTube Shorts with AI voiceover intros”
Upload your podcast episode to Descript and use its AI transcription to identify the most engaging 15-60 second segments. Export these clips as video files with automatic captions embedded, removing filler words for tighter pacing.
Pro tip: Mark multiple potential clips per episode—you'll get 3-5 YouTube Shorts per podcast, multiplying your content output without extra recording.
Create a compelling hook script (2-3 sentences) and input it into ElevenLabs to generate an ultra-realistic AI voiceover in your chosen voice and language. Download the MP3 and adjust tone/pacing to match your podcast's energy.
Pro tip: Use ElevenLabs voice cloning to create a signature intro voice that becomes recognizable across all your Shorts—builds brand consistency.
Open Kapwing's editor, layer your Descript clip + ElevenLabs voiceover intro, add auto-generated captions, apply trending transitions, and export in 9:16 vertical format. Publish directly to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels in one go.
Pro tip: Kapwing's AI repurposing feature can auto-resize your horizontal podcast clips to vertical in seconds—save 5+ minutes per Short.
