1. Record with clips in mind
You don't need to change your show, just a few habits:
- Answer in full sentences. A clip that opens with "Yes, exactly" makes no sense on its own. Veda looks for the end of a sentence or a natural pause near each cut, so complete sentences give it clean places to cut.
- Restate the question in the answer. "The biggest mistake new founders make is..." works as a standalone clip; "That one, definitely" doesn't.
- Keep faces visible. If you choose the 9:16 format, Veda crops in and follows faces, so a clear view of the speaker helps.
2. Run the episode through Veda
Upload the episode video to Veda. Choose a caption language and a clip length. If you're trying the Free plan, which takes videos up to 20 minutes, use a 20-minute section of the episode.
Veda finds moments two ways: an AI reads the transcript for strong passages, and the video is scanned for loudness, motion and speech pace. It removes overlapping picks, moves each cut to a sentence end or natural pause where one is close by, fits clips to a vertical frame and burns in captions.
3. Choose lengths for different jobs
- About 30 to 40 seconds for a single sharp line or opinion.
- About 60 to 90 seconds for a short story or an explanation with a payoff.
- Auto if you'd rather let Veda decide per moment.
4. Pick the week's clips
Every clip gets a score from 0 to 100. Start with the highest scores, watch each one, and pick the clips that make sense to someone who's never heard your show. Trim any that start late or run long.
5. Post one a day
- Post one clip a day rather than all of them at once.
- Put the guest's name and the topic in the post text.
- Point to the full episode in your bio, description or a pinned comment.
- Use the same clip on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and WhatsApp; they're all MP4.
Bilingual podcasts
If you and your guests switch between Hindi, Kannada, Tamil or another Indian language and English, Veda transcribes the mix and captions every clip in one language you choose. See how to caption mixed-language videos, or read more about podcast to Shorts with Veda.
