Why Do Podcasts Need Video?
YouTube is the top podcast discovery platform. Video content generates more engagement, shares, and subscriber growth than audio alone. Visual elements keep viewers engaged longer.
Social media algorithms favor video content, making video clips essential for podcast promotion.
What Does Podcast Video Editing Include?
Standard editing includes: multi-camera syncing and switching, color correction and consistency, lower thirds with speaker names, intro and outro sequences, background music mixing, and export optimization for each platform.
Additional services include B-roll integration, custom graphics, and animated elements.
How Are Social Clips Created?
Social clips extract compelling 30-90 second moments optimized for each platform. This includes vertical formatting for TikTok/Reels/Shorts, captions burned in, eye-catching graphics, and platform-specific aspect ratios.
Most services deliver 3-5 clips per episode alongside the full video.
What Equipment Setup Works Best?
Minimum setup is one camera capturing both speakers. Better results come from individual cameras per speaker plus a wide shot. Editors work with whatever footage you provide, though better source material yields better results.
Many services advise on recording setup improvements at no extra cost.
How Much Does Podcast Video Editing Cost?
Basic editing (single camera, simple cuts) costs GBP 75-150 per episode. Standard editing (multi-camera, graphics, social clips) ranges GBP 150-250. Premium editing with animations and extensive graphics reaches GBP 250-400+.
Monthly retainers offer better value for regular podcasters.
