Generative Video for Podcasts: The Ultimate Workflow

How to Create Generative Video for Podcasts

01
Record or import your footage
Bring in your podcast video—or record directly in Descript. Use any mic and camera setup you already have; no fancy studio needed. If you’re working with multiple speakers, simply assign names so Descript can sync each clip automatically. From there, AI takes care of the rest.
02
Smooth out awkward spots with Regenerate
Skip the re-record. Just highlight any flub or awkward pause and let Regenerate do the work. It fixes jumpy edits, awkward cuts, and rough transitions automatically—keeping your podcast video flowing naturally. If something needs rewriting, tweak the text first, then let AI fill in the audio so everything sounds seamless.
03
Arrange, finalize, and share
Add visuals, overlays, or B-roll to bring your podcast video to life. Want to switch camera angles or add a scene break? Just mark the script where you want the change—Descript handles the layout automatically. When everything looks good, export or publish your Generative video for Podcasts directly to your audience.
