Podcast to clip

ViewMade priced its Starter plan at $29 per month for 50 renders as of the 22 August 2026 measurement, which works out to $0.58 per finished Short. If you arrived here holding a podcast on YouTube and expecting a clipper, read the next two sections carefully before you pay for anything.

What you actually give it

You give it a topic. Type the subject of the episode, the case, the event, or the question you want covered. ViewMade accepts that input directly: no bridge step, no intermediate tool, no manual transcript export. It researches the topic, writes the script, sources real footage, and renders a finished vertical video.

It does not take your existing podcast file and slice it into moments. If your goal is to cut three highlights out of a 90-minute conversation you already recorded, a clipping tool such as Opus Clip fits that job better. ViewMade answers a different request: turn a subject into a sourced, narrated documentary Short. Both are legitimate. They are not the same product, and this page will not pretend otherwise.

The three steps

1. Enter the topic you want the Short to cover.
2. Review the generated script.
3. Render and download the finished package.

What comes back

Each render returns a 1080x1920 vertical video with subtitles burned into the image, selectable across 7 caption styles. Voiceover is available in 5 languages, and the interface itself runs in 7: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. The download includes a title, description, and tags ready for publishing, background music, and the footage itself: licensed real imagery, not generated frames. Every render ships with a media credits file naming the source of each clip.

Limits

Output is fixed at 1080x1920 vertical. Voiceover covers 5 languages; if your audience needs narration outside those, the tool will not supply it. Footage comes from real archives, maps, and charts, so topics with thin visual records produce thinner videos than well-documented ones. There is no free tier and no signup credit: production starts only after payment succeeds. The Starter plan has no annual option, monthly billing only. And the core limit worth repeating: this converts a topic into a documentary, not a recording into excerpts.

What it costs

Starter costs $29 per month and includes 50 renders per month, which is $0.58 per Short. It is monthly billing only, with no yearly plan.

Pro costs $59 billed monthly, or $29.50 per month equivalent on the annual plan at $354 per year, a 50 percent discount. Pro includes 150 renders per month at $0.20 per Short, plus 10 AI children's videos per month, priority render queue, and API and MCP access.

Agency pricing is custom. There is no free tier and no registration credit.

For comparison within the measured set: Opus Clip lists a Free tier plus Starter at $15 and Pro at $29 per month, measured 23 August 2026 from opus.pro/pricing. Revid's entry Hobby plan lists at $39 per month on the same date. Crayo's published rates, $13 to $55 per month, apply to annual billing only.

Frequently asked questions

Does it read my podcast on YouTube directly?

It can connect to YouTube with read-only scope only. After import, the access token is discarded and no refresh token is stored. It cannot upload, edit, delete, or comment on your channel. What it does with that access is pull context on the topic, not cut your episode into clips.

Will it reframe my long video to 9:16?

No. Reframing supplied footage is a clipper's job. ViewMade renders its own 1080x1920 output from sourced material.

Is the footage AI-generated?

No. Visuals come from real archives, maps, and graphs, and each render includes a credits file listing every clip's source.

Can I publish straight from the tool?

No. You download the package, which includes title, description, tags, thumbnail, and the video file, then upload it yourself.
