Automatically repurpose your podcast in a click 
Turn a voice note into written content A YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom or Loom link, an RSS feed, or an upload from your drive. Castmagic pulls the recording in and transcribes it with speaker labels.
Start from the moments Castmagic flags, or scroll the transcript and highlight any stretch. The clip is cut where the words are, not where the scrubber lands.
Karaoke captions with the active word lit, in your caption style. Choose 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 and the framing follows.
Download the clip. The transcript has already drafted the post that goes with it, and a carousel if you want one.
Studio transcribes the video and flags the moments that stand alone: a hook, a story, a takeaway. Pick one and the clip is cut where the sentence starts and ends, not where a scrubber landed, with karaoke captions already stamped on. Or highlight any stretch of the transcript yourself.
Find your moments
A webinar, a lecture or a livestream replay holds more clips than anyone cuts by hand. Pick the ones worth posting, each with its own caption and duration, at 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts or 16:9 for YouTube and LinkedIn. The transcript stays, so the next batch is a click away.
Cut your first batch Every clip comes from a transcript that has already drafted the recap, the LinkedIn post and a swipeable carousel of the same point. One recording becomes the clip and everything that goes around it, without a second tool.
See what else it drafts A webinar where the camera was off, a call, a voice memo: the moment becomes an audiogram, a waveform video with the same karaoke captions, in the same aspect ratios. It posts wherever a video clip does.
Make an audiogram Hire for the job you're about to have.
A YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom or Loom link, an RSS feed, or an upload from your drive. Castmagic pulls the recording in, transcribes it, and opens Studio with the moments flagged.
