Podcast clips on Spotify seem to be part of the arms race when it comes to vertical short-form video. LinkedIn has added vertical video, and, of course, TikTok and Instagram have had them. Even Amazon product videos can be vertical too.

So here’s how they work on Spotify. These are short clips that podcasters can add to their video podcasts on Spotify. Presumably, they will be shown in high-traffic areas on Spotify and will make podcast discovery easier for listeners.

I love it, and I already create these videos anyway, so it’s really just another place to put them. So, let me show you my workflow.

6 steps to create podcast clips on Spotify

Firstly, I grab either the video file from the episode or the YouTube link and head on over to Opus Clips. Opus Clips is an AI-powered platform that cuts up long-form video to shorter form clips – like the ones you can put on Spotify.

Once in Opus, go into  clip and edit the text to get the content that you want. Other editing options are also available. I usually just stick with picking the right format and then edit the copy. Big fan of text-based video editing here!

Here’s how that looks:

I can even add other text that was said before and after and edit out words.

Save the video and download it. Once downloaded, go to your Spotify for Creators account and:

• Go to episodes
• Click on the three dots to the right of the episode
• Then upload a clip.

Here’s how that next screen looks:

And then here’s how the final upload looks:

The thing to remember is that this upload won’t work until AFTER the episode has been published. So, publish your episode, then head over to the EPISODE section, click on the dots and add your clip.

Definitely worth trying if you have a video podcast and/or live stream it.

As far as I can tell you can upload one clip for now.
