Headliner Expands YouTube Offerings, Adding New YouTube Video Clips Automation
Headliner, the podcast growth platform used by over 1.5 million creators, today announced the launch of YouTube Video Clips Automation, a new automation that takes Headliner’s existing video clipping tools and makes them fully hands-off. Quickly point Headliner to a YouTube Podcast Playlist and automatically repurpose videos for social media and YouTube Shorts continuously.
This launch takes the existing manual video clipping and offers an automated version as Headliner continues to ramp support for video podcasters.
“Automatic Audiograms proved that automation is what actually keeps a show growing long-term. We worked with YouTube to help get tens of thousands of audio podcasts and stay current with no additional work. This new YouTube Video Clips Automation brings that same thinking to video podcasts. It’s the first step towards creating fully automated systems for podcast growth and discovery with video,” said Neil Mody, CEO of Headliner.
YouTube Video Clips Automation is currently free to use. To create a video automation with Headliner, visit make.headliner.app.
Why Automation Matters
Making a podcast is the fun part. But promotion is the necessary ‘evil’ of growth. In today’s online world, everything feels like it requires video. Every new release needs clips, social posts, and a way to really capture attention, fast.
In a recent survey, 83% of podcasters report uploading video to YouTube. But again, that is just one piece of the growth puzzle. After that initial upload, more content needs to be created to support growth and discovery, not just on YouTube.
Headliner’s YouTube Automation takes that job off the list. Connect a YouTube Podcast Playlist, and Headliner starts clipping immediately: everything already sitting in the back catalog, and every new episode the moment it’s uploaded. Clips get captioned, styled, and posted everywhere the show lives, YouTube included, without anyone exporting a file, opening an editor, or remembering to hit publish.
It’s a pattern Headliner has seen play out again and again: shows that automate the busywork keep creating, while shows that don’t tend to slow down or stop. The result is a podcast that promotes itself, so the only thing left to focus on is making the next great episode.
