The AI Podcast Reel Workflow

A podcast-style reel with an AI version of you at a podcast desk — scripted, generated and fully edited.

How I made a ~50 second podcast-style reel with an AI avatar of me at a podcast desk: a script, five avatar clips, three B-roll shots and one reference reel. Claude Code turns them into a fully edited reel with kinetic captions, motion graphics, music and sound effects. Five steps, in order, with the exact prompts.

What you'll learn

• Write a 50-second podcast script and cut it into 10-second clips
• Build one baseline podcast set image so every clip matches
• Generate 5 avatar clips and 3 B-roll shots in Google Flow
• Pick one reference reel whose editing style you want to copy
• Let Claude Code do the full edit: captions, cards, music and sound
• Use two-size kinetic captions synced to every word
• Keep all text inside the Reels safe zone
• Avoid the mistakes that make clips jump or avatars rush
