The challenge
A podcast episode is long, static and easy to scroll past. The teaser has to earn attention in the first seconds on a feed where nothing is playing with sound on.
What I did
Cut for the hook first, then let the substance follow, so the opening frames do the work of persuading someone to stay.
The work
A vertical teaser edited from long-form episode footage, with pacing, captions and sound design built for feed placement rather than for a podcast player.
Stack: Short-form video editing, podcast repurposing, captioning
Podcast teaser edit
Asset: vertical podcast teaser delivered for social distribution
Format: captioned and cut for sound-off viewing
Source: repurposed from existing long-form episode footage
A teaser is not a summary. Its only job is to buy the next few seconds of attention.
