Animations for podcasters
Guest intros, pull quotes, chapter markers, audiograms and sponsor slates, for the video feed and for the clips account.
In short
CaliberVisual gives podcasters the on-screen pieces a show needs once it has a video feed or a clips account: guest intros, pull quotes, chapter markers, an audiogram for audio-only cuts, and a sponsor slate. You edit the text in your browser, apply your show's colours and typeface, and export MP4 for the feed or a transparent MOV to sit over camera footage. One episode's worth of graphics takes minutes rather than an afternoon in a motion project.

What podcasters put on screen
Turn audio into something a feed stops for
The hardest part of promoting a podcast is that the good bit is a sound. These give a two-minute clip a shape on screen, so it survives a silent autoplay in somebody's timeline.
Introduce the guest properly
Name, title, what they are known for, on screen while you say it rather than only in the show notes. A guest is far more likely to share a clip that spells their credit correctly.
Give the episode structure
Chapters and topic cards make a ninety-minute conversation navigable, and they give you something to cut against when you pull the episode apart for clips.
Sponsors, links and merch
The read is the part that pays for the show. A designed slate with the code on it is worth more to a sponsor than the same words spoken over a static frame, and it makes the renewal conversation easier.
Ask for the follow at the end
One ask, at the end, where a listener who made it that far is most likely to act. Plus the credits, which are also where you thank the people who made the episode.
How to make an audiogram for a podcast clip
- 01
Open the audiogram or quote card
Pick the frame that fits the clip: a waveform for a snippet, a pull quote for a line worth reading, an episode card for the full show.
- 02
Add the episode and guest details
Type in the show name, episode title and guest, then apply your show's brand kit so every clip in the account matches.
- 03
Export and lay your audio under it
Export MP4 at the shape you are posting to, then drop your audio beneath it in any editor and publish the clip.
How these land in your workflow
- Three shapes per episode16:9 for the full episode, 9:16 for the clips account, 1:1 where a square still performs. The editor previews at the shape you are publishing to.
- Audio you can seeAn audiogram gives an audio-only show something a feed will stop scrolling for, without you filming anything.
- One guest, one editThe intro, the lower third and the pull quote all read the guest's name from fields you set once per episode.
- Sponsor-safeA sponsor slate and a discount code as designed frames rather than a title card typed in the editor, which is usually what a media kit is promising.
Questions podcasters ask
Can I make an audiogram without filming anything?
Yes. The audiogram is a designed frame with a moving waveform, your episode title and guest name. You export it and lay your audio under it in any editor. That is the standard way an audio-first show gets a clip onto a video platform.
Do the clips need to be different sizes for each platform?
In practice yes, and the editor previews at 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 so you can check the safe area before exporting rather than discovering the crop afterwards. Several animations are authored tall specifically for the clips account.
Can a guest's name carry through the whole episode?
You set it once per animation. The guest intro, the lower third and the pull quote each take the name as a text field, so a re-export with a new guest is a couple of minutes rather than a rebuild.
Will these match my show's branding?
Yes. Save a brand kit with your colours, typeface and logo and it applies to every animation you open. For a show publishing weekly, that consistency is what makes the clips recognisable in a feed.
What do I hand a sponsor?
An MP4 of the sponsor slate, or a transparent MOV if it goes over your camera footage. Both are ordinary files you can send, archive or hand to an editor.
