About
Recast Studio transforms long-form recordings—webinars, podcasts, Zoom calls, interviews—into polished, channel-ready content without requiring any video editing skills. Upload a recording and the AI automatically identifies the strongest moments, generating clips optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Editing is done by manipulating a transcript: highlight text to trim footage, delete filler words, and keep captions perfectly in sync—no complex timelines needed. Once clips are ready, Recast's AI Writing tools generate blog drafts, show notes, LinkedIn posts, and email copy directly from the same transcript, creating a full content engine from a single source. The built-in social publishing scheduler lets teams post or queue content to all major platforms without downloading, re-uploading, or switching between tools. Brand styles and templates can be applied in one click for consistency across channels. Recast positions itself as a replacement for the traditional 4–6 day video production workflow—reducing turnaround to roughly 10 minutes and production costs from thousands of dollars to a starting price of $20. It is ideal for podcast producers, marketing managers, content strategists, and any team that regularly needs to extract ROI from long-form video content.
