Cover the talking head with pictures
A podcast clip with a static waveform loses viewers. Transcribe the clip, pick five nouns the guest says, and generate a 5-second insert for each.
| Item | Basis | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Transcript | STT at $0.01 per audio minute | $0.01 |
| 5 inserts, 5 s, 720p | Wan 3.0, $0.63 each | $3.15 |
| Compose over the original audio | Timeline, one minute | $0.10 |
| Captions | Video captions | $0.20 |
| Total | $3.46 |
Keep the voice
Use the original audio as the soundtrack and place inserts on video slots, so the guest's voice never changes.
