The Podwobble editor on the Look step: templates and layers in the middle, and on the right a square preview of The Founder's Journey with a ring of green bars around the host photo.

The short version

See it in 38 seconds.

Waveforms

A waveform that moves with the person talking.

The ring sits around the host photo and reacts to that host’s own voice, so a two-person episode reads at a glance: whoever is speaking is the one who moves. Prefer it plain? Four standalone waveform styles sit anywhere in the frame. Any colour, any size, plus your own text, logo, shapes and images on top.

Before your first video

Bring your audio.
Gather your artwork.

Start with a built-in template, or bring a design from your designer or ChatGPT. Keep the images separate so you can arrange them around the animation and captions.

File checklist and design brief →
  • Finished episode audioRequired. The complete recording, with music and edits, that your audience will hear.
  • Host imagesA photo or illustration for each host you want on screen.
  • Separate host recordingsFor animation that follows each voice. Export each host alone with the same start, edits and silent gaps as the finished episode. One host can get started with just the episode audio.
  • Your logo OptionalA separate transparent PNG is easiest to place.
  • A background image OptionalLeave space for hosts, waveforms and captions, or use the built-in colours and templates.

How it works

Four steps, in that order.

  1. 01

    Voices

    Bring in the episode as MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, Ogg or Opus, then give each host a photo, a name and a colour. Add a separate voice recording for each host whose animation should follow their own voice. Keep each file aligned with the finished episode. These recordings control the animation; the episode audio is what your audience hears.

  2. 02

    Look

    Start from one of six templates or build it yourself: four waveform styles, seven palettes or your own colours, a reactive ring or a bounce on the host photo, name plates, a progress bar, your text, your logo, a background image. Drag anything on the preview to place it, then save the look for next week.

  3. 03

    Captions

    Transcribe the episode on your own machine. Captions can light each word as it is spoken and take each host’s colour, in a box or as outlined text. Transcription is English; for anything else, import an SRT or VTT.

  4. 04

    Export

    Export the whole episode, or set a clip start and end. Every format you picked renders in one go as H.264 MP4 at 30fps, captions visible in the video, .srt and .vtt saved alongside if you want them.

Privacy

Your work stays on your computer.

Nothing you make leaves your machine. No account, nothing to sign in to. Your audio, photos, captions and projects stay on your computer, and the speech model that writes the captions ships inside the app. The version downloaded from this site goes online to check for updates and, if you activate Pro, to check your license. Your project files stay on your computer.

A project is one .podwobble file with copies of everything it uses, so you can move it, back it up, or open it on another machine with nothing missing.

Installing on Windows

The installer isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows may stop it the first time. If you see “Windows protected your PC”, click More info, then Run anyway.

If it won’t open at all, right-click Podwobble-Setup.exe, choose Properties, tick Unblock at the bottom of the General tab, click OK and run it again.

It installs for your account only, with no admin password, and updates itself after that. Stuck? Write to support@podwobble.com.
