About Recast Studio

Recast Studio is an AI-powered video editor designed for marketing teams to repurpose long-form video content—such as webinars, podcasts, interviews, and Zoom recordings—into social-media-ready clips, audiograms, and written assets. It uses transcript-based editing to trim video, remove filler words, and auto-sync captions. The platform includes AI clip generation, auto reframing, animated captions, and a built-in social publishing scheduler that supports TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more. Additionally, it generates blog drafts, show notes, LinkedIn posts, and email copy directly from the video transcript. Recast Studio aims to replace fragmented editing and scheduling workflows, reducing production time from days to minutes and cutting costs.
