How to create an audiogram for your podcast! Hey everyone, Alec here and in this video I'm going to
be showing you how you can create audiograms just like these. You can either start out with a video
version of your podcast and overlay an audiogram or you can start out from an audio version and
create a video from that audio and with that being said let's get started! So the tool we're going to
be using is called Veed so you can either head over to google and google Veed which is v-e-e-d
and then click on the first link. If not, as usual the links are going to be in the description down
below. Once you're on Veed, the first thing you want to do is create a new project. Once you're
in Veed's video editor, here you need to upload your podcast audio or video to begin creating an
audiogram so we're going to click on the upload files and then we're going to browse through our
documents and here I have a snippet as an mp4 file and then I also have a snippet of the podcast as
an mp3 file. First, I'm going to start with the audio version so if I select the audio and I
click on open as you can see we're now prompted to select a template and if we want to post this to
Instagram we can select the Instagram template. If not you can just start with a blank canvas.
So I'm going to select the instagram template and as we can see now if I click play. "Hey everyone,
I hope you're all doing great. Welcome to the social media podcast!" As you can see you can hear
my audio and the first thing you'll notice is that you can actually see the audiogram at the bottom
of our square video canvas so the very first thing I'm going to do here is actually quickly
name the project so I'm just going to click on project name and then I'm going to type audiogram
just like this. Okay now what I want to do is quickly do some styling so I'm going to change
the background color. I'm going to make the background color orange just like this and then
the podcast artwork here it says replacement in the image tab so if I click on this the image tab
will open up. If not, it's in the left toolbar and then here we can actually click replace
to replace our image so if I click here I'm going to select an image that I want to post here so
what I could do is actually select this cutout of me and if I click open as we can see this is now
imported into Veed's video editor on our video canvas so what i'm going to do is just quickly
resize it just like this and then I'm going to click and drag it to place it wherever I want on
the video canvas and what I might do is just bring it backwards so it's behind my audiogram. Now if I
just click and drag this up as you can see i have my audiogram. Then once we've clicked on it the
soundwave tab is actually going to open up and in the soundwave tab we have the dropdown menu
to choose the different styles of audiogram that we want and currently we have a choice between 11
different styles so as we can see if I change it to static we have this one. "I am your host Alec"
If I click on the drop down menu and I choose harmony we have this one and in this
we also have this one podcast there's a bunch of different styles and I'll let you go through
them and choose the one that you prefer best. We also have this nice circle one which I like
which is very creative. For example, I could click and drag this and if I put it behind my
head resize it just like this and then I do 'bring backwards'. As you can see, "we're going to be
talking about everything and" it looks pretty good. It kind of looks like the audio is coming
from behind me so I might leave this and then what I want to do is actually change the color of it so
I want to make it red, see how that looks, and maybe I'll choose this color right here. If not,
what we can do is just select the hex color and select the color we want to make it. If not,
i'm going to go into the color palette and just select a darker orange so it kind of blends in
with the background. If not, we're going to choose a yellow. So this is how I've added
an audiogram. Now if i wanted to I'm just going to show you real quick how to create this into
a decent instagram post and if I click on the subtitle tab I'm just going to quickly add some
subtitles so if I click on the automatic subtitle tool and click on start Veed then automatically
transcribes all of the audio from your podcast into text and turns this text into subtitles so
now as you can see I have subtitles on my video. Now I'm not going to go in depth about how to
create subtitles and style them for your video right now but I will put a link in the cards at
the top of the screen for you to go and check out. So real quick I'm just going to change the style.
I'm just going to choose this one right here and if I place this in the middle now if I click play
I'm going to place it from the beginning "hey everyone, I hope you're all doing great! welcome
to the social media podcast I'm your host" I've now got a nice snippet ready for my instagram
now if I select the audiogram once again as we can see we can control the duration. If I
don't want it to last throughout the entire video let's just say I want to start at five seconds in
just like this as you can see if I click play from three seconds "host alec and in this podcast
we're going to" only starts from five seconds in. Now something you can also adjust is the decibel
levels. At the moment the minimum decibel level is minus 120 and then the maximum is minus 10
and as you can see if we adjust this our audio waveform is then going to change how it behaves
and reacts to the decibels "anything related" so depending on what you want yours to look like
just go ahead and play around with these to see what you can get. For example,
if I make the max db very low it's just going to be peaking constantly "get comfortable
grab your favorite" and it doesn't look very good so you need to kind of adjust these depending on
the decibel levels of your audio. So that is how to create an audiogram from your podcast audio
that you could potentially share to social media platforms to promote your podcast. Now what I'm
going to do is create an audiogram and overlay that audiogram on my podcast video so to do
this we're just going to create a new project from within Veed. So here I am once again in a new Veed
project and this time when I click on upload video files what we're going to do is select our podcast
video so if I click on open as you can see our video is now imported into veed and if I click on
play "hey everyone i hope you're all doing great" This is our podcast video snippet. Now here this
time we're not prompted to choose from a template so our audiogram doesn't appear automatically
but to add an audiogram it's very simple. If we go into the elements tab, we click on sound waves,
and we're going to click on add sound wave and now as you can see if I click play "welcome to the
social" we have an audiogram that's been created for our video so again we're just going to do
the same thing. We're going to go through the drop down menu and select one that we like and we think
suits our video. We're also going to change the color so for this one I'm going to make this one
blue because it kind of matches the purple-y blue background. Again, always remember to name
your project. Name this audiogram just like this and then real quick if I want to share this to
Instagram I need to make sure that I change the video canvas size. At the moment it's a
16:9 horizontal video but if we're posting it to Instagram it needs to be a 1:1 aspect ratio. So to
do this under the project tab with the canvas size drop down menu we're just going to select this and
then we have a bunch of different aspect ratios that we can choose from and here I'm just going
to select this square 1:1 aspect ratio and as you can see our video is automatically resized and now
if I click play "video podcast. I'm your host Alec and in this podcast" Perfect! Now I'm not
a massive fan of this beam one so what you could do is potentially change this and something I like
doing is if we use the static one right here if I click and drag my video up and hide it behind,
drag it up a bit more, hide it behind here, place this right here, now at the bottom we
could have some space to add subtitles so again what I could do is go back to the subtitle tab,
automatically add subtitles. Remember to select the language that Veed needs to detect to
automatically transcribe your podcast audio into subtitles and then once it's finished as you can
see we now have subtitles at the bottom. What I'm going to do is just quickly change the style make
them like this and now if I click play "the social media podcast i'm your host Alec". Now as we can
see it's peaking a bit here at the beginning so if I click on the audiogram what I want to do
is increase the maximum decibel levels so if I click play "and in this podcast we're going
to be talking about everything and anything related" that looks quite good to me now I'm
just going to select this and nudge it a tiny bit just so I make sure it's hidden behind the center
of the audiogram social media "so get comfortable grab your favorite" that looks great to me and
then once you're happy with the audiogram that you've created for your podcast all you need to do
is click export in the top right. Veed then starts to render your video with its audiogram. Then once
it's finished rendering you can then download your video straight to your computer and that is how to
create an audiogram for your podcast. If you have any questions please let me know in the comment
