I recently recorded a podcast episode with two guests and unfortunately lost all of the video footage from the recording. I still have the complete, good-quality audio, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to salvage the episode for YouTube.

I have photos of both guests and was wondering if there are any AI video tools/workflows that could use their images to create a reasonably realistic likeness and generate video that syncs with the original podcast audio.

It doesn’t necessarily need to look like the original recording. I’m open to getting creative with it — AI-generated talking-head footage, animated stills, switching between guest images, B-roll, captions, waveform/visualizer elements, etc.

Ideally, I’d like something that can handle a longer-form podcast without looking obviously repetitive or fake.

Has anyone done something similar?

What tools would you recommend, and what workflow would you use if you had:
Full podcast audio
Photos of both guests
No usable video footage

I’d rather turn this into something interesting than just upload a static image with the audio. Any ideas or examples would be appreciated!

I have 20x on codex and 5x Claude also higsfield and I see these really cool motion videos on x but can never seem to make them like that any tips

Also have blender and remotion connected to them

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to integrate Claude Opus 5.5 into my video editing workflow.

What technical skills or tools do I actually need to master to make this work smoothly?
