Does Transistor support video podcasts?

Does Transistor support video podcasts?

Yes!

Our video podcasting features are currently in Beta Testing and are available to opted-in customers on Professional or higher pricing plans. Video is enabled on a show-by-show basis; we are slowly enabling it for more shows as we continue to improve the product.

Right now, we support:

• Video publishing to YouTube
• HLS video publishing to Apple Podcasts
• HLS video included in the RSS feed (supported by Amazon Music, Fountain, iHeart and likely other apps in future)

Support for Spotify video and video analytics are coming in the next few months.

How will it work?

In the future, when you upload a video episode to Transistor, we'll distribute it to all of the video platforms, but we'll also transcode the audio and distribute it to all the audio-only apps.

Here's a sneak peek of what we have so far:

Does this mean Transistor is moving away from audio?

No! Absolutely not!

Transistor will also continue to be the home for your audio podcasts: we host your audio files, generate your RSS feed, and distribute the audio version of your podcast to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, etc..

Any tips for making an audio and video podcast at the same time?

• Edit your episode in a video editing tool like Descript, Adobe Premier, ScreenFlow, Final Cut
• Edit your video with video and audio consumers in mind
• Upload the video file to Transistor (the audio track from the video will be used for both video and audio versions)

See Video Beta: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for more details.

Does Transistor support Apple HLS video hosting?

Yes! We are one of Apple's approved partners for HLS video hosting. See How do I distribute my video podcast to Apple?
