Podcasters and content marketers often face a common problem: you have a great podcast episode, but turning it into engaging video clips for social media or YouTube takes hours of editing. And if you want to promote a product within those clips, you need to weave in product visuals seamlessly. That's where a long video generator that works with product URLs can save the day. Instead of manually cutting and stitching, you can generate longer narrative videos directly from a product page URL, making your podcast clips more dynamic and conversion-focused.
In this guide, I'll show you a practical workflow using Van Gogh Studio (also known as FreeVideoGenerator) to create long-form video clips from product URLs. You'll learn how to set up your project, generate the video, and avoid common pitfalls.
Traditional podcast clips are usually short, punchy moments pulled from an episode. But sometimes you need a longer narrative — for example, a 2-3 minute explainer that introduces a product while sharing a story from the podcast. Manually editing this would require syncing audio, adding b-roll, and creating product shots. A long video generator can automate much of this by using the product URL as a source for visuals and generating a coherent video sequence.
Compared to using a standard text-to-video tool, the product URL approach gives you real product images and details without needing to upload assets. This is especially useful for affiliate marketers or brands that want to create consistent product-focused content.
Here's how to create a long video using a product URL on Van Gogh Studio. The platform's Long Video feature is designed for longer narratives, so it's perfect for podcast clips that need more context.
Before you start, have a clear script or outline for your video. Since you're creating a long video, you'll want a beginning, middle, and end. For a podcast clip, this might be:
Keep your script concise — aim for 150-200 words for a 1-2 minute video.
Go to the product page you want to feature. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar. Make sure the page is publicly accessible and contains clear product images and descriptions. Van Gogh Studio will use this URL to pull product information.
Log in to your Van Gogh Studio account. Navigate to the Long Video feature (you can find it at https://freevideogenerator.io/long-video). Click on "Create New" or "Start Project."
In the project setup, you'll see a field for a product URL. Paste the URL you copied. Then, in the script or prompt area, paste your podcast clip script. You can also add additional instructions, such as the tone (e.g., "energetic," "professional") or any specific visual style you want.
Select your preferred aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok/Reels), resolution, and duration. For podcast clips, a duration of 1-3 minutes is typical. Keep in mind that longer videos will use more credits — standard usage is about 10 credits per video, but this can vary based on model and settings.
Click "Generate" and wait for the video to be created. Once done, review the output. You may need to regenerate if the visuals don't match your expectations. You can also use the platform's editing tools to make adjustments.
When you're satisfied, export the video in your desired format. Then, upload it to your social channels or embed it in your blog post.
