Clipping up a Podcast or Twitter Space for Gitcoin Passport and Other Gitcoin Products (July 2023)

This wiki page guides you on how to clip up a podcast or Twitter Space for Gitcoin Passport or other Gitcoin products, a vital process in creating engaging, relevant content for your audience.

Step 1: Scheduling the Interview

Arrange an interview, a Twitter Space, or another speaking engagement that involves someone from Gitcoin presenting. The context doesn't necessarily have to state that Gitcoin is interviewing itself. The audience usually perceives it as part of an actual interview, which adds authenticity to the organization.

Step 2: Recording the Interview

Ensure the interview is recorded. If it's a Twitter Space, activate the recording setting while creating it - you can't change this later. In case you forget to set the recording or are not hosting the Twitter Space, find an alternative way to capture the audio, such as using the voice notes feature on your phone or computer.

Step 3: Post-Interview Editing

After the interview, create snippets that are ideally less than 60 seconds and no more than 90 seconds. These should be concise responses to questions relevant to your target audience. For Gitcoin Passport, some notable questions could be:

• What is a unique humanity score and what score do you set to protect your community?

• Why are existing integrators excited about Gitcoin Passport?

• How does Gitcoin Passport solve the Sybil problem?

Remember, failing to leverage an interview into marketing material is akin to shouting into the void.

Step 4: Clipping Technology

We recommend using Descript to clip your content. It offers a plethora of tutorials on creating podcast clips. For Gitcoin Passport, the default voice waveform element dragged onto the project timeline has proven effective.

Example Descript project:

Step 5: Adding Visual Elements

Using Descript, add relevant visual elements such as…

• The audio visualization waveform (it’s super easy to add)

• The Gitcoin Passport logo

• A bold, striking title embedded in the video

• Captions

Step 6: Crafting Social Media Framing Text

Lastly, add text to go along with the clip you post. The text should intrigue and motivate viewers to watch the video. Creating effective framing text can be complex and is a topic that requires its own detailed explanation.

 

Step 7: Export it & Post It!

Export the video from Descript. And upload the exported file to Twitter (or whatever platform). Add the framing text.

 

 

With these steps, you are well-equipped to create engaging clips from your Gitcoin interviews and Twitter Spaces. Happy clipping!
