Orcast → Free podcast editing software
Free podcast editing software for Mac
Free podcast editing usually means a blank timeline and a weekend of work. Orcast is free to start in a different way: download it, drop in your recordings, and it edits the first 5 minutes of your multicam episode for you — synced by sound, cut to the speaker. No card.
What "free" means here
Get Orcast for Mac with a free email sign-in — no card, no watermark on what you preview.
The full automatic edit — sync, multicam cut, timeline — on the first 5 minutes of any recording, as often as you like.
During the open beta every new account gets 30 days of Pro free — full length and export unlocked. Just download and sign in.
Your video never leaves your Mac — the cut is computed from a tiny audio fingerprint, never uploaded footage.
Where Orcast fits — honestly
Orcast is free-to-start editing for video podcasts with cameras, on a Mac. It automates the multicam edit; it isn't a free audio editor and it doesn't cut filler words or add music. Beyond the free 5 minutes, full-length episodes and export are on the Pro plan.

Free podcast editing FAQ
Is Orcast really free?
Orcast is free to download and use, with a free email sign-in and no card. The first 5 minutes of any edit are free every time — sync, auto-cut and preview included. Editing and exporting the full episode is part of the Pro plan.
What's free vs Pro?
Free: download, sync by sound, the automatic multicam cut and a preview of the first 5 minutes, on as many recordings as you like. Pro: editing across the full length of the recording and full export (mp4 or a Premiere/DaVinci timeline).
Is there a free trial of Pro?
During the open beta every new account gets 30 days of Pro free — just download and sign in with your email. Nothing to enter.
Is it free like Audacity or GarageBand?
Those are free audio editors. Orcast is different — it's a free-to-start video editor that does the multicam edit (camera switching) automatically. For audio-only shows, a sound editor fits better.
Any catch with the free version?
No card, no watermark on the free 5-minute preview, and your video never leaves your Mac. The only limit is length: full-length editing and export are Pro.
