Orcast → Podcast editor
A podcast editor for camera-heavy conversations
If most of your time goes into switching between speakers, start by testing that task. Orcast builds a first camera cut from recorded interviews and video podcasts. You remain responsible for pacing, editorial choices and the final review.
What it edits for you
Orcast aligns recordings using shared audio and builds the multicam cut. Results depend on the recording: check sync and camera choices before export; adjust them when needed.
Each speaker's mic drives their camera: whoever is talking is on screen. Crosstalk and long monologues go to the wide shot, like a director would call it.
The edit lands on a timeline you can adjust, then export a finished mp4 or a layered timeline XML (FCP7 XML) that Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve open directly.
What it doesn't pretend to do
Honesty first: Orcast automates the mechanical layer of a video-podcast edit. It won't rewrite your conversation, cut filler words, add music, or clean up audio — that stays your call, in Orcast's timeline or your own editor. If your show is audio-only, a sound editor fits better; Orcast is for the video, multi-camera side.

Podcast editor FAQ
What does a podcast editor do?
A podcast editor takes raw recordings and turns them into a finished episode — syncing tracks, cutting between camera angles, and tidying the flow. Orcast automates the mechanical part of that for video podcasts: sync by sound and multicam switching, on an editable timeline.
Is Orcast a person or software?
Software — a desktop app. It does the editing work a video-podcast editor would spend hours on (sync, camera switching, staying on the speaker), and leaves the creative calls to you on a timeline you can adjust.
Can it edit a multi-camera video podcast?
Yes — that's what it's built for. It syncs every camera and mic by their audio, then cuts to whoever is speaking, using a wide shot for crosstalk and long monologues.
Does my footage get uploaded?
No. Orcast reads your files where they are and your video files are never uploaded — only technical audio data goes to our server to work out the cut. Speech recognition runs over the internet only: the audio of the recording you picked goes to a cloud service — never the video. The video is not transmitted in either case.
Is it free?
Orcast is free to download and use (a free email sign-in and an internet connection are required). The first 5 minutes of every edit are free, with full sync-by-sound and auto-cut. Editing and exporting the full episode is part of Pro.
