Orcast → Podcast production software

Podcast production software that removes the edit bottleneck

In every video podcast pipeline the same stage eats the schedule: the edit. Recording takes an hour, publishing takes minutes — and between them sit hours of syncing and cutting. Orcast automates exactly that stage. On your Mac, free to start.

The production pipeline, with the slow part fixed

1

Record — with whatever you already use

Cameras, phones, audio recorders, any studio setup. Devices don't need to start together or share timecode.

2

Edit — Orcast, minutes per episode

Drop the shoot folder in. Orcast syncs everything by sound, cuts to whoever is speaking, goes wide for crosstalk — and shows the result on an editable timeline.

3

Finish — optionally, in your editor

Happy with the cut? Export the mp4. Want a polish pass? Send a layered timeline to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve with every camera on its own track.

4

Publish — with a transcript in hand

The finished episode is ready to upload wherever your show lives, and the speech transcript is ready for show notes.

Built for people who ship episodes on a schedule

Weekly shows

The hours you spend on the multicam cut repeat every single episode. Automating them is the difference between a show that ships on time and a backlog.

Producers & small teams

Hand your editor a pre-cut multicam timeline instead of raw footage — the mechanical work is done, the paid hours go into the creative pass.

A consistent cut, every episode

The same director logic runs on every episode: speaker on screen, wide for crosstalk. Episode 40 looks as considered as episode 4.

Private by design

Footage never leaves the Mac — the cut is computed from a tiny audio fingerprint, never from uploaded video.

Orcast is deliberately one stage of the stack: it doesn't record and it doesn't host — it turns what you recorded into what you publish. For the full editing picture, start at podcast editing software; to match your camera setup to the right settings, see the step-by-step guide.

Podcast production software FAQ

What software do you need to produce a video podcast?

Three things: something to record with (any cameras and mics — a studio, phones, or a remote-recording tool), something to edit with, and somewhere to publish. Orcast covers the edit stage: it turns the raw multicam recordings into a finished episode automatically.

Can it fit an existing Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve pipeline?

Yes. Orcast exports a layered timeline — every camera on its own track, cut where Orcast cut it — so a producer can hand a pre-edited multicam sequence to an editor for finishing instead of raw footage.

How long does one episode take?

Minutes, not hours. Sync and the multicam cut are computed automatically while you watch, and the result lands on a timeline ready to review and export.

Does it handle publishing and hosting?

No — Orcast is the edit stage. It hands you a finished mp4 ready to upload wherever your show lives, plus a speech transcript you can use for show notes. Recording and hosting stay with the tools you already use.

Does the footage get uploaded to your servers?

No. Orcast reads the files on the Mac and never uploads the video — only a tiny audio fingerprint is used to compute the cut. With subtitles on, only the audio is sent for transcription.
