Podcast editing guides & comparisons

It's all about one thing: getting a multicam video podcast edited without losing a day to it. The pages below are short and specific — no filler, no “top 10 tools” lists.

If you've never automated an edit before, start with what an automatic editor does and where it stops. Briefly: it lines your cameras and microphones up by sound, decides which camera is on screen from who is speaking, and hands you a finished cut that you still control. Knowing that boundary answers half the questions on its own.

If you already edit in Premiere Pro, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve, go straight to the page for your program. The logic is the same in all three: the sync and the multicam cut happen before you open the project, and your editor receives a layered timeline — every camera on its own track. Grading, sound and polish stay exactly where you already do them.

If you're still weighing up whether to edit it yourself, hire someone, or hand the mechanical layer to software, the cost page has the real numbers per episode and per year, and the hiring page is honest about when a human is still the better answer. We don't pretend automation replaces an editor everywhere.

Everything here runs on a Mac, is built for video podcasts and interviews, and keeps your footage on your own machine — only a tiny audio fingerprint ever leaves it. Start with the section your question is in.
