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 or DaVinci Resolve, go straight to the page for your program. The logic is the same in both: the sync and the multicam cut happen before you open the project, and you take away either a finished mp4 or a layered timeline XML (FCP7 XML) — every camera on its own track. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve open that XML directly. Grading, sound and polish stay exactly where you already do them.
For your own budget, multiply the quoted price per episode by your publishing schedule. For DIY editing, measure the time spent on one representative episode. Include review, creative work and export when comparing software with a service.
Everything here runs on a Mac / Windows, is built for video podcasts and interviews, and your video files are never uploaded — to work out the cut, Orcast reads the sound locally and sends only technical audio data to its online engine. Start with the section your question is in.
