The full episode
A video podcast should feel like you're sitting at the table. That means switching to whoever is talking, cutting to reactions at the right moments, and keeping the conversation moving without making it feel chopped up.
- Every camera synced to clean audio, switched to the speaker.
- Dead air, false starts and long tangents trimmed, keeping the natural feel.
- Levels evened out so no voice is louder than another.
- Your intro, outro and guest name titles applied every time.
The clips
Clips are where new people find your show. We watch the episode for moments that stand on their own: a strong opinion, a story with a payoff, a line people will want to send to a friend. Then we reframe them for vertical, add captions and open on the best line.
Why one team for both
If the same editors cut the episode and the clips, everything looks like the same show and the clips point back to the full episode. It's also one brief and one handoff instead of two.
