Beyond the Basics: Advanced Tips to Edit Audio for Podcasts Using FireCut

 There has been a sharp increase in the popularity of podcasts recently. They go viral quicker than other forms of content. While podcasts look amazing, they are difficult to film and then edit. Usually there are multiple cameras and mics, so multiple pieces of footage need to be processed to produce one episode. It’s also very important to edit the audio for podcasts thoroughly so there are no gaps, repetition, or any unnecessary sounds. 

Automate your workflow: FireCut AI

Whether you are using Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, editing a podcast manually can be very tiresome. These tools are very powerful and give you control over many aspects of video editing, but it can take hours to edit podcasts with just one tool. So in order to be efficient in your work, you need to let AI handle all the lengthy tasks. FireCut AI is a great AI-powered plugin available for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve that can help you edit podcasts in minutes. Let's see how FireCut can help you edit podcasts.

Edit the Audio:

So firstly, it is important that you have clean audio to begin with. FireCut lets you cut out the silences, repetition, and any filler words like “umm,” “ahh,” etc. It uses AI to analyze the audio and makes the right cuts so you don’t have to go through the footage multiple times and spend hours just cutting out the parts that are not needed.

Multi-track Editing:

FireCut can even help you combine multiple tracks by making cuts at the right places and switching between speakers. It can also incorporate a wider angle if you have footage from 2 cameras. You can also choose the screen-time ratio if you want to focus on a speaker or boost the volume for a speaker. This feature also saves you hours of editing, as it takes up all the manual labor. 

Automated Captions:

Do you spend long hours adding captions manually? Not anymore. FireCut adds captions in more than 50 languages within a few minutes. Just select a popular preset like hormozi, pop up, box follow, etc., or if you have more time, customize your captions by choosing your favorite font, size, color, and animation. Just like that, styled captions are added to your videos in just a few clicks!

Chapters & Highlights:

Since a podcast is usually a long video, it is a good idea to add chapters so it's easier for the audience to navigate. With FireCut, you can easily add these chapters and generate titles and descriptions for your video in seconds. This improves the searchability of the video and also helps to make the video viral. Another amazing feature of FireCut is highlights, which helps you turn the long podcast into short videos to post on social media platforms as trailers or shorts/reels. You can also add captions, b-rolls, and even reframe the video so you get ready to post content in seconds.

Conclusion: Work Smarter, Not Harder

The secret to a successful podcast isn't just great guests; it's high-quality production that keeps the audience engaged. FireCut AI bridges the gap between raw footage and a polished final product, offering tools for everything from silent-gap removal to automated social media highlights.
