Editing multi-camera interviews using traditional methods can be a painstakingly slow and labor-intensive process. Editors often spend hours syncing and cutting footage from different camera angles, which can lead to inefficiencies and delayed project delivery.

Why use Autopod?

Autopod offers a robust solution for streamlining the editing of multi-camera interviews. By automating much of the synchronization and cutting process, it allows editors to focus on refining the content rather than getting bogged down in technical details.

Benefits of Autopod

  • Time-Saving: Autopod significantly reduces the time required to edit multi-camera interviews by automatically syncing and cutting between different angles
  • Efficiency: The automation of repetitive tasks allows editors to concentrate on creative aspects, improving the overall quality of the final product
  • Consistency: Autopod ensures a consistent editing style throughout the project, maintaining professional standards across all interviews

How to implement Autopod in your workflow

Step-by-step guide

  1. Install AutoPod: Download, install and subscribe to AutoPod
  2. Import footage: Begin by importing all camera angles and audio tracks into your editing software
  3. Sync footage: Use Autopod to automatically sync the different camera angles based on audio waveforms. Each video angle needs separate audio track to sync and make cuts properly
  4. Initial cuts: Allow Autopod to make initial cuts, switching between angles based on speaker activity and other predefined rules
  5. Review and refine: Review the automated edits and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the flow and pacing meet your standards
  6. Export: Once satisfied with the edits, export the final video for delivery
