Why Do I Need At Least Two Audio Tracks?

To use AutoCut Podcast, it is imperative to have at least two audio tracks from a minimum of two distinct microphones.

Here’s why:

How AutoCut Podcast Works

AutoCut Podcast operates by analyzing audio tracks to identify moments when each speaker is talking. This analysis enables the software to automatically select and activate the appropriate camera at each moment.

Why Two Audio Tracks?

• Voice Identification: With two separate audio tracks, AutoCut Podcast can easily determine who is speaking at any given time. Ideally, each audio track corresponds to one speaker.

• Camera Activation: Based on the analysis of the audio tracks, AutoCut Podcast will activate the corresponding camera to the speaker, ensuring a smooth and natural transition.

Limitation of a Single Audio Track

• Inability to Distinguish Voices: If you have only one audio track for all speakers, AutoCut Podcast will not be able to identify who is speaking. Consequently, it would be unable to select and activate the correct camera. This is why you cannot start AutoCut Podcast with just one audio track.

• Do Not Copy the Track: If you only have one audio track, copying this track is not a viable solution. This will result in random outcomes, as AutoCut Podcast will be unable to discern which track is speaking at what time.

Summary

For AutoCut Podcast to function correctly and activate the appropriate camera based on who is speaking, it is essential to have at least two distinct audio tracks, each coming from a dedicated microphone. This allows for precise voice identification and ensures a smooth and professional video editing process.
