How to Use AutoCut Podcast?

As an example, we will use a Podcast with the following setup:

1. Define the Participants and Assign Their Audio Tracks

To start, you need to define the "participants" for each person speaking in your video podcast. Click on "Add a participant" for each speaker and then assign the corresponding audio track to each participant. In our example, we have 2 participants: Adrian & Alexandre.

• Adrian's microphone is on audio track A1 in the Premiere Pro timeline.
• Alexandre's microphone is on audio track A2 in the Premiere Pro timeline.

2. Define the Cameras and Assign Visible Participants

After defining the participants, you need to configure the cameras and specify which participants are visible on each camera. For a "wide" camera with multiple visible participants, select all visible participants.

In our example:

• On video track V1, only Adrian is visible.
• On video track V2, only Alexandre is visible.
• On video track V3, both Adrian & Alexandre are visible.

3. Set Camera Display Durations

AutoCut Podcast allows you to define maximum and minimum durations for each camera to better control shot variations. By setting these durations, you ensure that a camera will never be used too briefly or too long.

Use the available presets to adjust the editing to your style.

4. Launch AutoCut Podcast

Once your settings are configured, click the arrow next to the "Edit" button to select your desired editing option. And you’re ready to go!
