Eddie now includes a specialized module for podcast editing: Eddie Podcasts. Designed to handle multiple audio and video sources seamlessly, this module optimizes podcast-style content where multiple speakers contribute at different times—similar to Zoom or Riverside recordings.

How Eddie Podcasts Works

When working with podcast-style recordings, Eddie provides two key processing modes based on how your audio tracks interact:

1. Overlapping Audio (Standard Multicam Mode)

For a deeper understanding of overlapping audio in multicam projects, check out this step-by-step guide.

  • This mode is ideal for traditional multicam setups, where all video and audio tracks are recorded simultaneously.

  • Eddie will sync and align footage based on overlapping waveforms.

  • The result is a multicam edit similar to what you’d expect in a professional studio environment.

  • This works best when multiple cameras and microphones capture a live conversation or event.

2. Non-Overlapping Audio (Podcast Mode – Uncorrelated Assets)

  • This mode is built for remote interviews, separate recordings, and podcast-style content where speakers might record separately or where audio files are not synchronized.

  • This method mirrors the workflow of platforms like Zoom and Riverside, ensuring each speaker’s segment is placed in the right sequence.

Key Features of Eddie Podcasts

Automated Speaker Detection – Eddie identifies when each person is speaking and adjusts camera angles accordingly.
Waveform-Based Syncing – For overlapping audio, Eddie ensures seamless alignment between video and audio tracks.
Intelligent Clip Sequencing – For non-overlapping audio, Eddie structures your podcast in a logical flow based on timestamps.
Effortless Multicam Editing – Get a ready-to-use rough cut that aligns with how podcast interviews are typically structured.

How to Use Eddie Podcasts

1. Import Your Files

  • Upload your podcast recordings into Eddie.

  • If your files contain overlapping audio, Eddie will run the standard multicam process.

  • If your files have non-overlapping audio, Eddie will process them using the podcast mode for optimal sequencing.

2. Choose the Right Sync Mode

  • Overlapping Audio? → Eddie will generate a traditional multicam timeline.

  • Non-Overlapping Audio? → Eddie will process the audio separately and structure the conversation accordingly.

3. Review and Refine

  • Eddie will generate a rough cut with properly synced and structured clips.

  • You can refine speaker visibility, pacing, and cut points as needed.

4. Export to Your Preferred NLE

  • Once satisfied, export your project as an XML for Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid.

  • Eddie ensures your multicam timeline is structured properly for easy final editing.
