Speaker 1: master in the art of post production. I'm your host, Dustin.
Speaker 1: Today we're swerving a little from our usual route, and
Speaker 1: instead of video editing, we'll be taking a deep dive
Speaker 1: into the world of podcast editing. I'll share valuable tips
Speaker 1: and tools that'll help you become a more efficient and
Speaker 1: skilled podcast editor. If you're an aspiring podcast editor or
Speaker 1: a season one looking to improve your skills, this is
Speaker 1: a show you won't want to miss. Let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Starting from square one, let's revisit the basics of podcast editing. Now,
Speaker 1: editing a podcast isn't just about erasing your errors. It's
Speaker 1: much more than that. It's about enhancing the flow of
Speaker 1: your content and making sure you've got your listeners hook
Speaker 1: to every word you utter. The main steps you need
Speaker 1: to pay attention to include trimming those unnecessary pauses. Don't
Speaker 1: show away from shortening those uncomfortably long silences or awkward moments. Also,
Speaker 1: declutter your podcast by removing filler words like um uh
Speaker 1: and like finally, do brush up on your audio levels.
Speaker 1: It's crucial to ensure all speakers are at similar volume levels,
Speaker 1: and a tool like Adobe Audition or Audacity works like
Speaker 1: a charm for this. Moving on, let me share a
Speaker 1: few tips that can save you buckets of time if
Speaker 1: you're involved in the recording process. Make a habit of
Speaker 1: setting markers during key moments. It'll do you wonders during
Speaker 1: the editing phase. And let's not forget the magic of shortcuts.
Speaker 1: Whether you're an Adobe Audition fan or an Audacity enthusiast,
Speaker 1: learning keyboard shortcuts can save you hours in the long run.
Speaker 1: Most importantly, maintain consistency. Make sure you use the same intro,
Speaker 1: outro and background music across all your podcast episodes to
Speaker 1: establish brand consistency. And a golden rule on top of this,
Speaker 1: always wear headphones while editing. It helps you catch those
Speaker 1: tiny audio details that might slip past the loud speakers. Now,
Speaker 1: let me introduce you to AI tools that can truly
Speaker 1: transform your editing game. Tools like descript, a Phonic, Adobe
Speaker 1: Podcast Enhance, and clean Voice help you elevate your podcast
Speaker 1: quality and decrease the time spent on editing. Descript allows
Speaker 1: you to edit your audio by editing the text transcription
Speaker 1: of your podcast, a life saver when it comes to
Speaker 1: removing filler words and restructuring conversations. Meanwhile, Aphonic and Adobe
Speaker 1: podcast Enhance help you solve audio leveling and background noise issues.

Speaker 1: removing filler words and mouth sounds. These AI tools turn
Speaker 1: podcast editing from a tedious task into a breezy, speedy process.
