Can I use a wide shot in addition to per-speaker close-ups?

Yes. "Different Shots" mode adds a wide that's used at the start and at configurable intervals for visual variety.

Built for the way podcasts are actually shot

Up to 8 speakers

A–H mapped to V1–V8 / A1–A8. Two-camera podcasts, panel shows, roundtables — same pipeline.

Sync from timeline

Per-speaker offset is computed from each mic and camera's source-in vs. timeline-start. No clapper required.

Speaker-aware switching

The engine identifies who's speaking on each line and overwrites V1 with that speaker's camera.

Wide-shot intervals

Optional "Different Shots" mode. Wide at the start, then re-cut at a configurable frequency.

Mic muting

Linked camera audio is muted automatically; only the dedicated mic tracks remain active.

Intro trim

Optional pass detects dead air at the top and trims it before the first line.

Frequently asked questions

How many speakers does EditBuddy support?

Up to 8 speakers. Each gets their own video and audio track. Two-camera podcasts and panel discussions are both first-class.

Do I need to sync clips before importing?

No. EditBuddy reads the timeline-derived offset between each mic and its camera and syncs automatically.

Can I use a wide shot in addition to close-ups?

Yes. "Different Shots" mode adds a wide used at the start and at configurable intervals.

Will it handle dead air at the top of the episode?

Yes. An optional intro-trim pass detects dead air at the top and trims it before the first line.

Can I make shorts from my podcast?

Yes. Run the podcast pipeline first to lock the multi-cam edit, then run Long → Shorts to extract viral clips with auto-reframe and captions.

What about Riverside or Squadcast recordings?

If your recording tool exports per-track audio + video, EditBuddy works with it. Drop the tracks on V1–V8 and A1–A8 and map them.
