Edit Podcasts with Skrrol AI

Podcasts are an audio-first medium that increasingly ships as video too. Skrrol AI handles both. The audio mixer gives you per-track EQ, compression hooks, and noise reduction. The multi-track timeline supports a host track, multiple guest tracks, an intro/outro music bed, and SFX — each treated independently. The subtitle generator transcribes the entire conversation for show-notes use and for captioned video podcast distribution.

The podcast editing workflow has its own rhythm. You start with raw recordings — host on track 1, each guest on a separate track, intro music on a final track. Sync them by waveform if you recorded across separate devices. Then the cleanup pass: noise reduction on every track to remove room hum and breath noise, EQ to give each voice its own frequency space, level normalization so no one clips and no one disappears.

Next is the conversational edit. Trim long pauses, remove filler words ('um', 'uh', 'like') with the razor tool, and ripple-delete to keep the conversation flowing. Most podcast editors aim to compress a 90-minute raw recording into a 60-minute finished cut — about 33% efficiency. Skrrol's multi-track timeline keeps every speaker's track aligned through ripple-deletes so you don't break sync.

For video podcasts, the visualizer track turns the audio into something watchable. Skrrol supports a simple waveform or frequency-bar visualizer that animates with the audio. Combined with face-cam recordings of each speaker (typically displayed as a grid layout via picture-in-picture), the video version is easy to assemble on top of the audio edit.

Intros and outros are formulaic. A 15-second pre-roll intro with a music bed and a host name overlay; a 30-second post-roll outro with a CTA, sponsor read, and music bed. Skrrol's animated-titles handle the typography. The audio mixer ducks the music bed under the host's voice automatically.

Exports cover audio (WAV master, MP3 for distribution platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts) and video (1080p H.264 for YouTube and Spotify video, 9:16 social clips for promotion).
