Welcome to this week’s edition, I’m sharing one of my favourite tools and some maxims from a few episodes I’ve edited this week.

Tool or Resource of the Week

🎥 Would you like to create a video podcast with a seamless appearance, avoiding the need for a graphic frame to place speakers side by side? You can achieve this efficiently in minutes using Descript Sequences! No need to invest in expensive plugins every month or spend time and money editing each camera switch manually. How can you accomplish this?

🔊 Ensure that each person’s audio is recorded separately to a different file (which can be the video file). This will allow the software to detect when each individual is speaking.

📁 Upload both files to the media browser and combine them into a new sequence. Open this sequence to add the edited and improved audio. If you choose to do this, mute the original audio instead of deleting it.

🎬 Insert the new sequence into the script, ensuring that each video layer is full screen. Select it on the timeline, then shift your attention to the panel on the right. Click the dropdown menu under “Multi-cam,” and if everything has been done correctly, you should be able to select the option called “Active Speaker.” Once selected, this should automatically create a new scene for each moment someone speaks, with an anticipated buffer. You can now apply any branded templates to the scenes.
