The Power of AI in Video Podcast Editing:

Editing a video podcast can be a time-consuming task, requiring expertise and patience.

However, with the advent of AI, have found the editing process to be much more efficient.

As the host of the Macpreneur podcast, I would like to share my experience of using AI to cut my editing time by four times compared to traditional editing methods.

In my podcast episode, I will reveal my secrets to transforming a long-form video into 28 amazing short clips in a fraction of the time.

By the end of the episode, you’ll be amazed at how AI can streamline your editing workflow and save you valuable time and effort.

Season-Based Podcasting and Video Format:

I began my podcasting journey by implementing three significant changes to my show format.

Firstly, I decided to shorten each episode to 15 to 20 minutes, making it easily digestible for listeners during short commutes or workouts.

Secondly, I structured my podcast into seasons, with each season focusing on a specific theme.

Lastly, I embraced the power of video by producing a video podcast, aiming to leverage YouTube as a powerful search platform.

To efficiently repurpose my podcast content, I adopted an “omnipresent strategy,” inspired by Ash Borland from the Mortgage Marketing Podcast.

My plan is to release seven short snippets from each episode on various social media platforms throughout the week.

This strategy helps me maximize the reach of my content and engage with a wider audience.

The Podcast Production Process:

In my podcast production process, I want to walk you through how AI plays a crucial role in saving time and maintaining quality.

Let’s take a closer look at the steps involved:

Planning and Brainstorming: I start by choosing a theme for the season and brainstorming episode topics. I then outline the problem and solution for each episode.
Refining the Outline: With the help of AI, I refine my episode outline, ensuring that the content flows smoothly and effectively delivers the intended message.
YouTube Framework and Videos: I create a hook and foreshadow using AI-powered tools. I prepare Keynote slides and visuals, capturing the essence of the episode. By utilizing my clever Square Keynote Template, I record my video once and crop it for different aspect ratios, enabling easy repurposing.
Recording and Editing: AI is not involved in the recording process itself but comes into play during editing. I rely on Descript, a powerful AI-driven tool, to effortlessly edit my video podcast. Descript allows me to make edits simply by selecting and deleting text, saving significant time compared to traditional editing methods.
Publishing and Repurposing: Once the podcast episode is edited, I publish it in various formats, including video on YouTube, audio on Buzzsprout, and a blog post on the Macpreneur website. Descript aids in exporting captions for YouTube and generates a transcript for the blog post.

The Benefits of AI in Podcast Editing:

By incorporating AI into my podcast production process, I have achieved remarkable time savings and increased output.

Traditional video editing can take 30 to 60 minutes for every minute of video, but with AI, I have reduced my editing time to an average of 6.7 minutes per minute of podcast content.

AI has not only expedited my editing process but also improved the quality of my final products.

With AI-powered transcription, audio processing, and even eye contact simulation, I can deliver a polished video podcast that captivates my audience.

Conclusion:

Thanks to AI, podcast editing on my Mac has reached new heights. With tools like Keynote and Descript, I can significantly decrease editing time while maintaining the production quality my audience expects. My journey with AI has showcased the power of automation and streamlined processes in the world of podcasting.

If you’re hesitant to start a podcast or struggling to optimize your existing process, AI can be the game-changer you need. By leveraging the tools and techniques I’ve shared in this blog post, you too can produce high-quality video podcasts, repurpose content for multiple platforms, and save valuable time in the process.
