How automatic AI editing of a video podcast works
Editing a video podcast by hand takes hours: syncing cameras, deciding which shot to use for each sentence, cutting silences and pulling clips for social media. At Dos Líneas we do it automatically with AI and our own technology. Here is how it works.
Short answer
The AI detects which microphone is active at each moment and switches to the camera on whoever is speaking (the front camera when you talk at the same time). It delivers the edited episode and 5 reels within hours, with no timeline work.
It all starts at recording
Each microphone records on its own track and each camera to its own file. That separation is what makes automatic editing possible: if the system knows which microphone is active at any moment, it knows who is speaking.
The cut follows whoever speaks
With three cameras (one front and two sides) the system applies a simple rule: when the person on mic 1 speaks, it uses their side camera; when the person on mic 2 speaks, the other side camera; when you talk at the same time, the front camera.
There is no timeline to touch. The result is an episode with shot changes like a television programme, without hours in an editor.
What you get
- The full widescreen episode, ready for YouTube and Spotify.
- 5 vertical reels for Instagram, TikTok and Shorts.
- The original files from every camera and microphone, in case you want to adjust something.
Why it is cheaper
Most of the cost of a video podcast is in the editing. Automating it lowers the rate: recording with AI editing costs €99 an hour and recording only, €70. See the prices page.
What AI does well and where a human helps
AI is very good at the repetitive parts: switching cameras depending on who speaks, balancing audio and generating clips. A human editor brings narrative judgment: which anecdote to trim, what order to give the ideas or how to build a hook for a particular reel.
That is why we offer both options: 100% AI editing included in the rate, and editing by a person at an additional cost if you need it.
Frequently asked questions
Does AI edit everything?
Yes. Editing is 100% AI, on our own technology. If you want a human editor involved, it is possible at an additional cost.
How long does editing take?
Because it is automatic, you get it within hours, not weeks.
How many reels do I get?
Five vertical reels, along with the full edited episode.
