Tutorial: Editing Workflow For Podcasts Longer Than 2+ Hours.

1. Introduction

Timestamp: 0:00–0:10

Overview: Orson presents a workaround for SnapPod's stability issue when handling podcasts longer than the stable limit (approximately 2 hours).

2. Demonstrating the Issue

Timestamp: 0:10–0:15

Explanation: Begin by pressing Auto-Edit on a podcast slightly over two hours long.

Result: A warning message appears, indicating a temporary stability issue.

3. Choosing a Safe Workflow

Timestamp: 0:29–0:38

Option 1: Press Risk It Anyway if you think it'll work (may cause glitches).

Option 2: Recommended: Return to the Edit page and follow the workaround.

4. Setting an Out Point

Timestamp: 0:38–1:06

Steps:

1. Return to the Edit page.
2. Move to a point within the first two hours and press the O key to set an out point.
3. Set the clip to a length under two hours (I set it around ~1 hour 30 minutes).

5. Running Auto-Edit for the First Half

Timestamp: 1:06–1:14

Action: Click Auto-Edit on the shortened clip (first half of the podcast).

Result: SnapPod will edit the first segment of your podcast.

6. Editing the Second Half of the Podcast

Timestamp: 1:33–1:58

Steps:

1. Move to the second half of the podcast and set an In Point by pressing the I key slightly before the starting point.
2. Click Auto-Edit again to process the second half of the podcast.

7. Combining Both Edits for a Seamless Timeline

Timestamp: 2:07–2:49

Steps:

1. SnapPod creates another edited track for the second half.
2. Zoom in on the timeline and remove any wide-angle shots or gaps.
3. To align tracks, select the footage and hold Shift while moving to ensure alignment.

8. Final Touches

Timestamp: 2:49–3:01

Action: Check for minor frame gaps. These won't affect the final edit but can be removed for consistency.

9. Wrap-Up

Timestamp: 3:01–3:27

Summary: Orson apologizes for the workaround necessity, assuring that a permanent solution is in development.
