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:
- Return to the Edit page.
- Move to a point within the first two hours and press the O key to set an out point.
- 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:
- Move to the second half of the podcast and set an In Point by pressing the I key slightly before the starting point.
- 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:
- SnapPod creates another edited track for the second half.
- Zoom in on the timeline and remove any wide-angle shots or gaps.
- 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.
