Hey Professionals 👋

Welcome to the SnapPod Manual—your all-in-one guide for making professional podcast edits in record time. Whether you're just getting started or you’ve been editing podcasts for years, this manual will help you unlock every feature of SnapPod, including:

• How to set up and run your first auto edit
• A deep dive into all SnapPod functions
• Workflow tips to speed up your editing

• Match each speaker’s audio and video tracks in Snap Pod’s settings.
• Example:

Match Video 1 to Audio 1

Match Video 2 to Audio 2

• Optionally, assign your wide angle track by clicking on + Wide Angle.
• If you have more than 2 videos, click + Camera to add another video & audio track to assign.

• SnapPod lets you decide between two track modes

Single Track Mode:

• Snap Pod places all cuts on one track.
• Cleaner timeline for quick exports.
• Less flexibility for manual tweaks.

Multi-Track Mode:

• Snap Pod separates clips across multiple tracks. Each video will have its own track.
• Easier for manual adjustments post-edit.
• Recommended for fine-tuning or client revisions.

Ignore Cuts:

Set how often cuts happen. Ignores cuts less than the set seconds.

• Prevents cuts on filler words ("um", "ah").
• Smooths out the pacing.
• Example: Set to 2 seconds for a natural flow.

Cut Timing:

Sets the edit pace by controlling when cuts happen.

• Early cut: Start camera switch just before audio.
• Late cut: Start camera switch after audio begins.

J-cuts & L-cuts:

Use Cut Timing to create smooth transitions between speakers.

Silence Deletion:

Auto-deleting silences:

• Off — Leave pauses intact.
• Light — Cut some silence.
• Aggressive — Cut all silence for fast-paced edits.

Wide Angle Frequency:

Sets the edit pace by controlling when cuts happen.

• Enter a Preset Name
• Click Save Settings
• Load it anytime from the dropdown menu.

• Load it anytime from the dropdown menu.
• You can also Import & Export presets using the buttons below.

Update Cuts (Instead of Auto Edit)

If you’ve already analysed the audio and:

• no changes to the audio or timing of your original clips.

Then

• Use Update Cuts to reapply settings without re-analyzing.

Analyze Audio

If you’ve adjusted audio tracks:

• Use Analyze Audio to refresh SnapPod’s detection.

If you click on the cogwheel icon, you will unlock the Preferences Settings where you can further customise your auto-edit experience.

The preferences menu is designed to be something setup once, so you’re not reapplying the same settings on every project.

Leave Markers At Ignored Cuts: Leaves markers on the timeline where SnapPod chose not to cut.

Noise Floor: This tells Snap Pod what level of audio should be ignored. This helps it avoid confusion from outside noise sources.

Wide angle max duration: Adjusts the max duration of the wide angle

Save Default Track Selection: Saves your chosen video and audio tracks, so every time you run Snap Pod, your track layout is automatically set to your preferred default.
