Video podcast editing — full episodes and clips, done for you.

Episode + clips: one editor, one workflow

The full episode is for people who already know you. New listeners usually find a show through short clips. Whoever edits the episode already knows the best moments. That's why we do both.

With Episode + clips you get your edited episode plus 5 vertical clips. Each clip has captions, a short headline in the first seconds and a ready post caption that points back to the full episode. Clips are cropped to the person speaking, so they work on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Want clips only, because you edit episodes yourself? See our podcast clipping service.

What we need from you

The better the raw files, the better the edit. Ideal is:

• Separate camera files. One file per camera, not a pre-mixed screen recording.
• Separate audio tracks. One track per microphone or per person. Then every voice can be fixed on its own, even when you talk over each other.
• A clap at the start. It helps line up sound and picture exactly.
• Remote recordings: if you record with Riverside, Zoom or a similar platform, send the separate files per participant if your platform saves them. A single combined recording works too. The picture just can't switch between speakers as cleanly.
• A short list of names and terms. Guests, brands, technical words. We check captions against it.
• Your intro, outro and brand assets. Music, logo, fonts, colors, if you have them.
• Timestamps you liked (optional). If a moment stood out during recording, note the time. It helps with clips.

A finished export of the episode is fine as well. Then we work with what's there.

Why hire a podcast editor

Editing yourself costs time, not money. As a rule of thumb, a careful edit takes two to four hours of work per hour of conversation. With several cameras, it takes more. That's time you could spend on guests, research or your business.

When you look for a podcast editor for hire, you'll find three options:

• Marketplace gigs: cheap and fast to book. Quality and reliability vary from editor to editor, and you may have to brief someone new each time.
• Production agencies: full service, often including recording and strategy. Usually the most expensive option.
• A dedicated editing service like ours: fixed prices, fixed deliverables, the same team every week. Episode and clips come from the same people.

Whoever you hire, check three things first: Can you test with one of your own episodes? How many revisions are included? Do you keep all raw files and finished exports? With us, the answers are yes, two, and yes.

Who this is for

• Interview and business podcasts that publish weekly and want clips without extra work.
• Creators who started a video podcast and need it to look as good as it sounds.
• Companies with a podcast or webinar series that should also show up on LinkedIn, Reels and Shorts.

Audio-only? Editing full audio-only episodes is available on request: tell us about your show and we confirm scope and price before you send anything. Clips from an audio-only show work with your cover art, a title and captions on screen.

Prices shown excl. VAT. Private customers in the EU pay 19 % German VAT on top; customers outside the EU are usually not charged German VAT (general information, not tax advice). The podcast pilot is credited when you book a package afterwards. Thumbnails for your episodes are available as an add-on from $25 excl. VAT.

How that compares

Podcast editing prices vary a lot, mostly by episode length, number of cameras and what's included besides the edit. Rough market ranges per episode: freelance editors about $50–200, boutique agencies about $200–400, full-service production about $400–1,000 and up. Monthly plans with 4 episodes often run about $800–3,500.
