What is AutoPod?
AutoPod is a pack of editing plug-ins for video podcasts and shows that automates multi-camera edits, social clips, and silence-based jump cuts. AutoPod is designed by editors for editors and is presented primarily for Adobe Premiere Pro workflows. The website also provides a separate downloader for DaVinci Resolve.
AutoPod groups these tasks into Multi-Camera Editor, Social Clip Creator, and Jump Cut Editor. Each tool addresses a different production task, from choosing camera shots during a conversation to preparing resized clips for social distribution. The individual subscription includes access to all of these editing tools.
What AutoPod can do
AutoPod combines automatic editing with controls for recurring production preferences. Multi-Camera Editor considers who is speaking, the camera layout, and conventional editing patterns. Social Clip Creator handles sequence creation and formatting, while Jump Cut Editor uses a user-specified decibel cutoff to identify silence and create cuts.
- AutoPod edits sequences with up to 10 cameras and 10 microphones.
- AutoPod supports common layouts with individual, shared, and wide shots.
- AutoPod saves presets and lets editors adjust wide-shot frequency.
- AutoPod creates social clips in 1920x1080, 1080x1350, and 1080x1920 formats.
- AutoPod optionally adds auto-reframe, watermarks, and endpages.
- AutoPod stores clips in a folder for single-click batch export.
- AutoPod creates silence-based jump cuts using a configurable decibel cutoff.
How AutoPod works
AutoPod installation for Adobe Premiere Pro starts by downloading and running the installer. After installation, editors close and reopen Adobe Premiere Pro, open a project rather than remaining on the landing page, and select the desired AutoPod app under Window, then Extensions. Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 or newer is required.
AutoPod Multi-Camera Editor needs multiple cameras and separate, unique audio tracks to make editing decisions. For social clips, editors set an in/out point and select an aspect ratio; AutoPod creates a new sequence and adjusts sequence settings and footage sizes. For jump cuts, editors enter a decibel cutoff suited to their microphones.
Who AutoPod is for
AutoPod serves editors producing video podcasts and shows, particularly productions with multiple speakers, camera angles, and separate audio tracks. AutoPod also addresses social clip workflows through resizing, optional branding elements, and batch export. Saved presets support editors who repeatedly use the same camera arrangements or editing preferences.
