Podcast Editor · automatic multicam editing
The multicam edit is waiting in your editor.
Any recording works: one audio file per person and each camera’s video, from the cameras, phones and recorders you already have. The Podcast Editor syncs them, hears the whole conversation and cuts to whoever is talking, then hands Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve a finished multicam timeline.
Nothing to connect. It works with your files, after recording: drop them in, choose your editor and import the finished timeline. What you need

What you need
Your recordings and a Mac.
- 1
Each person’s audio
One file per person, or a multitrack file with each person on their own track — from your recorder, your console or your audio editor.
- 2
Each camera’s video
From any camera or phone that records its own file, vertical videos too. Synced by timecode or by sound: no clap needed.
- 3
A Mac
With Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Your files stay on the Mac.
What you don’t need
- A clap to sync
- Syncing cameras by hand
- Cutting shot by shot
- Anything connected to the Mac
How it works
Four steps: audio, video, cuts, export.
- 1
Audio
Drop one file per person or a multitrack file — or an OnAirCut session, if you used the Live Switcher. Your final mix can go on top as the master track (from Auphonic, for example). Each track plays on its own, so you can tell whose voice it is.
- 2
Video
Drop each camera’s video. It syncs every camera by timecode or by sound — no clap needed — and corrects the drift between clocks. Vertical phone videos sit next to horizontal cameras.
- 3
Cuts
It hears the whole conversation and every cut lands where someone starts talking. Choose a pace — Very fast, Fast, Normal, Calm or Custom — and it recalculates in under a second. Watch and hear the edit before exporting.
- 4
Export
Choose your editor: a multicam clip or separate clips for Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve, a sequence with each camera on its own track for Premiere Pro, or an EDL and a CSV cut list. Every export goes to its own folder.
Sync
No clap, no drift.
Every camera is synced by timecode or by sound, to a fraction of a millisecond, and the small clock difference that builds up over a long recording is corrected. From 23.976 to 60 frames per second, drop frame respected.

- Audio
- WAV, AIFF, M4A, MP3, CAF, FLAC, Opus and AAC
- Video
- MOV, MP4, M4V, MXF, MTS, M2TS, MKV from OBS, BRAW and WebM
Before exporting, it checks what your editor can open: if it can’t, it tells you first, or makes a copy at the same quality in the export folder. Your original files are never touched.

Questions
Before you download.
Which cameras can I use? +
Any camera or phone that records its own file, vertical videos too: MOV, MP4, M4V, MXF, MTS, M2TS, MKV, BRAW or WebM. Each one is synced by timecode or by sound.
Which editors does it work with? +
Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. For any other editor, an EDL (video, one track) and a CSV list of cuts.
Is it a plugin? +
No. It’s a separate Mac app that doesn’t open inside your editor: it hands it a finished timeline. In Final Cut Pro you import it with File → Import → XML.
What audio does it need? +
One file per person, or a multitrack file with one person per channel, so it hears each voice on its own. Your final mix can go on top as the master track.
How does it sync the cameras? +
By timecode or by sound, so you don’t need a clap. It also corrects the drift between each camera’s clock and the audio over a long recording. Sync podcast cameras without a clap
Can I mix phone videos with cameras? +
Yes. Vertical phone videos sit next to horizontal cameras, each one whole and upright in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. The project is 16:9 by default; a vertical version is one choice in the export step.
How long does it take? +
About 100× faster than real time. After you change a setting, the cuts recalculate in under a second.
Does it touch my original files? +
Never. If your editor can’t open a file — an MKV from OBS in Final Cut, for example — it makes a copy at the same quality in the export folder. Every export goes to its own folder, never over another.
Is it AI? +
No. It’s an algorithm tuned, little by little, on the podcasts of César, who makes OnAirCut. The audio is analysed on your Mac and never leaves it.
Do I pay for each app? +
No. OnAirCut is two apps in one: the Podcast Editor and the Live Switcher come in the same plan. It’s free until January 7, 2027 (public beta until December 24, then a 14-day free trial); after that, 19 USD a month or 190 USD a year.
