How I Edit Podcasts in DaVinci Resolve (Fast + Easy Workflow)
In this video, I walk through my full podcast editing workflow in DaVinci Resolve.
This is the exact process I use on recurring client podcasts to edit faster, stay organized, and avoid unnecessary manual cutting. From file organization and syncing audio, to color grading and automated multi-cam cutting, this workflow has saved me hours on every episode.
This tutorial assumes you already have:
A multi-camera podcast recorded
Separate audio tracks for each speaker
Clean audio sources
