Podcast Editor

You can find a podcast editor from a freelance site or try to check out popular podcast editing services. Another option is to check online podcast communities and ask for recommendations there. You can check out Riverside’s Facebook community and our list of featured editors.

A general rule of thumb is that your editing time should be double your recording time. Although, it can take you longer or shorter to edit a podcast, depending on your skill and what tools you’re using. 

The good news is with today's technology, you can cut your editing time in more than half. With Riverside's AI Editor, you can create a full podcast episode in just a few clicks.

The amount you’d pay for a podcast editor depends on their skills, experience, and the project you must complete. The bigger the project, the more expensive and skilled your editor is, and  the higher they’ll likely charge. From a freelance site, a podcast editing project can cost around $10 to a few hundred dollars. 

While the lower end of this doesn’t sound like a lot, it can add up if you create multiple episodes and prefer more professional edits. We’d say that a better way to get similar results is by using an online automated editor like Riverside. You’ll be able to create professional podcasts, no matter your skill level – and in less than half the time.

While the old way of editing podcasts took hours, with Riverside, editing a podcast becomes as easy as editing a text document. Our Editor uses AI transcriptions, so any text you delete in your transcript automatically removes matching audio and video in your podcast recording. You can then use our AI tools to polish your audio, create shareable clips or full episodes, plus show notes, all in a few quick clicks. 

A podcast editor is someone who will turn your recordings into polished episodes. They’ll usually fix your audio, trim your recording into a narrative structure, add sound effects, and more. While you’ll get a professional podcast using a podcast editing service, this is not your fastest or most affordable choice. 

Luckily, with Riverside, you don’t need to spend hours editing, and you don’t need to be a pro either.  Our online podcast editor will turn your recordings into full episodes with simple clicks. 

As AI grows in popularity, you’ll find that more and more podcast editors are adopting AI features. Riverside is paving the way, and you’ll find numerous AI podcast editing tools on our platform. With AI transcriptions, audio fine-tuning, captions, and automated show notes, you’ll have all you need to create a full podcast episode in a few simple clicks. Our Magic Clips tool uses AI to turn your recordings’ key moments into multiple short, shareable videos.
