Successfully recording a video podcast episode is just the first step in the process. Now it’s time to edit it down for time, add in B-roll, music, maybe some effects, and make sure the sound levels are good. Although much, if not all, of the work can be done on a laptop, there is much to be said about working from a large screen when editing video. Having a large screen experience can not only optimize your workflow by allowing you to better track your clips, but it can also enhance the recording experience itself. So, if you’re wondering where to start or how to upgrade your gear, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.
