How hard is it to edit your own podcast? Tempted to edit my own to save $$$. Also tempted to use professional editors due to time & professional look.

I film using Riverside, know how to use Capcut and know how to use Canva.

    Depends on how you set it up, honestly.

    I can record a podcast episode and release within about 30 minutes if it’s solo.

    I record in OBS, and have a mess of audio filters in place to remove most of the post-processing requirements for audio.

    I drop it into audacity to clean up the audio the filters miss (but no cuts - full length), loudness normalize to -19lufs, hard limit -1.0db, export it as a .wav, drop it into adobe with the video and then add my intro/outro clips, produce the video and THEN go into the single track recording and cut out silences and ramblings.

    Back in the audio only file in audacity I add the intro/outro, cut the ramblings and silences and export as a fixed rate mp3.

    Both of these take less than an hour for a 30-40 minute solo podcast.

    The recording filters help a LOT.
