PodPipe for macOS · one click

Raw podcast in. Clean edit out.

PodPipe transcribes your recording, cuts every retake down to the last clean take, strips the stammers and dead air, and opens DaVinci Resolve fully edited.

The stack PodPipe drives

How it works

Four steps. You only do the first one.

Drop a video in and walk away. Everything below happens on its own, in order, and ends with Resolve open on the finished timeline.

A video file being dragged into the PodPipe window
Step 01

Drop the raw recording in

Pick a file, paste a Google Drive link, or drag the video anywhere onto the window. Multi-hour, 100 GB+ camera masters are fine — nothing gets copied or re-encoded.

Then walk away — the rest is automatic.

Step 02

It transcribes every word

ElevenLabs Scribe turns the audio into a word-timed SRT. Not a rough transcript — every single word carries its own in and out point, which is what makes frame-accurate cutting possible later.

Output: a word-timed SRT you keep

Five takes of the same line, the last one kept and the rest struck out
Step 03

It keeps only the last clean take

Read the same line five times? PodPipe spots the repeats and throws away everything but the final one. Stammers, cut-off words, "sorry, my bad", throat-clears and crew chatter go too — even when they share a subtitle cue with good audio.

Output: a reviewable, timestamped cut list

A clean DaVinci Resolve timeline with colour markers
Step 04

DaVinci opens, already edited

PodPipe launches Resolve, imports your original media, drops colour markers at every decision, and builds the clean timeline — gapless, cut on the footage's own frame rate. You land in the edit, not the paperwork.

Output: a finished timeline on your original source

The PodPipe app window: a Source row with Choose File and Google Drive, and a Progress panel
The whole app — 3 MB, no browser, no Electron. Pick a source; the Activity log does the rest.

What it does

The whole edit, before you touch a timeline.

PodPipe knows your finished transcript up front — so applying the cuts produces exactly that, at word precision.

01

Keep-last-take cuts

Re-read a line five times? PodPipe detects the repeats and cuts everything but the final clean take — reviewable, timestamped.

02

Word-level cleanup

Stammers, cut-off words, "sorry my bad", throat-clears and crew chatter get removed even when they share a subtitle cue.

03

Auto transcription

ElevenLabs Scribe turns your video into a word-timed SRT. No manual subtitling, no separate step.

04

Straight into DaVinci

It launches Resolve, imports the clip, drops color markers, and builds the clean timeline on your original source.

05

Instant deliverables

SRT, analysis JSON and the final-edit transcript are downloadable the moment they're generated.
