Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Podeo and Descript for podcast video?

Descript is fundamentally a text-based editor — you edit by editing a transcript. Its AI video feature is designed for short, scripted content. Podeo is purpose-built for podcast episodes: long-form, multi-speaker, unscripted audio that needs automatic visual assembly without a word limit.

Does Podeo replace Descript entirely?

For podcast video production, yes. If you also use Descript for podcasting workflows like removing filler words or editing by transcript, you might keep both. But for the video output, Podeo does more automatically.

How does Podeo handle multi-speaker episodes?

Our AI performs speaker diarization — it identifies and separates speakers throughout the episode. Chapter cards, lower-thirds, and visual rhythm resets are applied per-speaker automatically.

Can Podeo handle interview-format podcasts with 3 or more guests?

Yes. Podeo handles any number of speakers and any episode length up to 3 hours. The visual pacing adapts to conversation dynamics throughout.
