podswitch vs AutoPod
Both cut multicam podcasts from separate microphone tracks. AutoPod is a set of plug-ins that works inside Premiere Pro, with a DaVinci Resolve version. podswitch runs in your browser, uploads the audio, not the video and hands the cut to Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, with AI-picked social clips on paid plans.

Where AutoPod is stronger
- It works inside Premiere Pro itself, so there is no file to import or folder path to set.
- Up to 10 cameras and 10 microphones, with settings for how often wide shots appear.
- A Jump Cut Editor for silence cutting, which podswitch does not have.
- A 30-day free trial on monthly billing.
Where podswitch is stronger
- Final Cut Pro: podswitch exports a multicam clip and a pre-cut timeline. AutoPod says it has no plans for Final Cut Pro.
- DaVinci Resolve gets a cut timeline file to import, so nothing has to run inside Resolve. AutoPod’s Resolve version needs Resolve Studio, or the free Resolve 19.0.3 or earlier.
- Your video stays on your computer: the audio is uploaded, not the video, and it is never used to train AI.
- AI suggests the social clips, with a hook, a reason and a score, then cuts the pauses and adds styled captions.
- A dialogue mix with mic bleed removed, and transcripts as TXT, SRT or WebVTT on paid plans.
- A free plan, and paid plans priced in pounds including VAT.

Questions
Does AutoPod work with Final Cut Pro?
No. AutoPod’s pricing page says there are no plans to add Final Cut Pro, Avid or other editors. It needs Premiere Pro 2023 or newer, and it has a DaVinci Resolve version. podswitch exports for Final Cut Pro as a multicam clip, and for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve as a cut timeline.
Do both need a microphone per speaker?
For multicam editing, yes. AutoPod says its Multi-Camera Editor needs separate audio tracks and does not work with a single audio source. For a multicam podcast, podswitch also works from one microphone per speaker, recorded to its own track or file. Extra cameras with no microphone, such as a wide shot, can be added as angles. podswitch can also take a single video-call recording and find who is speaking by voice.
Which is better for social clips?
They work differently. AutoPod’s Social Clip Creator builds 16:9, 4:5 or 9:16 sequences from in and out points you choose. podswitch’s paid plans suggest the clips with AI, remove the pauses, follow the speaker, add styled captions and export each clip as a timeline for your editor.
Is my video uploaded?
podswitch uploads the audio, not the video: your video files stay on your computer. AutoPod runs inside your editor, and we found no statement on its website about what, if anything, it sends to its servers.
How much do they cost?
On 31 October 2026 AutoPod listed $29 a month per licence, with a 30-day free trial on monthly billing. podswitch has a free plan and paid plans priced in pounds, including VAT; the pricing page has the current plans.
