Although this would be my first actual job, I have been editing videos for fun/ for birthdays etc. What I have learned is that editing can take more time than is expected and can also be daunting but at the end it is very rewarding.

My process for editing a video and audio podcast episode is a multi-stage process that ensures a high-quality, engaging final product. First, I review all raw footage and audio, creating a project file and organizing all assets.Next, I focus on audio: reducing noise, balancing frequencies with EQ, compressing for consistent levels, removing imperfections, and adding intro/outro music. This creates a clean, professional listening experience.For video, I start with a rough cut to establish the structure, followed by a fine cut to refine pacing and add visual elements like graphics, text overlays, and B-roll. I'd then do color correction and grading.If the audio and video are separate, I carefully sync them. I then review the entire episode, get feedback, make revisions, and then export the final files with optimized settings. Throughout, I'd ensure the editing aligns with the 'Diary of a SHE.E.O.' brand, focusing on clarity, professionalism, and highlighting key insights relevant to the target audience.

To grow the 'Diary of a SHE.E.O.' podcast audience, especially on social media, I'd focus on a multi-pronged strategy: Content Repurposing: I'd create audiograms, quote cards, and short video clips from each episode for various platforms. We could also transform episodes into blog posts for more marketing. Engagement: Asking questions, running polls, and hosting live Q&A sessions with guests will foster a strong community.Collaboration: Partnering with guests for promotion and exploring cross-promotion with other relevant podcasts will expand our reach. Data-Driven Optimization: I'd consistently analyze social media metrics to understand what resonates with the audience and refine the strategy accordingly.
