Subtle sound design and transitions for podcast video
Video podcasts that don't sound like a Zoom call
Video podcasts are booming, but most still sound like a raw recording with hard cuts between segments. A little sound design goes a long way — smooth transitions between topics, subtle room ambience that makes the space feel real, and gentle audio cues for segment changes. Effct's Minimal preset is perfect here: it adds just enough sonic texture to feel professional without making your conversation sound like a movie. Upload your episode, and let the AI add the polish your listeners can feel but won't consciously notice.
