Video editing

Turn the show into clips people actually watch.

Edit video next to your voice, music and imaging lanes. Add captions, make vertical versions that follow the talker, and let ProdHQ cut to whoever's speaking. In Studio or right in your browser.

Captions

Word by word, the way social video looks.

Every size

Widescreen, square and vertical from one edit.

Export all 3

One click makes 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for the feed and 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

Auto-Reframe

Turn a widescreen talking head into vertical or square video that keeps the talker in frame, with smooth moves.

Follow faces

The square and vertical versions can follow the faces in each camera, so nobody gets cropped out.

Podcast video

Let ProdHQ do the cutting.

Auto multicam

Select your camera clips. ProdHQ listens to each person's mic and cuts to whoever is talking, with a wide shot for crosstalk.

Split two speakers

One wide shot of two people becomes two close-up "cameras", cut by who's talking.

9:16 stacked podcast

Two people in one wide shot become a vertical video: one on top, one on the bottom, each followed by face.

Punch-ins

Automatic zoom-ins on the big moments.

Camera color match

Make every camera look the same with one click.

Audiograms

Turn an audio clip into an animated waveform video for promoting a show or spot.

Finishing

Titles, looks and moves.

Now-playing lower thirds

One click puts title and artist on every song, read from SCOT cart data or file tags.

55 transitions

Plus a plain cut. On a picture-in-picture clip, the transition stays inside that clip's box.

Picture-in-picture and masks

Place, crop and shape clips, add track mattes and text windows.

Speed ramps and freeze frames

25% to 400%, slow-mo middles, speed-up outs, and 1–5 second freezes.

Film and tape looks

VHS, light leaks, film burns and 12 built-in film looks.

Face tools

Blur or pixelate faces and logos, smooth skin, or blur the background without a green screen.

Where it runs

Desk or browser.

Studio (Windows)

The full VIDEO workspace with MASTER and CLIP monitors, Motion Editor, and H.264 MP4 or MOV export (or GIF).

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit

Express, Mobile and Tablet

Video sessions in the browser with the same captions, transitions and face tools, exporting WebM or MP4 when your browser supports it.

Chrome or Edge on desktop; phones and tablets in landscape
Questions

Straight answers.

Do captions need an internet connection?

Only once. The first time, ProdHQ downloads a free speech model (Studio: about 150 MB or 490 MB; Express: about 80 MB). After that, transcription works offline and your audio never leaves your computer.

Can I make vertical videos for Shorts, Reels and TikTok?

Yes. Auto-Reframe turns a widescreen clip into 9:16 or 1:1 that follows the talker, and Export all 3 makes the widescreen, square and vertical versions in one go.

Can it cut between cameras automatically?

Yes. Auto Multicam listens to each person's mic and cuts to whoever is talking. The edit is made of normal clips, so you can change any shot.

What formats can I export?

Studio exports H.264 MP4 or MOV with audio, or a silent GIF. Express, Mobile and Tablet export WebM, or MP4 when the browser supports it.

Does face tracking work live?

No. Face tools work on recorded clips, where ProdHQ can look at the whole clip to keep framing smooth.
