Hey, this is Nahaila from, You Can Learn to Edit! This is a podcast series where I discuss different podcast editing topics. Please like, share ,and subscribe to this podcast.  So you finished your awesome podcast. You said all you needed to say, but what are you going to edit your podcast with? That is what we're talking about today. So here are five free apps that you can use to edit your podcast, audio, or slash and video . 

Number one, Wondershare Filmora. With this app, you can edit; you can edit out tangents; add music; add captions; fix the audio all for free. They offer a ton of things like royalty-free, stock media; visual effects plugins; and plenty of templates. We love a good template. They have a paid subscription if you want to upgrade, and enjoy other paid features that they offer. 

Number two, Riverside. With Riverside, you can do some basic editing ; edit out your tangents; add intro and outro music; remove background sound, and fix the audio levels all for free. You can also export your video to other software editing apps if you choose: very seamless. And if you need a little bit more, you can also upgrade to the paid plans that allow you to do a little more, heavy duty, recording, and some extra editing. 

Number three, WeVideo. WeVideo allows you to edit videos for free and add some music. In the free plan, they also offer screen recording; voiceover; Gif creator; export audio only. That's basically, if you wanna just extract the audio: no video, they offer that. Multiple video formats, save to any device; free templates, exported resolution of 480 P and one gig of storage. You can export your edit video directly to other social media platforms as well. Really nice feature! There is a publishing limit of five minutes with the basic plan. So if you need something longer, look into upgrading to the paid plans. 

Number four: Canva. I am actually recording this podcast using Canva. So besides being an award-winning graphic design app. Canva also has a feature that allows you to record video and edit. You can add filters to the video; add in some music, and lower the sound. If you don't need to do any heavy duty editing, Canva is a great option for quick edits and music add-ons .Consider upgrading to the paid plans and you'll be able to do a little bit more with your video editing. 

Number five: Descript. Descript has a free plan that allows you to do some basic editing, and other heavy duty editing. I do love using Descript. I use it all the time for recording and editing. I use the basic plan and they also have a paid plan that gives you a lot more for a good price. Descript, in the basic plan, it offers editing; and it gives you transcription: three hours of transcription; full audio and video editing; unlimited screen recordings; overdub trial, and studio sound effect. Guys, studio sound effect is so good! It makes your podcast sound so professional. If you don't have an expensive mic, or a mic that has a very good quality; studio sound makes your mic sound like you paid a whole lot of money for it. If you have never edited before, Descript is the way to go. It's so easy to use, and you will enjoy editing as you learn.
