Comparison

Black Hat Editor Tools or AutoPod?

Both automate multicam editing in Premiere Pro. The difference is not the quality of the multicam, it is what surrounds it. Here is enough to decide in two minutes.

What AutoPod does better

🎥

Up to 10 cameras and 10 microphones

AutoPod states on its site that it works "for up to 10 cameras and 10 microphones". We stop at 8 speakers. Past eight, the question is settled.

🎯

Three modules, one job

Multi-Camera Editor, Jump Cut Editor, Social Clip Creator. Less surface to learn, and every module is built for podcasts and nothing else.

📚

A head start on multicam

AutoPod is installed in a lot of podcast studios, with the tutorials, habits and shared settings that come with being there first.

Our strong suit

What we add on top

🧩

Multicam is one tool out of fourteen

Transcription from seven providers, 63 timestamped insights, 80 caption styles, video generation, search across six media libraries. Same panel, same subscription.

AI video generation lives in the timeline

Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Sora 2 and more than fourteen other models, at your sequence ratio, dropped at the playhead. AutoPod does not generate video.

🤖

An agent that drives the edit

Ask AI runs Claude Code on your machine, with your own Claude subscription. You describe what you want, it does it on the timeline.

How it works

How to decide

  1. 01

    Nine or ten cameras, and nothing else to do

    Take AutoPod. We cap at eight speakers, and a cap is not something arguments get around.

  2. 02

    Podcasts, but not only podcasts

    If in one week you cut an episode, two Shorts and a YouTube video, a panel that does all four costs less in time than one tool per task.

  3. 03

    You are still undecided

    Both offer a free trial. Ours runs fourteen days, and the free tier asks for no card at all.

Frequently asked questions

? How many speakers do you handle exactly?

Two to eight, each with their own audio track, camera, colour and role. One camera can take the wide shot role, with an adjustable return interval.

? Does AutoPod work on DaVinci Resolve too?

Their site presents AutoPod as a pack of plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro. We are a Premiere Pro plugin only as well. On DaVinci, neither of us will do.

? Can I use both?

Nothing stops you technically: they are two separate Premiere Pro extensions. Plenty of editors keep the multicam tool they know and add the rest.

? When was this information gathered?

The AutoPod details were taken from autopod.fm on 12 September 2026. Products change: check their site before deciding.
