How do I edit a long podcast by deleting text?

Import the episode and Max Editor transcribes it on your PC or Android. You see the full text; when you delete a word or a sentence, that stretch is turned off in the video instantly. You can restore it any time because nothing is removed from the timeline.

Does it remove filler words and silences on its own?

Yes. Automatic cleanup turns off filler, silences and repetition and shows you what it did. A critic pass then scores the result and flags what to review. You accept or correct; the score measures, it never blocks.

How does it pick the clips?

The AI reads the transcript with editorial judgment: what adds value, what is redundant, and how to group the best moments by topic. It proposes ready sequences with in and out points and reframes them to vertical with captions.

Can I do this from my phone?

Yes. On Android the app transcribes, cleans up, stabilizes, reframes and exports on the GPU with no PC. On Windows, Max Companion, a free app, does the same.

What does a two-hour episode cost?

The subscription is flat: $15, $45 or $65 a month depending on the plan, with no minutes or hours. Transcription, reframe and export use no AI. Editorial judgment uses your OpenAI key, about $1.30 per hour of material at list price.

For video podcasts

What happens to a long episode inside Max Editor

Built for people who record one or two hours of conversation a week and need the show plus several clips without spending a day on a timeline.

The problem

A two-hour episode holds twenty minutes of filler, silences and repetition, and five or six moments worth a clip. Finding them by scrubbing is what eats the day.

How Max Editor solves it

It transcribes word by word on your device. It cleans filler, silences and repetition and shows them turned off, not deleted. It reads the transcript with editorial judgment and proposes thematic sequences: the opening block, each topic, the best answer. Each one is reframed to 9:16 following the speaker and ships with captions in 24 styles. A second critic pass scores the cleanup and flags what to review.

With a two-hour episode

Import (file, or the YouTube link of the published episode). Transcription on your PC or phone, no AI spend.
Automatic cleanup: filler, silences and repetition are turned off in plain sight.
The AI proposes sequences with the best moments. Open each one, delete or restore words.

What to expect and when it is not the right tool

A clean show and five to ten vertical clips per episode, with the same judgment every week.
If the episode is audio-only and you will not publish video or clips, a dedicated audio editor serves you better.
If you record with several cameras and need synced multicam, Max Editor currently works on one main video per project.
Pricing: Basic $15/month, Pro $45, Unlimited $65. Editorial AI uses your OpenAI key, around $1.30 per hour of material.
