Community Workshop: Editing for Video & Audio

This session is part of our Riverside Community Workshop series. In each workshop, one creator from the Riverside community shares their methods, tips, and workflows to help teach and inspire you. For this session, we’re joined by Steve Stewart, co-founder of the Podcast Editors Academy and a veteran editor who has helped countless podcasters sharpen their sound and polish their content. Steve isn’t just about making edits — he’s passionate about the why behind editing, and the principles that make content truly engaging. In this workshop, we’ll dive into: - The core differences between editing for video vs. audio audiences - Steve’s “CRAPP” method (Crutches, Repeats, Accidents, and Pregnant Pauses) — and how to cut it cleanly - Smart strategies for editing ads so they blend seamlessly with your content - Big-picture editing principles that help you connect with your audience, not just polish your files This is more than just a technical how-to. It’s a conversation about editing as a creative craft. Come ready to learn, ask questions, and rethink how you approach your edits to help you walk away with practical tips to make your audio and video shine.
