   • Sync the audio with the video.
      
2. Multi-Cam Editing
   
   • Switch between master, left, and right camera angles appropriately based on the conversation flow, emotions, and expressions.
      
3. Color Grading
   
   • Apply professional color grading to ensure a consistent and polished look across all angles.
      
4. Motion Graphics & Animations
   
   • Add relevant motion graphics and simple animations where needed to make the video more engaging.
   • This could include name tags, lower-thirds, titles, transitions, etc.
      
5. B-Rolls & Visual Enhancements
   
   • Insert relevant B-roll footage that aligns with the conversation/context.
   • Ensure smooth integration without disrupting the flow of the podcast.
      
6. Sound Effects & Audio Treatment

   • Balance and enhance audio for clarity.
      
7. Overall Quality
   
   • Ensure the final output feels polished, engaging, and ready to publish.
