Gemelli Studio

Podcast Studio

Private Beta

Record, review, edit, and prepare solo podcast episodes in one guided workspace. Podcast Studio is the first module in the Gemelli Studio platform.

Start here: Record your episode, review marked moments, remove only what you approve, then download your edited audio and notes package.
Podcast Studio Private Beta
Record: choose your look, paste your script, start camera/mic, record a short test, then replay it. Use one step at a time. Advanced editing tools are tucked away until you need them.
Auto-save ready.

Record your episode

Set up your camera and microphone, load your script, record your episode, and mark anything you want to review later.

Checking transcript support…
Choose Start camera/mic to allow the browser to list your devices.
Speaker testNot playing

When you click Test output, this bar should light up while the app plays a tone. If the bar lights up but you hear nothing, the issue is your selected output, computer sound settings, or sound card/headphone volume.

For live monitoring, use headphones connected to the sound card. Speaker monitoring can create echo or feedback.

Customize studio details

Set the default names used in this workspace and in your episode notes package. These settings save in this browser.

Customization is local to this browser for now. Account-level branding can be added later for subscriptions.

Look and camera setup

Choose a cleaner background, a softer studio look, and a framing guide before you record.

No custom background uploaded.
Use Soft Studio and a professional preset background for a polished starting point, then run a quick studio check. For cleaner shoulders and neck edges, keep Low-light safe mode on unless your room is very bright.
How to change the background
  1. Click Start camera/mic so the preview is active.
  2. Choose Background mode: Preset, Blur, Uploaded, or None.
  3. For a built-in look, choose a Preset background.
  4. For your own image, click Upload custom background, then choose My uploaded background.
  5. Use Brightness, Warmth, and Contrast to soften the camera image.
  6. Click Save default look after you find a setup you like.

Teleprompter reader

Paste your script, outline, or transcript here. Load it, then use Presenter mode to move the reader closer to your camera lens while recording.

Scripts save in this browser so you can come back later without pasting again.

Use the preset buttons instead of dragging the slider. Try Teaching 3.5 first; then tap Slower or Faster one step at a time.

Load your script or outline to read it directly above the camera.
Pace 3.5 Text 24px
Press Esc or click Exit Presenter Mode to return to the studio.

Use the on-screen Mark edit button to avoid loud keyboard clicks during recording. Soft clicks may still be captured depending on microphone placement. Keyboard shortcuts still work while recording: P pause/resume, M mark edit, [ slower, ] faster, - smaller text, = larger text.

Primary recording controls Use these during setup and recording.

Studio idle 00:00.000

Start your camera and microphone before recording.

Studio/camera tools Use these when you need to adjust the view.
Camera not started yet. Use Start camera/mic first, then use Show camera preview if you need to bring the preview back.
After recording actions Use these after you finish a take.
Replay the take first, reload it into the editor for cleanup, or download the raw backup as your original safety copy.

The raw recording backup is your original unedited recording/media file. Keep it as a safety copy before making edits or clearing browser data.

After you stop recording, the app automatically loads the take into the editor for previewing and cleanup. Use Replay last recording to review it, and use Save recording only when you want to keep the take in this browser.

Live transcription uses your browser’s speech recognition when available. If it is not supported, the recording still works and you can import captions later.

Marked moments

Use this when you clicked Mark edit, restarted a sentence, or stepped away from the camera without pausing.

Marked edits
Marker cards show nearby context, not always the exact words to remove. Restart cards are strongest when they show a likely wrong phrase and a likely corrected phrase. Only remove the actual wrong phrase, not the whole context block; use Prepare this cut and fine-tune the start/end times before adding the removal.
Click Show marked moments after recording or loading captions. Markers come from Mark edit or the M shortcut while recording.

Ready to Publish

Use this area to review the final edited episode, download the edited audio, and save the notes package you may need before publishing.

Step 1 — Preview edited episode

Watch/listen in the Review player. The player will skip sections you marked for removal, but this preview does not create an edited video file yet.

Step 2 — Download edited audio

Downloads the edited WAV audio file with approved removals applied. Listen to this file before publishing your episode audio.

This is the edited audio file. The notes package below is not the media file.

Step 3 — Save edit manifest

Saves a JSON record of your approved cuts and source media details for future video rendering or review.

This manifest is a planning/review file. It does not replace the edited audio download.

Step 4 — Save future video request

Saves a JSON request that a future backend renderer can use to create an edited MP4. This does not render video yet.

This request is not an edited video file and does not upload your media.

No edited preview running. Add removals first, then preview the edited episode.
Edited audio downloads as a WAV file. True edited video export is planned, but not available yet. If the audio download fails, this box will explain what happened.

Ready to Publish checklist

This checklist is a final review step for the edited episode and supporting files before you publish anywhere else.

Complete the checklist as you finish your episode.
