Introducing our Timeline Editor
Today, we're launching our Advanced Timeline Editor, one of the most powerful and requested features in Jellypod's history.
This new editor interface gives you the ability to directly manipulate audio segments in a familiar track-based audio timeline, bringing more control and precision to AI podcasting. More of your production workflow can now live entirely within Jellypod, without needing to export your episode to Premiere Pro, Audition, or iMovie for final touches.
What's New
Visual Timeline Interface
Collapsed by default, the new timeline contains every audio segment from your hosts, appearing within an audio track that can be directly manipulated.
You can now drag segments to add natural pauses and gaps between speakers. Need a dramatic two-second pause before a big reveal? Simply drag the segments apart. Want tighter pacing or make speakers overlap? Now you can. Every adjustment updates in real-time and stays in sync with your transcript for a powerful, visual editing experience.
Precise Volume Control
Each individual audio block's volume can now be adjusted. Just click and drag on the horizontal volume bar within the audio segment to modify the volume level for that block.
Also, you can now easily add intro music, outro music, and background music with drag-and-drop simplicity. Unlike before, you now have precise control over placement, duration, and mixing. Background music appears on its own track, and is automatically trimmed to your episode's length, making it easy to see how it layers with your dialogue.
Audio Fading
Just like how you can adjust a segment's volume level, you can also create blocks that fade in or out, perfect for intro or outro music.
No more abrupt starts or jarring endings, your music can now transition smoothly and professionally, just like traditionally produced podcasts. To fade a block, click and drag horizontally from the left or right of an audio segment to see a fade curve appear on your audio.
Multi-Track Layering
One of the most powerful features the timeline enables is the ability to overlap audio layers and mix background music underneath dialogue. The timeline shows each track separately, giving you a clear visual representation of how your audio elements combine. You can adjust the mix until it sounds exactly right.
All of this power lives alongside our signature transcript editing experience and can still work entirely in text and only expand the timeline when necessary for more granular control. The choice is yours!
Getting Started
The Timeline Editor is now available to all Jellypod users within the episode creation flow. To use the timeline, first generate your audio and then click "Expand Timeline" at the bottom left corner of the page.
You can select, drag, and reposition each audio segment, while the audio automatically stays in sync with your transcript. Use the volume controls on individual segments to fine-tune levels and add music using the intro, outro, and background music buttons.
The timeline works seamlessly with your existing workflow and can be collapsed when you don't need it.
This is Day 2 of Jellypod Launch Week and tomorrow we'll unveil another heavily feature - stay tuned!
