Tenth Street Kitchen — rough cut / Episode 12

Episode 12 — knife care, unabridged
MARA
Next thing, and this is the one I get asked about most, one good knife.
Now, contrary to what the catalogue tells you, you really only need one good knife per person in the house. Two of us here, so we have two good knives.
Picking a good knife is a little bit tricky. But keep in mind this is going to be your multi-tool.
It becomes, you know, an extension of your arm in the kitchen. So you want the handle to sit right. You want to be able to chop for an hour without thinking about it.
I use mine for everything. Opening a parcel. Spreading butter on toast at seven in the morning. Stirring, flipping, chopping. Um, what else have I used it for — I've used it as a back scratcher. So, sometimes you're in the zone and things are just moving.
I can't have a kitchen without one.

An editor that behaves
like a text document
Nothing new to memorise — Vellum borrows the shortcuts already sitting in your fingers.
Edit the audio by editing the words
Cut, copy, paste. Type a line you never said and hear it back in your own voice.
Stage visuals like a slide deck
Drop into a layout and the frame composes itself around the speaker.
Record, review and publish in one file
Vellum carries the whole workflow through to the master.
Today we're pressing apple cider.
Sweet corn straight off the cob.
Mm — I just drank a whole jar.AI where the tedium is
Overscribe takes the parts nobody wants — the trims, the ums, the eleventh subtitle pass — and leaves the judgement calls to you.
Translation
Ship the same episode in eleven languages without re-recording a syllable.

Camera Gaze
Read straight off the script. The eyeline gets corrected to lens, frame by frame.
Room Tone
Regenerative cleanup lifts a laptop mic to a treated-room take. No foam panels required.
Strip the filler
Every um, uh and "you know" goes in one pass. Roughly nine minutes back per recorded hour.
Matte & replace
No cyc wall, no tape on the floor. Overscribe cuts you out and drops in the plate you picked.
Transcription
Drag in audio or video. A speaker-labelled transcript lands in under a minute.

JUSTINE
Hey everyone, it's Justine — today's video is one a lot of you have asked for, and I've been putting it off for about a year.
So many of you have heard of this app already. It's been around a while and a lot of people in podcasting use it every week.
What I want to do is open a real project, a messy one, and see whether the transcript actually holds up when the edit gets complicated.
