AI Video Editing: Speaker View

Jay Tomlinson
I saw the team over at Riverside announce this feature recently. Here's how they describe it on their Magic Editor page (https://riverside.fm/magic-editor), "AI Speaker View analyzes the recording and automatically switches whoever is speaking into full screen 1 second before they speak, making for a seamless transition. By analyzing the recording, AI Speaker View switches the video if someone actually speaks, and not for unwanted interruption like a sneeze. We are the first in the world to automate this."
The Riverside feature only works on unedited video recorded straight into their system but it would really be better utilized AFTER the multitrack recording has been edited. That's where Descript could shine with a feature like this available to implement after cleaning up the original recordings and just before export.

It would be amazing to have the same features that AutoPod offers where AI can detect the different camera angles or speakers and automatically cut back and forth between guests for you! This is the most time-intensive part of my editing and I would happily pay more in subscription if this was offered. This would be amazing to have out in the future!

Please prioritize this feature. You already know who is speaking because of the transcription, so just have the multi-track video switch and follow the active speaker. This would simplify workflows for podcasts massively if we could do it all in Descript.
