Hey podcasters!

We've got some exciting news to share: Alitu now records video!

For years, we've been laser-focused on making audio podcasting ridiculously simple. We've automated the cleanup, simplified the editing, and streamlined the publishing. But we kept hearing one question: "What about video?"

Why We're Adding Video Now

Let's be real - we've deliberately avoided video until now. Not because we couldn't build it, but because we wanted to perfect our audio workflow first. We believe in doing one thing incredibly well before moving to the next.

But we also believe in helping podcasters be heard by more people. And today, video is one more powerful way to grow your audience.

"Video is 100% not required for every show, but we're not blind to the fact that video can be a great tool to grow your podcast," says Jacob, our Head of Growth. "There's no shortage of podcasts now on YouTube doing really well. And ultimately every podcaster wants to have their voice heard by as many people as possible."

What You Can Do Today

Starting right now, you can record 1080p video alongside your audio in Alitu. When you're done, you'll get an MP4 download with all participant videos neatly arranged in a grid - ready to upload straight to YouTube without any additional editing.

And yes, this is included for ALL users at no extra cost. No tiers, no limits, no "success tax."

Still Audio-First at Heart

Don't worry - Alitu is and always will be an audio-first platform, and audio-only podcasts are working as well as ever. There's something beautifully accessible about audio-only podcasting.

But now you can have the best of both worlds: the simplicity of Alitu's audio tools with the reach of video.

What's Coming Next

This is just the first step. We're now working on reflecting your audio edits in your video exports, so when you cut something in your audio, it'll automatically be cut from your video too.

"We're going to do for video podcasts what Alitu has been doing for years for audio - make it radically simpler," says Colin, our founder. "We've spent dozens of hours interviewing podcasters to understand exactly what they need in a video workflow, and we're excited to build it."
