The new Zencastr editing "UI" is harder to use
Basically it's all AI now.
Once you record or upload an episode, the new interface forces you to talk to a chatbot before you can do any editing or postproduction - it'll do some "content checks", apply audio normalization, and then make you pick a video template (there were no templates). You can theoretically still edit episodes through something resembling the classic postproduction and publishing workflow but we couldn't find it ☹️
Zencastr has a blog post (published this Friday) explaining the changes. Honestly, there might be people out there who like the chat UI or find it easier to use, but our game master strongly prefers not to use AI tools in any way and they've made the postproduction UI nearly impossible to use without going through the chatbot.
The public UI has also been all sorts of broken since they launched the "new Zencastr"; our public podcast page only displays the 10 most recent episodes 😬
I can't attach images so I'll find a way to make screenshots available if requested!
