What is Loki Studio?
Loki Studio is a complete workflow automation tool for getting videos from raw footage to YouTube, automating as much grunt work as possible. It handles video editing (with a "quick and dirty" built-in editor), transcription, caption generation, thumbnail creation, metadata generation, and YouTube uploads - all in one tool.
⚡ THE KILLER FEATURE: Multi-Track Audio Intelligence
Loki Studio is the ONLY tool that preserves separate audio tracks throughout your entire workflow - from recording to editing to transcription to metadata generation to upload.
Why this matters:
When you record gaming videos with OBS, you capture multiple audio streams (your commentary on one track, game audio on another). Every other tool either:
- ❌ Merges them into one track (losing valuable information)
- ❌ Forces you to choose one track (ignoring the rest)
- ❌ Transcribes all tracks equally (treating game sounds as important as your voice)
Loki Studio's intelligent approach:
- Preserves all tracks through editing, cutting, and merging
- Transcribes each track separately with full context awareness
- Weighted metadata generation: 70% weight on your voice commentary, 30% on game audio context
- Intelligent content classification: Prioritizes what matters (your words) while maintaining context (game events)
Real-World Example:
If you're playing X4 Foundations and say "I'm attacking the Xenon station," while game audio plays explosion sounds and NPC dialogue, the metadata will focus on YOUR narrative ("attacking Xenon station strategy") rather than treating explosion sounds as equally important.
Complete End-to-End Automation
Multi-track intelligence flows through the entire pipeline:
- ✅ Record - Capture multiple audio streams (OBS, Shadowplay, etc.)
- ✅ Edit - Timeline editor preserves all audio tracks through cuts and merges
- ✅ Transcribe - Parallel processing of all tracks (29x realtime on RTX 4090)
- ✅ Generate Metadata - Weighted combination (70% voice, 30% context) for optimal titles/descriptions/tags
- ✅ Create Thumbnails - Smart frame selection with customizable overlays
- ✅ Upload to YouTube - Batch scheduling with profile-based automation
Time savings: 50+ minutes per video on transcription, description writing, and manual uploads.
Two Workflows, One Tool
Simple Creators (One-Stop Shop)
For creators who only need basic cuts and audio adjustments:
- Record your raw footage
- Edit in Loki Studio - Quick cuts, audio adjustments
- Transcribe - AI-powered with Whisper
- Generate captions - Perfectly synced
- Create thumbnails - AI-assisted
- Generate metadata - AI-powered titles, descriptions, tags
- Upload to YouTube - Batch upload with scheduling
No other tools needed.
Advanced Creators (Extended Workflow)
For creators wanting professional effects and transitions:
- Edit in Premiere/DaVinci - Effects, color grading
- Export EDL from Premiere (your edit timeline)
- Import EDL into Loki Studio - Matches your cuts
- Transcribe - Perfect timestamp alignment
- Generate captions - Syncs with Premiere export
- Upload to YouTube - With auto-generated metadata
Why not use Premiere's built-in captions? They're beastly to work with. Loki Studio provides automated caption sync that just works.
Who Should Use Loki Studio?
- ✅ YouTube creators who edit in professional NLEs and need perfect captions
- ✅ Content teams using EDL workflows for caption alignment
- ✅ Gaming channels with frequent uploads needing fast turnaround
- ✅ Educational creators requiring accurate transcripts of edited content
- ✅ Podcast editors syncing transcripts with final cuts
Technical Advantages
- Multi-track audio preservation: Maintains separate audio streams through entire workflow
- Weighted transcription: Intelligent prioritization of voice commentary (70%) vs context audio (30%)
- Parallel transcription: Multiple tracks processed simultaneously
- Stream copying: Extracts clips without re-encoding (50-100x faster)
- Frame-accurate EDL parsing: Perfect timeline match with Premiere exports
- C++ performance modules: Native FFmpeg integration (Heimdall, Mímir, Huginn, Freyja)
- GPU-accelerated transcription: 29x realtime on RTX 4090 with large-v3 model
- Batch automation: Process dozens of videos overnight
Summary
By preserving separate audio tracks throughout your entire workflow and using weighted transcription (70% voice, 30% context), Loki Studio generates YouTube metadata that accurately represents YOUR commentary and personality - not just generic mixed audio. Combined with GPU-accelerated transcription (29x realtime), C++ performance modules, and complete workflow automation, you save 50+ minutes per video while achieving dramatically better SEO and more engaging content.
Perfect for gaming channels: Your voice commentary drives the metadata, while game audio provides context. No other tool separates what YOU said from what the GAME said.
