What does this workflow do?

Transcript-based video editing connects each word in a transcript to a point in the recording. Selecting or changing a spoken passage can guide clip boundaries and captions, making dialogue-heavy video easier to navigate than waveform-only editing.

What you can create

Text-guided clip selection

Locate an answer, quote, or explanation by reading and searching its spoken words.

Corrected caption copy

Fix names, brands, punctuation, and specialist terms in the transcript.

Precise short-video edits

Use word timing to tighten the beginning and ending of a selected clip.

Frequently asked questions

Does editing the transcript change the video?

Transcript text can guide clip selection and caption corrections. Preview the resulting media edit to confirm exactly what changed.

Can I search for a word or topic?

Yes. Search the transcript for exact wording or use a descriptive prompt when the speaker may use different terms.

Can I correct names and technical terms?

Yes. The transcript and captions are editable before the final render.

Is transcript editing enough for every video?

No. Visual continuity, reactions, slides, B-roll, and speaker changes still require video review.
