Highlight to Edit Basics

What is Highlight to Edit?

Highlight to Edit allows you to:

• Work directly from a high-accuracy transcript (we support more than 100 languages and dialects, see Supported Languages & Dialects)
• Select dialogue segments to instantly clip video
• Build rough cuts, highlights, or scene bins without needing an editor
• Organize clips into collections for later use

It’s a fast, accessible way to begin editing from speech.

Where do I find this feature?

You’ll find it in the left-hand navigation bar, just click the pen icon labeled “Highlight to Edit”.

How do I use Highlight to Edit?

1. Click “Add Video” and choose a long-form piece of content.
2. A transcript will automatically appear.
3. Highlight any part of the transcript and click on “Clip”, the corresponding video segment is clipped instantly.
4. Select one or more clips and add them to a new or existing collection (e.g., “Rough Cuts”), or use them later in exports or in Adobe Premiere.

What other tools are available in Highlight to Edit?

1. Chapters, automatically segments your video into 1–5 minute scenes. Great for selecting full scenes or segments at once; you can clip chapters directly.
2. Download and Edit Transcript/Captions, fix minor errors (e.g., name misspellings or misheard words). Updates are reflected in exported SRT files (used for Adobe, captions, social sharing, etc.).
3. Adjust Text Size, easily enlarge or shrink the transcript font for better readability while editing.

Why use Highlight to Edit?

• Speeds up the first pass edit or assembly phase
• Useful for building bins before handing off to post-production

• Enables faster exports to tools like Adobe Premiere
