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
• Makes it easy to involve non-editors (e.g., clients or marketers)
• Enables faster exports to tools like Adobe Premiere
