Edit the transcript.The video follows.
Delete a sentence in the transcript and the cut happens on the timeline — word-accurate, ripple-edited, with strikethrough preview before anything is final.
Edit at reading speed
You can read an hour of transcript in minutes; scrubbing the same hour takes the afternoon. Text-based trimming turns the worst part of editing — finding the cut — into a highlight-and-delete motion.
- Word-aligned transcript synced to the timeline at ±50 ms
- Delete words, sentences, or sections — the video ripples closed
- Audio micro-crossfades on every seam, no clicks or pops
- Search the transcript to jump anywhere in the footage
Strikethrough first, cut second
Deletions preview as strikethrough text and skipped playback, so you hear the edit before you commit it. Restore anything with a click — the source footage is never touched.
- Strikethrough preview plays the edit before it's real
- One-click restore on any deleted passage
- Filler and silence cuts from the cleanup agent appear pre-striked for review
- Export the trimmed transcript as show notes
How Text-Based Trimming works
- 1
Open the transcript
Your footage arrives as text, word-aligned to the timeline. Reading is faster than scrubbing — that's the whole trick.
- 2
Strike what goes
Select words, sentences, or whole tangents and hit delete. They strike through first so you can preview the cut in context.
- 3
Commit and ripple
Apply the strikes and the timeline ripples closed — cuts land between words at ±50 ms, with audio crossfaded so seams don't click.
