How It Works

Import & Transcribe

Upload your audio and video to the website, or with one of our video editor extensions, and they'll swiftly transcribe. We support almost any file format, codec, and language. Import and...done.

Cut Video by Editing Text

Move the project into Simon Says Assemble, our text-based editor and start highlighting the transcript text of the soundbites. Drag and drop them into the desired order to create your rough cut in half the usual time. Really, it's that magical. Try it.

Collaborate

Invite teammates and clients into the user-friendly, web-based editor where they can leave comments and provide feedback. In fact, the whole team can edit together, in real time, so everyone can quickly align on the story. THIS is how collaborating on video was meant to be.

Export

Download an MP4, export captions, and export the edit's XML back to Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid Media Composer. The timeline/sequence seamlessly reconnects to the source media, at the original in and out points, so you can polish and complete the film in your usual tools. Boom. Happy dance time! πŸ’ƒ
