Usually there is an endless sequence that goes like this: export out a video cut, share it with the team for comments, implement the notes, and export out again. That cycle continues ad nauseum. Simon Says has put an end to the endless feedback loops. Text-based video editing pulls together soundbites for your story and creates the foundation for your audio or video edit, collaboratively from the web. Using artificial intelligence to transcribe your recordings, you can quickly turn interview footage into rough cuts saving hours of post-production time. Yes, hours! Highlight soundbites and drag and drop them into place: it is as easy to do as editing a doc. That means you can put more energy into the creative elements that bring your story to life versus finding alternative lines and implementing feedback. In this guide, we’ll show you how to create assembly edits, also known as paper edits or rough cuts, from video transcripts using Simon Says.
