Transcript-Based Editing

Editing video by editing its text transcript — delete a sentence and the matching footage is removed.

Transcript-based editing turns a video into an editable document: the tool transcribes the audio, and cutting or rearranging words cuts or rearranges the underlying footage. It makes editing feel like writing, which is far faster than dragging clips on a timeline.

It's especially good for tightening talking-head content, removing tangents, and pulling quotable moments.
