Cut video editing time from hours to minutes
Tired of dragging your cursor back and forth and finding the exact moment to cut? Timeline editing feels like looking for a needle in a haystack—scrubbing, zooming, playing, stopping, and starting over. Transcript-based video editing fixes this headache. Edit your video through its transcript. Modify the transcript, and your video will update right away. What used to take hours now takes minutes.
You can easily remove all those "ums" and awkward pauses, move sections around, or trim content with simple transcript editing. Turn long podcasts, interviews, and tutorials into polished content. Or highlight excerpts and export them for sharing on social media. VEED's transcript-based video editor helps you work faster. Try it now for free.
How to edit videos with scripts:
Step 01
Upload video
Add your video with speech and click the ‘Edit with Script’ button above the timeline. Click the auto-transcribe button to create a text version of your footage.
Step 02
Edit through text
Edit your video by modifying the transcript: delete unwanted sections or copy and paste to reorder scenes. Refine your message as easily as editing a document.
Step 03
Enhance and export
Click the settings to remove silences (short, long, or custom duration) and filler words with one click. Add finishing touches like text, your logo, or background music. Then, click ‘Done’ to export your polished video.
