Overview

Cutting video to the right soundbite is slow if you only scrub the timeline. Transcribe first, find the line, note the timestamp, then cut in CapCut, Premiere, or your NLE with confidence.

This page routes your MP4 or MOV into File Transcribe’s Video to text flow so speech becomes a map of the recording.

Text as a rough cut

Editors use transcripts as an assembly guide. Students use them to skip to lecture segments. Marketers use them to find hooks. Start with upload here.

When to use this

  • Social clips

    Locate the hook line, then cut a short vertical clip.

  • Webinar highlights

    Pull Q&A moments without rewatching two hours.

  • Captioned excerpts

    Export SRT for the full file or rebuild cues for a short.

  • Review notes

    Share transcript sections with timestamps for feedback.
