Transcript, preview and timeline editing in sync

Mapping between the transcript and footage

Turn footage into
editable text first.

After you upload a video, Aixcut turns the speech into text. Read through the content first, then decide what to keep, remove or reorganize.

Generate and proofread the transcript
Locate clips by sentence
Keep text and picture in sync

Delete the sentence,
not just the caption.

Delete a sentence from the transcript and the matching clip is removed as well. Clean up the content first, then check whether the surrounding picture and audio still flow.

Remove repeated statements
Cut mistakes and tangents
Keep the necessary context

Whatever line you mean,
go straight to that clip.

Find a specific moment through the text. Start with a keyword, then replay the full context around it.

Search keywords and sentences
View the surrounding context
Keep refining once located

Whatever line you change,
changes right there.

Text is the entry point for editing and the timeline is the final check. Every change can be reviewed and undone.

Edit the words, edit the video
Check cut points and continuity
Keep the final call yours

Fix one word
and the caption updates too.

Fix recognition errors, typos and punctuation directly, and the captions stay in sync. Multiple clips in one project can also be edited together in the same panel.

You are fixing the text,
not putting words in anyone’s mouth.

From a single line to a full interview.

However much footage there is,
find what is truly worth keeping first.

AI helps with the footage
but leaves the final message to you.

01 / SYNC

Text, picture and audio in sync

Delete a sentence and the matching picture and audio are cut with it. No manual re-aligning needed.

02 / UNDO

Changes can be undone

Restore anything you deleted by mistake so you can review and adjust every cut.

03 / KEEP EDITING

Keep editing after AI is done

AI produces a version you can keep changing, not a finished cut you have to accept as-is.
The control stays with you.

What you might still want to know

What videos suit text-based editing?

Talking-head videos, interviews, lessons, podcasts and other content driven by clear speech.

Does deleting text delete the video too?

Yes. The transcript stays mapped to the clips, so you can keep previewing and adjusting cut points after a delete.

What if the transcript is inaccurate?

Proofread names, terms and key phrases first, then carry on with text-based editing.

Can I return to the timeline afterward?

Yes. Text is great for fast content cleanup, and the timeline lets you fine-tune picture, audio and pacing.

Workflow and capability boundaries

Transcript text links to footage positions. Locate keywords and edit multiple transcripts in one project. Deleting transcript text removes the corresponding video and audio; correcting recognition errors is a separate operation. Ask in chat to remove pauses longer than your chosen number of seconds and undo if needed. Check audio, visuals and caption boundaries; correcting captions is not an automatic picture recut.

Where this capability fits

Locate repeated phrases, mistakes and tangents in the transcript, then check tone and expression in the footage before cutting.

Select a sentence and inspect the linked clip changes. After moving sections, review pronouns, transitions and context.

Use text to choose content, then refine cut boundaries on the timeline for breaths, pauses and visual continuity.

Start with a clear process

01
Generate and proofread the transcript, especially names and technical terms.
02
Mark passages to keep, remove or move, working one section at a time.
03
Play revised passages and joins, checking sound and captions.

Describe what you need

Use this as a starting point. Adapt the assets, audience and goal, then review the result.

Example prompt

Tighten repeated wording in this talking-head recording while preserving necessary conditions. Suggest cuts first and retain qualifiers such as cannot or not recommended.

Review before delivery

Does the transcript match the speech?
Do essential conditions remain after trimming?
Do cut boundaries truncate words or create abrupt jumps?

Questions, answered

Edit through text, review on the timeline

Is deleting a sentence enough?

Playback is still necessary. Text boundaries may not be ideal cut points, so review word endings, pauses and adjacent shots.

Which footage is a good fit?

Clear spoken recordings, interviews and lessons are a good fit. Music, ambient sound and action-led material often need direct timeline review.
