What is transcript-based video editing?
Transcript-based editing connects spoken words to their exact source times. Instead of scrubbing through the whole recording, you can locate a phrase, select the unwanted passage and make a video cut from the text. Pireel keeps transcript edits connected to the canvas and timeline, so you can check facial motion, pauses, captions and scene continuity before accepting the result.

Transcript video editing questions
Does deleting text delete the matching video?+
Pireel can turn a selected transcript passage into a source-timed video cut. Review the transition before keeping it.
Can it remove filler words automatically?+
Pireel can identify and cut spoken filler or repeated passages. Keep the changes that improve pacing without making speech sound unnatural.
Can I search for a specific sentence?+
Yes. Timed transcript text makes it possible to find spoken phrases and jump to the matching moment.
Are transcript and captions the same thing?+
No. The transcript represents the spoken source. Captions are the timed text viewers see and can be styled or positioned for the final video.
Can I still use the timeline?+
Yes. Transcript, canvas, timeline and Chat are different ways to work on the same video.
Start with the sentence you already know is wrong
Upload a spoken recording, find one repeated line in the transcript and make the cut. Then watch across the edit before moving to the next change.
