Pull the best answers out of an interview

The strongest line in an interview often comes forty minutes in. VideoShort transcribes the full recording, so you can find it by topic and turn it into a clip.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Upload the recording

    Add the interview video and set the type to Talk or Podcast.

  2. 2

    Name what you want

    Type a topic or phrase and the matching parts move to the top of the suggestions.

  3. 3

    Cut, caption and export

    Adjust where the clip starts and ends, add captions and your name, then download it.

What makes these clips work

  • Let the answer carry it

    Most clips work better starting on the answer, with the question cut or shown as a line of text.

  • Check names in the captions

    Automatic transcripts struggle most with names and companies, so read those first.

  • Ask before you publish

    Make sure the person you interviewed agrees to short clips being shared.

Good to know

Does it work with two speakers?

Yes. It reads the speech of the whole recording. Clips are cut to vertical, so check that the person speaking stays in frame.

Can I search for a specific topic?

Yes. Tell it what to look for and matching moments rise to the top.

Can I edit the wording of captions?

Yes. Review and correct your clip in the editor before the final export.
