A Transcript That Is Part of the Video Editor
The transcript is not a separate document. Each word carries timing that connects what you read to what viewers see and hear.
Word-level timing
Text tokens stay connected to their source timing so transcript selections can become precise media edits.
Speaker-aware reading
Transcript paragraphs can separate speakers, making interviews and multi-person recordings easier to follow.
Visible edit history
Text-based cuts update the project, appear in the preview and timeline, and remain reversible.
Manual tools stay available
Switch between transcript editing, timeline adjustments, captions, layout, audio, and export controls whenever needed.

What Our Users Say About Reeloft
Trusted globally by creators, professionals, and teams. Here's what they think.
I ask for a tighter opening, captions, and a vertical version in one message. Then I can watch every change happen in the editor.
Reeloft turns the best moments from a long interview into a separate short video, so my original always stays untouched.
Removing pauses and filler words used to be the most tedious part of editing tutorials. Now I describe the cleanup and review the result.
Chat is fast for bigger changes, but I can still open the controls and adjust one clip myself. It is a useful balance.
We turn webinars into captioned social clips without rebuilding every version from scratch, and the finished clips load quickly.
I can say keep only the pricing explanation, then ask for a 9:16 crop and lower music. The result is an actual edit, not a list of suggestions.
When I select a clip and say ‘make this faster,’ Reeloft knows exactly what I mean. I do not have to explain everything again.
Undo makes it safe to try a completely different edit. If I do not like it, I can put the whole video back the way it was.
