Text-based Video Editing

Benefits of using Cutback's Text-based video editing

Adobe Premiere Pro has a built in transcription feature that supports text-based editing, and there are various other tools that provide this feature.

However, there are some limitations that stop editors from using text-based editing frequently.

• First is the transcription accuracy.

• Secondly, using multiple editing tools is a hassle.

• Thirdly, editing tasks are limited to deleting unwanted cuts only.

Cutback solves all three problems by providing the highest accuracy rate for transcription that gets more accurate as you use it. Cut, add zoom, add animated captions, add B-rolls right in the transcript, right in Adobe Premiere Pro.
