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.
