Edit with words, not the timeline.
Read the transcript, pick the moments that matter, and shape the whole story before you ever scrub a frame. A two-hour interview becomes a rough cut before lunch.
Your rough cut builds itself.
Every line you keep rebuilds as a real timeline in the editor you already use, Resolve or Premiere, in order, trimmed to the frame, with your chapters as markers. You don't switch tools, you skip the scrubbing.
Opens as a finished rough cut, not a pile of clips.
Frame-accurate, every word-level trim respected.
Act groups land as named timeline markers.
