Edit the Same Transcript Together

You and a teammate can now edit the same transcript at the same time, and ScriptCut keeps both sets of changes instead of letting one overwrite the other.

What changed

Before, editing the same transcript at once meant someone's work could get lost. Now splitting, joining, adding, deleting and moving lines all get kept, no matter how many people are working in the project. If two people change the exact same line at the same moment, ScriptCut keeps the newest change.

The problem it removes

Pre-editing a long recording is rarely a solo job. One person pulls the best lines, another cleans them up, a producer rearranges the story. Until now, working side by side in the same transcript meant stepping on each other's edits or taking turns. That slowed teams down on exactly the recordings that need the most hands: long interviews, panels, documentaries.

How it works

Open the transcript screen on a shared project and you'll see who else is in it right now in the header. Say you're trimming a podcast episode with a co-producer: you're cutting filler lines while they're marking favorite moments for a highlight reel. Both of you can work at once, and nothing gets overwritten. The 'Who did what' toggle, shown as a person icon, lets you check who marked, favorited, or edited any given line, so you can always trace a change back to its author.

Who this helps

This matters most for agencies and teams pre-editing long recordings together, like a documentary crew splitting interview selects or a podcast team cleaning an episode while a producer builds the story order. Clients reviewing through share links still don't need a login, they just see the result once your team finishes.
