Turn a messy transcript into clean scenes.
Raw transcripts come back chopped into dozens of tiny fragments. Smart Scenes reads your video and regroups it into meaningful scene blocks by topic and pacing, so you can rearrange and trim your story like paragraphs in a doc.
Before & after

Same video, same transcript. On the left, every short phrase is its own block. On the right, Smart Scenes has grouped them into scenes you can actually work with.
Dozens of choppy fragments. Hard to scan, tedious to rearrange.
Related lines merged into topic blocks. Edit them like paragraphs.

FAQ
Questions about Smart Scenes
Smart Scenes reads your transcript and splits the video into meaningful scene blocks based on topic and pacing changes — like chapters in a doc. Each scene can then be rearranged, trimmed, zoomed, or styled independently.
Silence detection only finds pauses. Smart Scenes understands the content: it splits where the topic or energy actually shifts, so scene boundaries land where a human editor would put them.
Yes. A scene toolbar lets you split a scene at any word or merge adjacent scenes, so the AI's structure is a starting point, never a constraint.
Add per-scene zooms and transitions, reorder scenes to restructure the story, trim weak ones, or select a scene in the transcript and cut it into its own clip.
No. Scenes are structure on top of your footage — nothing is re-encoded or thrown away, and every change is undoable.
