## What it is

Studio writes out what you said, word by word, on your Mac. Then you cut the video like a document: select words and press Delete, and that part of the video is gone, with a soft fade at the cut.

Cut words stay in the transcript, struck through, so nothing is lost. Click one to bring it back. Your cuts are kept when the auto edit runs again.

## How to use it

1.  1
    
    Open the transcript
    
    In Studio’s editor, click Transcript in the toolbar, or use the Edit by transcript row in the Edit tab.
    
2.  2
    
    Transcribe
    
    If there is no transcript yet, click Transcribe. It is written on your Mac.
    
3.  3
    
    Select words
    
    Drag across words, or click one and shift-click another. Click a single word to jump the video there.
    
4.  4
    
    Cut them
    
    Press Delete (or click Cut). The words are struck through and that part leaves the video.

    Undo a cut
    
    Click a struck word to bring it back, or press ⌘Z.
    

## Questions

Is my voice sent anywhere to be transcribed?

Can I share the transcript?

Yes. After an export, the menu next to Share… and Copy has Share the Transcript…, ready for your AI or any app.
