Step by step

  1. Choose the clips folder

    Open Clips → Choose clips folder. Make a clip in the editor or use Add selected track. The library saves a WAV in that folder.

  2. Listen, then open just one clip

    Use the play button beside a clip to audition it. Click its name to load only that clip in the editor. Save your current project first if you need to keep its arrangement.

  3. Save another version

    Make your edit and choose Save version. The library lists the newest v-number; earlier WAV versions stay in the folder.

  4. Find it by what was said

    Expand Automatic clip transcripts and enable background transcription for clips under three minutes. Using the included Parakeet English model, the list gains opening words and can filter by a spoken phrase, name, or tag.

  5. Pause and pick up later

    Use the switch under Automatic clip transcripts to pause or resume the queue. In the transcription development preview, Pause automatic transcripts and Resume automatic transcripts are also beside the remaining-clip count. Completed words remain searchable while the rest wait.
