Edit videos as easily as editing a document
Cutting and trimming your footage is easier with text-based video editing. Instead of dragging clips and scrubbing through a timeline, simply edit a video’s transcript. Your video will update automatically, saving you hours of tedious work. VEED's text-based video editor helps you work faster on podcasts, interviews, lectures, and any other speech-heavy content.
VEED puts you in control with text-based editing; no need for advanced editing skills. Our editor is perfect for polishing podcasts or turning long webinars into short clips. Upload your video, generate the transcript, and start editing. With video text editing, you skip the complexity of traditional software.
How to edit a video with text:
Step 1
Upload video
Add your video with speech and click the ‘Edit with Script’ button in the top-left corner of the timeline. Click the auto-transcribe button to create a text version of your footage.
Step 2
Edit by text
Edit your video by modifying the transcript: delete unwanted sections or copy and paste to reorder scenes. Refine your message as easily as editing a document.
Step 3
Enhance and export
Go to the settings to remove filler words and silences (short, long, or custom duration) with a click. Add finishing touches like text overlays, your logo, and background music. Then, click ‘Done’ to export your polished video.

Edit videos like editing a document
Ever spent an hour searching for that perfect cut point? With text-based video editing, just read through the transcript and delete what you don't need. No more endless timeline scrubbing or precise cursor dragging. Simply highlight text to trim sections, remove filler words with a click, or rearrange segments by copying and pasting. Your video updates instantly as you edit. Beginner editors can create professional-looking videos, while experienced creators will appreciate the streamlined workflow.
Save hours of video editing time
Clean up videos in seconds with our intelligent AI tools. One click removes all "ums" and "ahs." You can also remove silences; Set how long a pause needs to be before our AI removes it automatically. This feature removes dead air while keeping natural breaks. Want to save even more time? Our AI clip generator identifies your most engaging moments and turns them into social-ready clips—no manual selection needed. All these tools work right in your browser.

Turn long videos into shareable shorts
Text-based editing makes finding shareable moments ridiculously simple. Just scan your transcript for key points instead of watching the entire video again. Select any section, export it as a standalone clip, and you're ready to post. Resize automatically in any format, such as Instagram Stories or YouTube Shorts. Add eye-catching captions for sound-off viewing and maintain brand consistency with saved colors, fonts, and logos. Create a week's worth of content from one lengthy recording.
