Reduct Video

Reduct Video is a video editing platform that allows users to edit footage by editing an automatically generated text transcript, with changes to the words reflected directly in the video timeline. It is designed for journalists, podcasters, documentary filmmakers, researchers, and content teams who work with large volumes of interview or spoken-word footage. The software uses automatic speech recognition to transcribe recordings, enabling users to search, highlight, and cut clips based on spoken content rather than manual scrubbing. It supports collaborative workflows, letting multiple team members mark up transcripts, tag speakers, and assemble rough cuts or highlight reels from long-form recordings. Core capabilities include multi-track editing, speaker identification, keyword search across footage libraries, and export of edited sequences to standard video formats or professional editing tools for finishing.
