As someone who has done a fair amount of editing in the past, I can not explain how exhausting it was to get a result that could satisfy a client. My final editing job was a vexing nightmare itself, transcribing text from interviews of people with raspy voices messed up from their living situation. Now this is something that definitely could come in handy for people with fair amounts of interview footage and constant talking. Allow me to tell you about Simon Says, the AI transcription program not the annoying kid’s game. Simon Says has a new product of their service called Simon Says Assemble, which makes video editing easier by transcribing video footage and highlighting the important parts to condense all that easily. With everything made together easily, one can then export the finished work to any editing software and let them work out the final kinks. Y’know, the lighting, and titles and whatnot.
This new software will be an interesting new addition to anyone I know who works in editing interviews, such as myself (if we do more video interviews in the future) because it makes text editing easier. It works on all kinds of editing platforms like Premiere, Final Cut, Avid, and even DaVinci Resolve. Not to mention the ability that it supports all file formats, can translate in so many different languages, and is able to use and collaborate with people in any location.
