Hello, this is Cristi.
Let me show you in Descript, how you can extract fragments from your episode, podcast or clip
or video into individual clips that you can then create audiograms from, or export them
as separate pieces of audio with text or whatever.
So I have a composition here in Descript.
If you look on the left, you have the sidebar and you can see your project files and your
compositions right there.
So I am inside of this composition and I want to extract a few fragments from this and maybe
use them as audiograms.
So one way to do it is just copy and paste easily, select the fragment you want.
Let's suppose I want to extract this sentence right here.
You can right-click and Clip to composition, New.
This will create a fresh composition on the left, that has only that paragraph that I
copied.
If you want to do this in more bulk way, all you do is just go back to your main composition
and you can use highlights.
And this is very cool, because you can create different highlight colors to extract fragments
to different compositions, all in one go.
So, let me show you, I'm selecting this and from the top I have highlight.
And if you click on this, you have several colors with highlights.
For example, I'm going to highlight this with green or mint, and then I'm going down here
and also highlighting this portion again, the same color.
And finally, I'm going to just highlight the last sentence in the same color.
So now I have three phrases and obviously, I could probably select them all like this
and right-click, Clip to composition, New.
But I can actually clip all three of them into a separate composition, all in one go.
So let me show you how.
On the left sidebar, if you don't see this, you can click on this little arrow here to
expand it.
On the sidebar in the composition that I created the highlights in, I have these three dots
right there, click on them and say, Copy highlights.
You can select all of them or just the mint ones.
So before I do that, let me highlight something else in a different color.
For example, this phrase right here, I'm going to highlight it in some kind of yellow, Sand.
So now I have two different colors highlighted in my episode or clip.
I go now to the three dots next to my composition and then I say, Copy highlights and watch
this.
I can copy just the sand one or just the mint one.
So if I click on the mint one, it's copied them.
They are in my clipboard, if you want.
And then I go to Add new, Composition.
And come in here and paste.
All three highlights ended up in my new composition.
So this is a very easy way to create extracts or clips from your main episode or main video
clip or whatever you have into a highlights clip that you can then create audiograms with,
export it as an audio with highlights, or anything else you would like to do.
So I hope this quick tip was useful for you in Descript.
I'm doing more Descript tutorials because I started using it very much on the last couple
of years.
And I think it's a great tool and it's completely changed my workflow, and I work in it like
daily, every day for hours.
So I hope you will join me on the next ones.
