# Clips

## What are clips?

![The Clips library](/help/media/sharing/sharing-clips.jpg)

Clips let you extract specific portions of your recordings as standalone audio or video segments. They're perfect for creating social media content, sharing key meeting moments, or highlighting important quotes from interviews.

## Creating a clip manually

1. Open your transcribed media file
1. Find the section you want to clip in the transcript
1. Select the text or note the timestamps
1. Use the clip creation tool to define the start and end time
1. Name your clip and save it

## Creating clips with AI Chat

You can also create clips using natural language in the AI Chat:

- "Create a clip from 0:30 to 1:45"
- "Cut the section between 2 minutes and 5 minutes"
- "Make a 30-second clip starting at 1:00"

## Sharing clips

Once created, clips can be:

- Shared via a direct link
- Embedded on websites
- Downloaded as standalone files
- Used in social media posts

## Use cases

- **Podcasters:** Pull the best quotes for social media promotion
- **Researchers:** Isolate key interview segments for analysis
- **Teams:** Share specific meeting decisions without sending the full recording
- **Content creators:** Repurpose long-form content into short-form clips

Need help creating clips? Send us a message or check out our [AI Chat Prompts Guide](/help/ai-chat/prompts/) for more examples.

## Current capabilities

Direct audio/video editing through the transcript is not yet available. However, Speak AI offers powerful alternatives:

### Create clips

You can extract specific portions of your recordings as standalone clips:

- Use the clip tool to select a time range
- Or use AI Chat: "Create a clip from 1:30 to 2:45"
- Clips can be shared, downloaded, and embedded

See our [clips guide](/help/sharing/clips/) for details.

### Edit the transcript text

You can fully edit the transcript text:

- Click any word to edit it directly
- Find and replace across the entire transcript
- Rename speakers
- Use [keyboard shortcuts](/help/transcription/editing/) for fast editing

### Export for external editing

Export your transcript as SRT or VTT subtitle files, then import them into video editing tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. We also support direct Premiere Pro XML export.

See our [export formats guide](/help/exports/) for all available options.
