Auto-detect your highlight moments from audio and video
Highlight clips analyze both audio and visual signals to surface the highest-attention moments — the reactions, spikes, and punchlines a transcript alone would miss.
Beyond the transcript
Some of the best moments aren't in the words — they're in a laugh, a reaction, or a sudden spike of energy. Highlight detection reads audio and visual cues to catch them, complementing transcript-based clipping.
How it works
What makes a moment worth posting
A good clip is rarely the most information-dense minute of a recording. It's the moment where something changed — a laugh, a raised voice, a pause before a real answer, a reaction. Those signals are in the audio and the picture, not in the words, which is why a transcript search alone tends to return correct but flat clips.
Highlight detection looks at both: emphasis and energy in the audio, and change in the visuals. What comes back is a ranked shortlist of moments where something actually happened, which you can then review in minutes rather than watching an hour to find three.

Practical tips
Treat the ranking as a shortlist, not a verdict
Detection is very good at finding candidates and can't know your audience. Skim the top ten and pick the three that fit what you're building.
Start here, then refine by keyword
Highlights tell you where the energy is; a keyword search tells you what it was about. Running highlights first and filtering second is usually the faster order.
Check the first and last two seconds
A detected moment often starts a beat late or ends mid-word. Nudging the in and out points is the single highest-value edit you can make to a clip.
Who it's for
In practice
Gaming creators
A long session gets scanned for the spikes — the reaction, the win, the disaster — without watching four hours back for them.
Webinar and event hosts
Q&A is usually where the real content is, and it's usually unscripted. Detection finds the exchanges that landed.
Interview shows
The pause before a guest gives an honest answer is a strong clip and impossible to find by searching words.
