Review hours of interview footage in minutes. Supacut helps documentary and interview editors find the strongest soundbites, organize material by theme, compare answers across interviews, and build a shortlist of selects. Or let Supacut analyze the material, propose narrative directions, and generate an editable rough cut. Export your work and keep editing in your NLE. Spend less time searching through footage and more time shaping the story.
Comparing answers across speakers is the piece I'd use most, since we shoot a lot of people on the same topic. Can a theme I set up carry into the next project?
the "propose narrative directions" part is the interesting bit to me, most rough-cut tools stop at "here are your best soundbites" and leave the actual story structure to the editor. does it need a decent transcript to work from, or does it do its own transcription and speaker separation straight from raw footage? and when it proposes a narrative direction, is that based on something you tell it up front about the piece you're making, or is it purely inferring a shape from what's actually in the footage?
