The editable rough cut is an interesting step beyond transcription . Can editors see why particular clips were chosen for the proposed narrative?
Supacut
@thomas_bennett Yes, they can see it. They can also check which parts of the transcript were not selected. This is key to assuring the editor that no part of the project was dismissed without being analyzed.
Comparing answers across interview could save a ridiculous amount of time on documentary projects . Can you search for a specific question or idea across the entire project?
Supacut
@salmni_gorey Yes, you can also define your own topic pillars before the analysis, and Supacut will provide the results according to your specific needs.
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?
