Say you’ve recorded an interview, or a Zoom call, or filmed a live event. Those audio and video files have all the quotes, insights and content you need to create a great story. But in its raw form, extracting any moments that matter can be a time consuming and painstaking process.

‍

‍

But this is where Trint can help. You find the key quotes from one or multiple transcripts, and our Story feature helps you collate and reorder these moments into a new narrative. Combine with headlines and text, and in no time you’ve created an outline or rough cut to blog post, social media video, podcast and other endless content opportunities.

Collating quotes and text

First things first. You’ll need to upload and transcribe the files you want to draw key moments from. Try reading our Getting started with Trint article if you need a quick refresher.

‍

Once that’s done, open your Trint file and find the quote or moment you want to pull out from the transcript. Select the text and click the “Add to Story” button in the pop-up above your selection.

‍

‍

A sidebar will now appear giving you the option to add this selected text to a new Story file or one you’ve previously created. You can also color highlight multiple parts of your transcript and add them to a Story in one go. A handy time saver when reviewing long files.

‍

‍

Now just repeat this process for every transcript you want to draw quotes from until you’ve combined all the key moments you need into one Story.

‍

Crafting a narrative

Once you’ve added your quotes, Trint’s Story feature makes crafting your new narrative really simple.

• Easily rearrange quotes by dragging and dropping them into whatever order you like.
• Click above or below any quote to add headlines and body text. 
• If your quotes are from a video, you can see how the new order plays out by watching the video preview in the bottom corner. 
• If you’re creating an outline for a podcast, drag your quotes into the best order and hit play to hear your new narrative come to life.
