Import & Edit a Video
Learn how to import videos and use Audiate's text-based editing to speed up the editing process.
Import a Video
To import a video into a new project, click the Import a file button.
To import a video into a project that already contains scripted text, audio, or other videos, select File > Import > Import File.
Audiate automatically transcribes the file. This process may take a few minutes, especially for longer videos.
Edit Your Video
Audiate’s speech-to-text transcription enables text-based video editing. Either scan your text to identify parts of your video to cut, or use Audiate’s Suggested Edits feature to quickly clean up long pauses or hesitation words like “umm” or “ah”.
To learn more about text-based editing, see Edit Audio & Mistakes.
Adjust the Video Preview
To change the preview size, click and drag the divider up or down.
To show or hide the entire video preview, click the Video Preview button in the lower-right corner of the Audiate interface.
Export Your Video
Once your editing session is complete, export your video file either as a standalone file on your computer, or directly to the Camtasia timeline or media bin.
Note: You must have Camtasia version 2024.1.0 or later to export videos into a Camtasia project.
Export to File
- Click the Export button and select the Export to File option.
- The Export to File dialog appears. Select a preset from the dropdown or customize the settings.

Export to Camtasia
With Camtasia you can choose from hundreds of video transitions, add animations, and use built-in assets like callouts and titles to bring your video to life. To send your video to Camtasia, click the Export button and select the Export to Camtasia option. The Camtasia export dialog opens.
- Choose where to send the media to in the Camtasia editor:
- Media Bin: The media bin stores the source files for media in a Camtasia video project.
- Timeline: The timeline displays the sequence of media in a video. Use the timeline to arrange and edit your video content. Selecting this option will also place your video in the media bin.
- Select an option from the Project dropdown.
