Before you start
A video you own or have permission to edit and publish, with a clear moment you want to share.
Generation, transcription and rendering show their current quote before you start. Cost varies with your model and duration.
- 1
Choose one useful moment before editing: a complete answer, a product demonstration or a concise story. Keep enough context that the clip does not change the speaker’s meaning.
- 2
Open the video editor and add footage from your library or upload editing media. Select the scene, set Trim start (s) and Scene duration (s), then use Split scene when you need separate sections. Clip selection is manual; Adikt does not automatically identify viral moments.
- 3
Choose the output aspect ratio for your destination. Under Framing, compare Fill frame / crop with Fit whole image. Check faces, product details and any existing on-screen text throughout the clip.
- 4
In Captions, review the transcription quote and generate a transcript. Correct names and timings, choose a caption look, then adjust the font, colour and movement. Keep emphasis focused on words that matter.
- 5
In Audio, balance the scene volume with music you are licensed to use. Preview with sound on, then once muted to check that the story still reads clearly.
- 6
Watch the full clip and review the export quote before rendering. Download the MP4, add a truthful description and publish through your own social account. Adikt does not publish to social channels automatically.
Your completion check
A short, captioned MP4 prepared for your chosen social format.
If something needs attention
If a crop removes important context, use Fit whole image or choose another moment. If captions drift after trimming, check the final timeline and correct their timing before rendering again.
