Trim Full Video

First, you'll need to cut down your longer video into 10-minute chunks.

Capsule is optimized for editing videos that are under 20 minutes, so trim down the original footage and then upload each chunk into its own project.

Create Clip Highlights

Now you can start to pull highlights. Find the section you'd like to clip, highlight the text, and then click 'Duplicate'.

The section you highlighted will now become its own clip in your timeline.

Duplicate Project

To make sure you still have the original footage to refer back to, we recommend duplicating your project from the main dashboard.

Isolate Clip

Go into the project you just duplicated and delete the unwanted footage around your clip.

Now you've got your highlight video isolated from the original footage.
