Reel creation workflows in Reduct

Depending on your use case,  you can use Reduct’s various workflows to create reels.

Create a reel with specific highlights

  • Click the Reels tab (last icon) in the left sidebar.
  • Click New Reel and give it a name.
  • Go to the Highlights tab, search or browse for the highlights you want, and drag them onto the reel interface.
  • Use the editing tools in the reels to cut out unwanted partsfrom your chosen highlights.

Turn all highlights into one reel

  • Open your recording and highlight all the text corresponding to the moment you want to add in a reel.
  • Click the Convert button above the transcript.
  • Select the X highlights option (where X is the number of highlights in that recording).

In the reel interface, you can drag and reorder highlights, cut text to edit clips, and add new highlights or sections as needed.

Create a reel from tagged highlights

  • Organize all the highlights that you want into a common tag.
  • Click on the Reels tab (the last icon) in the left sidebar, then click New Reel.
  • Now go to the Tags tab in the left sidebar.
  • Find the tag you want (use the filter if needed).
  • Drag the tag onto the reel interface to add all highlights with that tag.

  1. Open the recording.
