Use case

An hour of webinar, a month of posts.

A webinar is recorded once, watched live by a few dozen people and then, usually, never again. The useful part is the four minutes where someone answers the question everybody actually had. Transcribing the recording turns it into something you can read and search, and cutting from a transcript is fast enough that a month of posts is an afternoon's work.

How it works

  1. Upload the recording

    Whatever your conferencing tool exported. It is transcribed and scanned for scene changes on our GPUs, and a one-hour recording costs 60 credits.

  2. Find the questions worth answering twice

    Read the transcript, strike everything around the answer, and the cut ripples through. Slide changes show up as scene boundaries to cut against; a speaker switch you find in the transcript, where the name is.

  3. Give each clip a hook and a shape

    Add a hook line, set the format, apply your caption style and brand kit, then export each one. None of that costs credits, however many times you redo it.

What you end up with

A queue instead of a recording

One session becomes eight or ten posts with their own beginnings and endings, rather than a two-hour file nobody will open.

Consistent across a team

Templates carry the format, captions and brand kit, so clips cut by different people come out looking like the same company.

Searchable while you work

The transcript stays alongside the clip, so finding the sentence you half remember is reading, not scrubbing.

What this does not do

MakeRoll starts from a recording you already have. It does not join your calls or record them for you.

Credits are source minutes: a 60-minute video costs 60 credits, however many clips come out of it. Editing and exporting are free and unlimited. Pricing

Try it on your own footage.

An hour of source video free every month: full pipeline, full editor, no watermark, no card.
