[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you my favorite editing tip for creating social media clips and making it all go really fast, and that's using the Create New Edit tool. So a lot of you might have heard me already talk about it, because I am obsessed with this tip, but let me show you exactly how I do it. When I'm creating a new episode, what I'm always doing is that in the back of my mind, I'm thinking about the clips that I'll create. So here in this editor, I have my full episode. But as I'm going through the transcript, I'm thinking, okay, what would perform well on social media? So let's say, okay, over here, I think that this would be a great clip for social media. I'll highlight it, and then I can press Create New Edit right here. There's also the Create New Edit button over here, but I'm just going to click on this one. And you'll see in this sidebar navigation, that it's going to create that new edit for me, and it's going to come up right over here on the side. And you can see that there's a purple dot, which means that it's new. So I know that this is a explanation about cover art. So I'm going to write, tip for cover art, just to keep me organized, save. And I just am going to keep doing that. Okay, wow, this is a really great clip too. I'm just going to press Create New Edit. And again, have that show up on the side. So as I'm going through my transcript, I'm just doing that over and over again with all of my favorite clips. And then once I'm done doing my full episode, I can just go here and click into that and go through all of my clips. So in one sweep, I've created my full episode, and then I can just start clipping for social media. So change this to 9 by 16, do whatever I want to do to create that social media clip that I need. And it's all really done in one go. So this trick has truly saved me hours of editing time. I really recommend that you try it out, that Create New Edit button in your editor, and try it in the new navigation so that you can easily flip through each of those clips. Try it out. I can't wait to see what you create, and I can't wait to see how fast you create it.

Arow Summary
The speaker shares a fast workflow for creating social media clips while editing a full episode by using the “Create New Edit” tool. As they review the transcript, they highlight promising sections, click Create New Edit, and each selection appears as a new edit in the sidebar with a marker. They label each edit for organization (e.g., “tip for cover art”), repeat this throughout the transcript, and later quickly jump through the collected clips to format them for social (like 9:16). This approach consolidates episode editing and clip creation into one pass, saving hours.

  • Highlight a strong segment in the transcript and use Create New Edit to instantly create a clip entry.
  • Use the sidebar/new navigation to collect and jump between all clip edits efficiently.
  • Rename each new edit with a short label to stay organized during batch clip creation.
  • After the full pass, open each saved edit and format it for social platforms (e.g., switch to 9:16).
  • This one-sweep workflow can save hours compared to clipping after finishing the episode.
