Choose the best moments inside a clip
Sometimes the most valuable part of a shot is only a few seconds long. Discover those moments in long recordings with Merceq, mark them, and get them ready for editing. Select more than one scene from a video, name each one, and add your notes. Use Sense to find the moments you want in speech and spot audio and image problems early. Take your selected scenes into your editing app; work with the footage you need directly instead of scanning hours of recording again. Your original videos stay unchanged.
Sometimes you need only one line from a conversation or a few seconds of great footage, not the whole clip. In this section, you’ll see how to select those moments, add your notes, and get them ready for editing.
