Read the results

When the analysis is complete, Aura shows a structured result with insights about your video.
How long an analysis takes, and what it covers, depends on your video.

​
Generate Highlights

1

Ask for highlights

Select the Generate Highlights Quick Action, or ask Aura to find the most engaging moments in your video.
2

Review the proposal

Aura presents a highlight-reel proposal that describes what it will do. The proposal also shows an estimated time and an expected impact. These are estimates, not guarantees.

Apply or discard it

​
Suggest Edits

Aura reviews your video and creates an edit plan. You choose which suggestions to apply. See Suggest edits with Aura.

​
Transcribe

Select the Transcribe Quick Action to generate captions for your video. Captions sit on the Captions track of the timeline. To work with them, see Captions properties.

​
Clean up silences

Aura can find silent sections in your audio and help you remove them. For each silent section it finds, you can choose:
  • KEEP to leave the section in your video
  • REMOVE to cut it out
To remove every silent section at once, select Remove Silences. To clear your choices and start again, use the reset option.
Review each section before you remove it. A pause can be deliberate, for example for emphasis or before a punchline.

​
Conversation history

Aura keeps a history of your conversations. Expand History at the top of the panel to see your previous conversations, or select New to start a new one.

​
Credits

Aura actions can use credits, and the amount varies from run to run. To check your credits, go to Settings > Billing & Usage.
