Shareable Clips

A clip is a saved section of a transcript and its audio or video. You can create clips yourself or start from the clips Rev suggests, then download them or share them with others. Shared clips show the recipient only the clip and its part of the transcript, not the full file.

Suggested Clips

Suggested clips are short sections of your file that Rev’s AI picks out as important moments. When you open a transcript, they appear in a row at the top of the transcript. Each card shows a title, a short description, the clip length and a Preview button. Up to three suggested clips are also included in the “Your transcript is ready” email. Suggested clips aren’t available on legacy accounts.

Suggested clips are only available for transcripts created on or after April 21, 2026.

 

To watch or listen to a suggested clip, click Preview. The clip plays in the media player and its text is highlighted in the transcript.

To change where the clip starts or ends, you can:

  • drag the start and end handles on the media player’s timeline;
  • type an exact time in the Start and End boxes;
  • drag the edges of the highlighted text in the transcript.

When the start and end times are right, click Save Clip to add it to your clips, or click the download icon to download it. Click Cancel to discard it.

To hide the suggested clips row, click the X in its top-right corner. You can still find suggested clips in the Clips panel, which you open with the scissors icon in the editor’s right-hand menu. To hide suggested clips in the editor without turning them off for your account, open the editor settings (gear icon in the right-hand menu) and turn off Show suggested clips.

To stop Rev from creating suggested clips for your files:

Shareable Clips FAQ

Can I create a clip from any transcript?

You can create clips from transcripts you own. You can’t create clips from a transcript someone has shared with you.

 

Can I download clips, or just share them?

You can do both. You can share a clip with other people, or download it as an MP4 with a TXT, DOCX or PDF transcript.

 

Can a clip recipient see the full transcript or its comments?

No. A shared clip shows only the clip and its part of the transcript. To give someone the full transcript, including comments, highlights and notes, share the original file.

 

How many clips can I create per transcript?

There’s no limit. You can create as many clips per transcript as you like.

 

Are suggested clips available on every account?

Suggested clips are available on current subscription plans. They aren’t available on legacy accounts.
