If you’ve ever wasted 20 minutes rewatching a video just to grab one quote, or had AI clip a highlight that cuts off mid-sentence, this one’s for you.

September’s release solves two of the most common workflow headaches:

• Getting transcripts and captions without the busywork

• Fixing AI-pulled moments before they actually get downloaded

Here’s what’s live 👇

Transcript Exports

Scrubbing through a 10-minute video just to grab one quote is a special kind of hell. Now you don’t have to.

Slate automatically turns your video into text, so you can:

• Copy it straight to your clipboard. Drop a line into Slack or a doc without rewatching.

• Export captions (.srt). Upload to YouTube or LinkedIn and skip the manual typing.

• Download the full transcript. Use it as the bones of a blog post or newsletter.

Adjustable Moments

AI is great at pulling highlights. But sometimes it chops off the laugh too soon, or leaves in a pause that kills the vibe. That's why we believe that AI is a great tool to help you find the clips, but you should always be able to stay in control. Now you can fix that instantly.

• Drag handles to trim or extend.

• Preview changes live.

Why It Matters

Running social isn’t just about posting. It’s about staying fast without losing control. Small things like digging for a quote or re-editing AI clips eat up time you don’t have, and they chip away at the quality of the final post.

This release helps cut out some of that busywork. Transcripts mean you don’t stall on copy. Adjustable Moments mean you don’t settle for clips that feel off. Together, they give you more speed and more say in how your content lands.

Both features are live in Slate today—open a project, test them out, and see how much time you save.
