Fluffed a line? Redo just that part

Most teleprompters make you start again from the top when you stumble. In ClippCut, each # section of your script is its own short take: redo the one you got wrong, and it joins the rest into one video.

Step by step: record part by part

  1. Split the script with # lines. Start a line with # to begin a section: # Hook, # Tip, # Call to action. Under More, choose By section.
  2. Record one section at a time. ClippCut records the first section and stops at its end. Fluffed a line? Redo just that section; the others stay as they are.
  3. Review them as one video. Review plays the sections back to back as a single video, with captions running across them. Save it as one MP4.

How it works

  1. Split your script with # Hook, # Tip, # Call to action lines (the ready-made scripts already are).
  2. Choose By section under the shape buttons. The section chips show what’s recorded.
  3. Press record. The prompter starts at the section and the take stops by itself a moment after its last word.
  4. Got one wrong? Tap its chip and record it again. Only that section is replaced.
  5. When every section has a ✓, ClippCut shows the whole video, with the silence at the start and end of each section trimmed away.

Why it helps on camera

Short sections are easier to say well: you read three sentences, not thirty. You can also change energy between sections, step closer for the call to action, or re-record the hook ten times without touching the rest.

Free

Recording by section and redoing sections are free. Joining happens on your device; nothing is uploaded.

How to split a script into sections

Sections work best when each one is a complete thought you can say in one breath or two: a hook, each tip, the call to action. Aim for 10 to 20 seconds each. Too short and the cuts between them feel choppy; too long and you're back to redoing big chunks.

Keeping the sections consistent

Because you record sections at different moments, keep your position, light and energy the same between them. Don't move the phone between sections, and do a quick practice of the next section before recording it.

Questions

Will the cuts between sections look like jumps?

Yes, a little, like the jump cuts most talking-head videos use. Change your framing slightly between sections, or keep it the same for a tighter look.

Can I redo a section after I’ve seen the whole video?

Yes. The review lists every section with a Redo button.
