Copy highlights into a new composition

After highlighting key moments in your composition, use the Copy Highlights action to collect and paste those sections into a new composition. This is a fast way to repurpose content—like building a social clip reel, podcast summary, or blog post.

1. Open the AI Actions panel from the right-hand sidebar.
2. Search for Copy Highlights and choose to copy highlights by a specific color or include all highlights.
3. Open an existing composition or create a new one.
4. Right-click in the Script editor where you want the highlights to go, then select Paste.

Clear highlights from your script

Remove highlights in two ways:

• Select the highlighted text, then press Command + Shift + H (Mac) or Control + Shift + H (Windows).
• Or, select the highlighted text, open the highlight color dropdown, and choose Clear highlight.
