Highlight Text and Copy Highlights

Mark the key moments in your script with color-coded highlights: standout quotes, edits to revisit, clips worth repurposing. Optionally, pull them out with Copy Highlights to build a new composition from just the parts you flagged.

​

Highlight text

1. Select the text in your script you want to highlight.
2. Click the highlight color from the selection toolbar. Use the dropdown menu to choose a different color.\

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 action bar with the keyboard shortcut:
   • Command + K (Mac)
   • Ctrl + K (Windows)
2. Type “Copy highlights” into the action bar, then select the Copy highlights option from the list.
3. Choose whether to copy highlights by a specific color or include all highlights. You may need to delete the phrase “copy highlights” from the action bar to view color-specific options.
4. Open an existing composition or create a new one.
5. 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:
