The Highlights Creator allows you to create a short video that summarizes the key moments of your project. You can build this highlights video using video snippets from recordings and custom media such as videos, images, or text.

1. Understand the Highlights Workspace

In the Highlights tab you will see two sections:

Video Snippets
A list of all snippets created from the project recordings.

Uploaded Media
A list of all media you have uploaded, including videos, images, and text.

Follow the steps below to create your highlights reel.

2. Prepare Your Video Snippets

To create highlights from recordings, you first need video snippets.

- Video snippets are short clips selected from your project recordings.

- These clips represent the key moments you want to include in your highlights video.
