This month we’re rolling out some powerful new tools to make creating, editing, and sharing videos smoother than ever. From game-changing editing workflows to smarter integrations and admin flexibility, here’s everything that’s new in Screencastify.

1. Edit by Transcript: Edit Videos Like You Edit Text

Our biggest update this month is here! With Edit by Transcript, you can edit your video simply by editing its transcript.

Want to cut a section? Delete the words from the transcript and that clip disappears from your video. Need to fix captions? Edit the text, and your captions update automatically. It’s intuitive, efficient, and saves you hours of work.

Perfect for: Teachers polishing lessons, trainers preparing onboarding content, or anyone who wants quick, accurate edits.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Edit videos faster with less effort
  • Keep captions clean and accurate
  • Focus on your message instead of manual cuts

Interactive quizzes just got more flexible. With our expanded AI Quiz generator, you can now create questions tailored for kindergarten learners—all the way through upper grade levels.
