In this guide, we'll explore the process of recording, uploading, and editing videos using Sequence, your ultimate tool for B2B SaaS training. We'll also delve into the various export options available in Sequence, allowing you to tailor your output to specific needs and preferences.

- Record with Extension
- Upload My Video
Step 1: Recording Videos
Sequence offers a user-friendly interface for recording videos directly within the platform. Simply click on the "Record" button to launch the recording tool and start capturing your screen, webcam, or both.
Step 2: Uploading Pre-recorded Videos
If you have pre-recorded videos that you'd like to edit or enhance using Sequence, you can easily upload them to the platform. Here’s how:
- Access the project where you want to upload videos.
- Look for the "Upload Video" option.
- Drag and drop your video files into the designated area.
Understand that processing may take time, depending on factors like file size and complexity.
4. Ensure compatibility by referring to the list of supported file types.
5. Monitor the progress of the upload and processing.
Why are there different times?
The first item, commonly labeled "Loading Video," indicates the overall duration from uploading the video to completing all necessary processing tasks. The subsequent items, such as "Audio Extracted" and "Creating Video Timeline," represent the individual durations for each specific task.
For instance, while extracting audio might only take 5 seconds, the entire process, including all tasks, could take 33 seconds to complete.
Editing Videos with AI-driven Features
Sequence leverages AI-driven features to streamline the video editing process and enhance the overall quality of your content. Here are some key features to explore:
Audio Extraction
Sequence automatically extracts audio from your videos, allowing you to work with the audio separately from the video. This feature is particularly useful for tasks such as podcasting or audio-only content distribution.
What’s more, the platform automates the process of cleaning audio and transforming it into a professional script. Here's how it works:
- Step 1: After uploading, Sequence extracts and cleans the audio automatically.
- Step 2: AI technology refines the script, eliminating fillers and creating a clear narrative.
- Understand that processing time may vary, but Sequence ensures a streamlined workflow.
- Step 3: Wait until your video is processed and reap the benefits once it's done!
Note: While AI generally performs accurately, there are instances where it might misinterpret something said in the video. For instance, in the screenshot below, it displays "Chira" instead of "Jira." Fortunately, you can easily correct such errors.
Script Writing
The AI technology in Sequence can analyze your video content and generate a written script based on the audio. This feature simplifies the process of creating captions or transcripts for your videos. We’ll touch more on this later.
Voice Generation
Sequence offers a variety of AI-generated voices that you can use to narrate your videos. Choose from different voices to find the one that best fits your content and audience!
How to Add an AI-Generated Voice to Your Video:
- Click on the user icon to the left of the AI-generated script where it says "Change AI Voice".
2. Choose your preferred voice from the available six options.
3. Select whether you want to apply the voice to all of the sentences or only the one you clicked.
4. Click "Generate Audio".
Exporting Options and Formats
Once you've finished editing your videos, it's time to export them in the desired format. Sequence offers a range of export options to accommodate different needs:
Exporting Audio Files Separately
If you only need the audio portion of your video, Sequence allows you to export audio files separately. This is ideal for tasks such as podcasting or collaborating with team members who only require access to the audio content.
Here’s how to do it:
- If you have chosen "only the audio" option, choose the desired audio format for export. Sequence offers flexibility in exporting edited videos in various formats to suit different requirements. Explore the different export formats available, such as MP4, WAV, or MP3, and determine which format best fits your needs.
- Initiate the export process.
- Sequence will process the audio/video extraction and generate the audio file according to your specified settings.
- Upon completion, download the exported audio/video file to your device or share it directly with collaborators or clients as needed.
Exporting Transcripts
Sequence can also export transcripts of your videos in various formats, such as SRT (SubRip Subtitle) files. These transcripts are useful for tasks such as transcript analysis or note-taking.
How to do it:
- Step 1: Click on either "Export Original SRT" or "Export New SRT". The former exports the original video/audio without any editing, while the latter exports the variant of the video/audio you edited.
- Step 2: Explore the exported SRT file, which, in this case (as shown in the screenshot below), contains a transcript organized by time.
Choosing the Right Export Format
When exporting your videos, it's important to choose the right format based on your specific needs. Consider factors such as podcasting requirements, audio-only content distribution, or compatibility with other platforms.
