Is this like Camtasia for screenshooting, screencasting and video editing software? https://www.techsmith.com/video-editor.html
Not really b/c 1) Grain is real-time and 2) it's not a screen capture.

#82Hi Mike, What particular advantages do you see between grain clips vs written minutes from a meeting? In my field there are many instances where an item on the agenda is talked through for 15mins and the minute-taker can summarise into a couple of lines/paragraph. I'm struggling to see how a video clip can deliver a similar summarisation, unless someone has vocally summarised at the end for the clip.
Frankly this wouldn't make for a great highlight clip. You could make it but nobody would watch it.
Grain is best for that punchy quote you want to share mid-moment or for the summary 30 second wrap-up at the end.
We have changed our dialogue to include these at the end of convos b/c that way it's easy to summarize conclusions and next steps to document and share with others. Most good meetings have these anyway.

I do it mostly so I don't have to repeat myself. :) I use the clips so that others can gain from the kernals of wisdom those clips provide... without having to commit to some portion of an hour to find the kernal themselves. Saves everyone time and enforces compliance to decisions made ) Also, of course, by manually editing down a deeply technical discussion from an hour to 20 minutes helps me REALLY listen and under…
I can't help but think you've found a more complicated and less efficient way to achieve the same thing as writing up an off-the cuff talk afterwards. Personally I loathe the spoken word as a medium for efficient transmission of information. Reading and skim-reading is an order of magnitude faster. And writing up something I've spoken is the perfect way to focus and clarify.
LOL.... I know what you are saying,
It's interesting how different people process information.
All I can say is that it works for me.... and I find it to be highly impactful on my co-workers etc.
There is something about capturing nuance that "multimedia" really helps with....
So my mission is to reduce the effort it takes for me to do this to less then it takes to just write up and share notes...

Do you have any examples of talks that you've edited?
I'll look to see if there is anything I can share publicly...
