Start your story.
Highlight the text you want to use in the Transcript panel. In the Source panel, the playhead automatically moves to the footage with the chosen text. You can then drag that portion of the clip to the timeline. Repeat this to add clips as needed.
Pro tip: Type keywords into the Search field to highlight all the selected words in the clip. The ellipsis icon shows pauses, so you can cut those as needed.

A LUT, provides a preset color look for your video. To apply one to your clip, select the Effects tab in the Project panel. Search for “Fuji Eterna,” choose Fuji Eterna 250D Fuji 3510 (by Adobe), and drag that effect onto the footage.
Pro tip: To apply a LUT to multiple clips, add an adjustment layer above spanning the length of your chosen clips and drag the LUT to the adjustment layer.
