01
Capture the revision request
Paste the text, email, or WhatsApp message describing the cuts, mutes, or new export needed.
Stop scrubbing through texts for timecodes. Keep every cut, format, and deadline together.
Paste a client's text, email, or WhatsApp message about a revision. Text2Task organizes it into tasks, including timecodes, aspect ratios, and export deadlines, that you review before saving.
A timecoded revision list
Example edit notes pulled from a client text, like Noah's.
Example workflow — not an automated decision.
- 0:38
Mute background noise
- 1:42→0:60
Trim walkthrough for Reels
9:16 export
- —
16:9 YouTube version
No changes needed
Export and revision checklist
Confirm these before delivering a cut.
- Aspect ratio for each platform
- Captions for silent autoplay
- Timecodes confirmed against the source
- Hard vs. soft deadline
- Rate for extra export versions
From a client text to a split editing task list.
Example: a text message asking for a trim, a mute, and a new vertical export with a hard deadline.
Client text message
"hey can u cut the walkthrough down to under 60 sec for reels, its 1:42 now. also mute the part around 0:38 where you can hear the neighbor's dog barking. need the vertical version by thursday am, the listing goes live then. the 16x9 one for youtube is fine as is" — Noah, Petrosyan Realty Group
What Text2Task can identify
- - Trim the 1:42 walkthrough to under 60 seconds, 9:16 for Reels
- - Mute the audio around the 0:38 mark
- - Deadline: Thursday AM, tied to the listing going live
- - 16:9 YouTube version needs no changes
What still needs a decision
- - Which scenes to keep for the under-60-second cut — a creative call, not automatic
- - No guidance on captions for silent autoplay viewing
- - No rate mentioned for the extra vertical export
- - Confirming Thursday AM is a hard deadline, not a soft target
The trim, the mute, and the new vertical export stay as three separate tasks, each with its own timecode and deadline.
One text can ask for a trim, a mute, and a whole new export.
A message about muting a noisy few seconds can also ask for a shorter cut in a different aspect ratio for a hard deadline, three different deliverables, one text.
Text2Task proposes the breakdown. You confirm the timecodes and formats, and nothing saves until you approve it.
- Separate a simple trim from a request for a new export or version.
- Keep timecoded notes, like '0:38,' attached to the exact task.
- Flag missing specs, like aspect ratio or platform, when a client just says 'make it work for social.'
- Track hard delivery deadlines alongside creative revision requests.
A three-step revision request workflow.
Capture the message, review the breakdown, and save only the tasks you approve.

Questions about using Text2Task for Video Editors
Can it capture timecoded feedback accurately, like 'mute the part around 0:38'?
Yes, when a timecode or clear time reference is included in the message, Text2Task keeps it attached to that specific task.
Can it flag missing specs, like aspect ratio, when a client just says 'make it work for social'?
Yes. When a request doesn't name a platform or aspect ratio, Text2Task flags that detail as missing instead of guessing one.
Can it tell a small trim apart from a request for a whole new version?
It can flag language suggesting a separate deliverable, like a different aspect ratio or length, versus a quick trim to the existing cut. The final call is yours.
Does it edit, render, or export video for me?
No. Text2Task only organizes the request into a task you review. It does not touch your footage, export files, or editing software.
Video editing tasks you can organize in Text2Task
Keep post-production revisions and delivery requests clear without losing the client context needed to complete them.
- Timestamped cut and trim requests
- B-roll and footage replacements
- Caption and subtitle revisions
- Audio, music, and sound notes
- Intro, outro, and transition changes
- Motion graphics and lower thirds
- Color and visual adjustment notes
- Aspect-ratio and platform versions
- Export formats and delivery requirements
- Assets, references, deadlines, and priorities
Track the next revision against what's already cut.
When another message comes in, Client Updates checks it against the saved project so a repeat note doesn't get logged twice.
01
Compare the new message with the saved project
Text2Task checks the follow-up against editing tasks already tracked for this project.
02
See what's new versus already addressed
Review which notes are new, and which may already be reflected in an earlier cut.
03
Approve what should change
Choose which updates to apply. Nothing changes in your saved project automatically.
You confirm every cut before it's added — Text2Task never edits, exports, or renders video.
