Recap or compilation
A recap retells one recording: one bulletin, one debate, one event day. A compilation gathers moments across many recordings: one leader across a decade, one disaster across every report, one topic across an election cycle. They answer different editorial questions but start from the same place, an archive you can search by what was said and shown.
Packages newsrooms build most
- Anniversary and retrospective packages
- Election and budget explainers that draw on past statements
- Tribute packages for a public figure
- Background segments for a running story
- Daily and weekly recaps of long-form programmes
Why it usually does not happen
Finding the right moments takes longer than cutting them. Producers search by date and slug, remember who was on which show, and scrub through tape. Most of the time goes into finding the material, not editing it.
How it works with Deepgrip
Search for the theme, review the candidate moments with their speaker and timestamp, drop what does not belong, reorder, and assemble with Compile. Recap summarises a single recording. Every clip stays linked to its source bulletin and timestamp, so it can be verified before it airs.
Editorial control
The automatic cut is a starting point, not the final. Producers review and change it, and the result can be exported as video, with transcripts as SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON, for finishing in your edit suite. Approval before publishing stays with your team.
Where Deepgrip fits
Deepgrip works on footage held on NAS, LTO tape and MAM systems, runs on Deepgrip cloud or on your own premises, and covers 23 Indian languages and English.
