Use Questions and Highlights to make a video with AI

Use the Questions and Highlights features in mmhmm to create a video about a topic of your choice. Questions uses AI to analyze your video and lists relevant topics for you to include in your video. Highlights analyzes your video and creates summary clips that you can add to your video.

  5. mmhmm will present you with two more questions related to your previous answer. Click one to answer it and then move on to the next question by clicking I'm ready for the next question. Repeat this step for as many questions as you want to answer.
  6. When you feel you've answered enough questions, click Wrap it up. mmhmm will ask if there's anything else you'd like to share related to your video. Then, click Conclude interview.
  7. mmhmm will name your video, divide it into chapters, add title card overlays, and trim it to remove silence and mistakes. Once that's done, click View video to preview your video. If you're happy with the video, click Publish to share it with others. Or, move to the next step if you want to make more changes.
  8. Use the chapter editor window to make changes to your video. If you want to add more to your video, click Close editor and click Record on the top-right hand side of the mmhmm window. If you’re not sure of what else to add, use the questions feature to generate a list of relevant topics to add to your video (read below to learn more).
