The edit asset problem
A strong video needs visual anchors, not a folder of random links.
Editors often receive scripts, notes, sources, and timestamps that still need to become on-screen cards. Highlightly helps organize source-backed moments into visuals that can drop into edits or promote the final video.
Give the timeline visual anchors before the editor has to invent them from scratch.
Research points get buried in the script instead of becoming visible proof.
Manual overlay cards slow down edits and create inconsistent styling.
Editors need clear source context for quotes and stats.
Promotion assets are often left until the video is already finished.
