The video research problem
Your script has sources. Your edit needs visual proof.
A good video often depends on articles, studies, interviews, transcripts, and reports. Highlightly helps creators turn that research into cards and overlays that make the argument clearer on screen and easier to promote afterward.
Give editors structured source moments instead of a folder of links and screenshots.
Interesting source material gets buried in the script instead of shown visually.
Screenshots look inconsistent and can feel low-effort in polished videos.
Editors need structured proof points, not a folder of random links.
Promotion assets often get created after the video is already exhausting to finish.

What one source can become.
Extract claims, numbers, quotes, and hooks from the sources behind your script.
Video insert

Carousel
Post-launch carousel
Repurpose the video research into social slides after upload.
Why it fits
The edit gets easier when the research is already visual.
Highlightly can sit between research and editing. Instead of asking the editor to hunt for evidence, the creator can export the strongest cards, keep attribution visible, and decide which visuals belong in the final cut.
- Use source-backed cards as B-roll alternatives.
- Create visual anchors for complex explanations.
- Repurpose research assets after the video goes live.
