Party highlight videos, built from the toasts. The party's over. The toasts stay.
A party highlight video lives on its toasts: the parents' words, the grandkids' tribute, the speech nobody expected. Upload a sweet 16, quinceañera, milestone birthday or anniversary party. We transcribe every toast with the speaker separated, mark the most emotional moments and create captioned 9:16 clips, so you don't sit through five hours of party.

What slows down the party highlight video. And what changes when the speeches are text.
Five hours of party, twenty minutes of toasts
Cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, cake. The moments the family wants to relive sit in between: the kids' toast, the grandkids' tribute, the vow renewal, the speech nobody expected. Before processing, mark the range of the program, and only that counts toward your hours. It comes back as text, split into chapters.
Loud music and a room full of voices
Parties are loud, and the transcript follows the audio quality. Toasts usually go through the host's microphone, so it pays to record the DJ or soundboard feed and upload that audio for the transcript and the paper edit. For vertical clips, upload the camera video.
Finding the moment that made everyone cry, or laugh
We tag the emotion of every line, so you can see where the room got teary and where it burst out laughing. On Studio and Agency, the hooks tab lists the strongest lines with an impact score. Search takes you straight to any word: “thank you”, “fifty years”, a grandkid's name.
Six toasts, six people, six clips
At a big celebration, the microphone goes around the room. We separate the voices and, on Studio and Agency, identify each speaker by name. Every toast can become its own clip, or an MP3 snippet to share in the family group chat.
The family wants to post the next day
The full film ships on your timeline, but the family wants something for Instagram now. The best moments come out as 9:16 vertical clips, with the frame following the speaker and captions burned in. The 48 templates include story and social post layouts, with the guest of honor's name in the title.
Sweet sixteens, retirements, milestone birthdays
Any party with a microphone works the same way. At a quinceañera, the parents' words and the court's tribute; at an 80th birthday, the grandkids; at a retirement party, the coworkers. The tributes download as a PDF, a keepsake the family holds on to.

A 50th anniversary party, from the first toast to the family's Instagram
Saturday, a banquet hall. Linda and Frank's 50th anniversary party runs from 6 p.m. to midnight, and the program lasts 1 h 20 min: the eldest son's toast, the grandkids' tribute, a vow renewal, Frank's speech and a toast from Linda's sister. The videographer sold a 4-minute highlight film, a teaser for social and the full film.
Sunday morning, he uploads the A-cam file and marks from the host's welcome to the cake. The hours on the dance floor stay out of his hours. Since every toast went through the host's microphone, the voices came through clearly on camera.
Within minutes the program comes back as text, split into chapters. The grandkids' tribute shows up line by line, five kids passing the mic and Linda answering from her seat. On Studio, the names are already identified; where one isn't, he renames “Linda's sister” once and moves on.
He reads instead of watching. The emotions tab shows Frank's speech as the most moving stretch of the night, and the grandkids' “yes, dear” as the moment the room laughed. In the hooks tab, Frank's line about the car he still owes her has the top score. He favorites it, along with the son's toast and the grandkids' punchline.
The teaser goes first: a 40-second vertical clip of Frank's line, karaoke captions and the story template with “Linda and Frank, 50 years” in the title. He removes the pauses, downloads and sends it to their daughter Sunday afternoon. Then two more clips: the grandkids and the vow renewal.
For the highlight film, he asks Studio for a 4-minute paper edit built from the program's lines and exports the sequence as .xml to Premiere, where the first dance, the room and the music come in. The family gets two extras: a PDF with every toast, for the photo album, and an MP3 of Frank's speech for the relatives who couldn't fly in.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make a short party highlight video for Instagram?
Yes. Upload the recording and mark the range of the program. We suggest the best moments as clips, each scored from 0 to 100, and you can also cut from any line. Clips export in 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5, with the frame following the speaker and burned-in captions, ready for Stories, Reels and TikTok.
Can I caption toasts and speeches?
Yes. Captions come from the transcript, synced word by word, in one of 235 styles and 54 fonts, from classic to karaoke. For the full film, download an SRT. If a name comes out spelled another way, fix it in the text and the clip's captions follow.
How do I find the most emotional moments?
We tag the emotion of every line, so you see where the room got emotional and where it laughed without watching everything. The program is split into chapters, and search takes you to any word. On Studio and Agency, the hooks tab lists the strongest lines with an impact score.
Does it work with loud music and party noise?
The transcript follows the audio quality. Toasts made into a microphone usually come out well; chatter in the middle of the dance floor doesn't. If the camera picked up a lot of room noise, upload the soundboard audio for the transcript and paper edit. In captions, the hide sounds option removes music and applause tags.
Does it work for birthdays, retirements and quinceañeras?
Yes. Any celebration with speeches works: milestone birthdays, anniversaries, sweet sixteens, quinceañeras, retirement parties, baby showers. The workflow is the same: mark the range, read the lines, pick the best and send them to a clip or to your editor.
What does a party video cost?
You pay for the range you process. A 1 h 20 min program uses 1 h 20 min of your hours. Pro, at R$ 59 a month (R$ 49 on the annual plan), includes 10 hours. Speaker names, hooks, paper edits and editor export are on Studio, at R$ 89, with 20 hours. Try it for 3 days or 1 hour of material.
