# THE PROBLEM

The client wants the exact moment the CEO said "we're changing how people think about healthcare." You know it happened during one of the sit-down interviews, but there were 14 takes across 3 shoot days. That's somewhere between 6 and 12 hours of dialogue footage, and the quote could be in any of them.

Your options are to scrub through every interview take, listening at 2x speed and hoping you don't miss it, or ask someone on set if they remember which take it was (they don't). Either way, you're losing hours to find a single sentence.

This is one of the most common and most frustrating tasks in post. You know the footage exists. You just can't get to it without watching everything between here and there.
