Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer storage media providing visualizations and mechanisms utilized when performing video edits using wrapped timelines (e.g., effect bars/effect tracks) interspersed between text lines representing video effects being applied to text segments in a transcript. An example embodiment provides a transcript using an audio track from a transcribed video. A transcript interface presents the transcript and accepts an input selecting sentences or words from the transcript. The identified boundaries corresponding to the selected text segment are used as boundaries for a selected video segment. Using the selected text segment, a user selects a video effect in which to apply to the corresponding video segment and within the transcript interface, a wrapped timeline is placed in the transcript along the selected text segment to indicate that the video effect is applied to the corresponding video segment.
