What is a Video Transcript?

A video transcript is like a text version of everything said in a video. It helps you see and edit the words.

How Do I Change the Words in My Transcript?

First, you need your transcript. It can be made for you or you can upload it. You can upload a file like .srt when you make a new video. Look for the "advanced editing" part.

1. Change Text Directly ✍️

  • Click on the words you want to change.

  • Type to fix spelling errors.

  • Make sentences better.

  • Make sure words match the video.

  • Example: Change "gonna" to "going to."

2. Add New Words

  • Put your mouse where you want to add text.

  • Right-click your mouse.

  • Choose "Add Now."

  • You can add words before or after other text.

  • Example: Add "Welcome to the tutorial!"

3. Delete Words

  • Click on the three dots next to the words you want to remove.

  • Choose "Delete."

How Do I Combine or Split Dialogue?

You can make sentences longer or shorter.

1. Merge Dialogue (Combine)

  • If two sentences are separate but should be one, you can join them.

  • Choose the first sentence you want to combine.

  • Look for "Merge" in the three dots menu.

  • This joins the current sentence with the next one.


    Example:

    • Before: "Welcome to our channel." "Achieving your goals isn't about luck."

    • After: "Welcome to our channel. Achieving your goals isn't about luck."

    2. Split Dialogue (Divide)

    • You can split long sentences into two parts.

    • Move the play bar on the sound wave in the video.

    • Right-click your mouse.

    • Choose "Split at cursor position."

    • A window will pop up. Move the bar to decide where to split.

    • Click "Save." Now you have two sentences instead of one!

      • After: "Eight cars from each of the classes," "though only seven hyper cars will go out already."


​How Do I Change the Timing of the Words? ⏱️

Timestamps link words to the exact video part.

  • You will see times next to the words.

  • Click on these times to change them.

  • Make the start and end times match the video.

  • You can also move or stretch the sound wave.

What Should I Do After Editing My Transcript?

Always watch your video after you make changes. This makes sure everything is correct. Play the video to check the timing and words.

🎉 By following these steps, you can effectively edit the transcript of your video, ensuring that the text matches the content perfectly and provides a smooth viewing experience for your audience.
