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!
Example:
Before: "Eight cars from each of the classes, though only seven hyper cars will go out already."
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.
