Video Transcription automatically converts spoken audio in a video into text, complete with speaker labels and timestamps. You can view, search, edit, and export the transcript to quickly access dialogue, voiceovers, and other spoken content, making it easier to find information, organize scripts, and prepare content for further use.
Video Transcription is useful for videos that contain dialogue, voiceovers, interviews, presentations, or other spoken content. Common use cases include:
Open the video asset and click the Video Transcription icon in the toolbar on the right.
The transcript is displayed in segments following the order of speech in the video. Each segment includes:
Use the timestamps to quickly locate the corresponding part of the original video without repeatedly scrubbing through the timeline.
For longer videos with extensive transcripts, use the Search keywords field at the top of the panel to find specific content.
This is particularly useful when you need to locate product names, people, brand information, key lines, or specific topics within a long video.
If the automatically generated transcript contains errors or needs further refinement, click the Edit icon at the top of the panel.
In edit mode, you can update the transcribed text directly. When you're finished, click Confirm in the upper-right corner to save your changes. To discard your changes, click Cancel.
π‘ Tip: We recommend reviewing automatically generated transcripts against the original video, especially when they contain brand names, product names, or industry-specific terminology.
To use the transcript for script preparation, content reviews, or other workflows, click Β·Β·Β· in the upper-right corner and select Export Transcript.
The transcript for the current video will be exported, so you can continue working with it outside MuseDAM.
