Using the video transcript in the video editor, you can trim and restore sections, remove pauses, edit or replace spoken words, and generate new clips from specific parts of your primary video. Changes you make in the transcript are automatically reflected in your clip on the composition timeline.
Before you get started
Before editing your video clip, review how the transcript is structured and what to expect based on your track type.
In the transcript, each section reflects a video or image section, with timestamps that match the order of the composition timeline. For example, if a video is split in half, the transcript reflects two sections.
If you reorder tracks on the timeline, the updated order is automatically reflected in the transcript.
Sections not included in the clip are greyed out and displayed with a strikethrough. For example, sections that have been trimmed.
For slide tracks or videos without a transcript, a scrubber block displays a thumbnail, track name, and seek slider. You can use the seek slider to navigate the content or identify and delete the track using theellipses three horizontal dots icon to delete the track.
