Transcribe a Canon EOS C70 interview day every answer, ready for the edit.
Ten 40-minute interviews filmed on a Canon EOS C70 come back as text in about 13 minutes in all, each one in under 2 minutes, once you upload an audio export rather than the camera files. The first 20 minutes are free; the day's 400 minutes fit the $6 pack of 500.
Interview shoots, written up
A C70 interview day produces a lot of footage and a short list of answers the client cares about. The transcript finds them.
Know your codec
Depending on how the camera was set and its firmware, C70 clips may be XF-AVC in an MXF wrapper, an MP4 variant, or Cinema RAW Light. MP4 files can upload as they are if they are small enough; for MXF and RAW, export the sound from your editor first. Check the recording format menu if you are unsure.
Mixing the inputs
The C70's mini-XLR inputs mean a lav on one channel and a backup or boom on another. Mix the useful channels into one track and export MP3: a 40-minute interview is a few dozen megabytes and fits this page's box. A WAV over 500 MB continues on the upload page.
A month of shoot days
One day of ten 40-minute interviews is 400 minutes, inside the $6 pack of 500. Five such days in a month come to exactly 2,000 minutes, the size of the $12 pack. A busier season goes to the $24 pack of 5,000.
From answers to deliverables
Each interview returns with a brief, chapters with timestamps, key quotes and the names, figures and dates mentioned. The person interviewed is named in the summary, quotes and chapters. Pull the quotes for a case study, the chapters for a selects list, and DOCX for the client's sign-off.

FAQ
Canon EOS C70 interviews: common questions.
How long does a 40-minute C70 interview take?
Under 2 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A full day of ten interviews takes about 13 minutes in total.
Can I upload the camera files directly?
MP4 clips can upload if they are 5 GB or less once a pack is on the account, or 2 GB or less before the first pack. MXF and RAW files are best sent as an audio export; the transcript is the same either way.
What does a busy month of shoots cost?
Five days of ten 40-minute interviews are 2,000 minutes, which the $12 pack of 2,000 covers exactly. If you expect more, the $24 pack of 5,000 leaves headroom. Packs are one-time and the credits never expire.
Do the people on camera need to agree to being recorded?
Interview subjects normally sign a release before filming; follow your production's process and the consent rules where you shoot. WhipScribe works only on the file you upload.
Can I hand the transcript straight to the client?
Most teams export DOCX, tidy product names and highlight the quotes they recommend. The transcript is a working document for the edit.
Which exports come back, and is the footage private?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. There is no plugin or connection to Canon's software.
