Repurpose a webinar into course material
Each talk is an asset — if it escapes the event.
The chain
Get the recording out of QuickTime / macOS screen recording
File → Save after recording; screen recordings are MOV in the folder you chose (Desktop by default). For narration-only use, extract the audio — the MOV's video is usually dead weight.
Transcribe it
The script exists — you spoke it.
Cut lesson clips
Module-sized segments with captions.
For conference speakers: Your best moments become the promo reel.
Frequently asked
How do I repurpose a webinar into course material?
First transcribe it (whipscribe.com/upload) Then cut lesson clips (whipscribe.com/clipping). You end up with: A course drafted from a webinar you already gave.
Where does QuickTime / macOS screen recording store its recordings?
File → Save after recording; screen recordings are MOV in the folder you chose (Desktop by default). For narration-only use, extract the audio — the MOV's video is usually dead weight.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The free preparation tools run entirely in your browser (WebAssembly), and transcription is a web upload with an instant no-signup preview.
Is my file uploaded during the preparation steps?
No — the tools-online steps (extract, compress, trim, convert, clean up) process the file locally in your browser. Audio only uploads when you choose to transcribe it.
How accurate is the transcription?
Clear audio in major languages transcribes near-publishable; noisy or accented audio deserves a review pass. The instant preview shows real output on your own recording before you commit anything.
Why does this matter for conference speakers?
Your best moments become the promo reel.
