How it works
Built for the stage between the shoot and the first cut.
MOV, MP4 and WebM go straight up. For large camera originals, export the sound as WAV or MP3 first; it is a fraction of the size. Files over 500 MB continue on the upload page.
Every word carries a timestamp. In the transcript view, interviewer and subject appear as labelled speaker turns.
Download SRT or VTT for a subtitle track, DOCX or TXT for a paper edit, JSON if you script your own tools.
In the cutting room
Search interview transcripts for the line you remember. Word-level timestamps tell you where it starts and ends, so you can set in and out points without scrubbing.
Export DOCX or TXT, highlight the strongest answers and arrange them into a story outline before anyone opens the timeline.
Download SRT or VTT to bring the words into editing software that accepts subtitle files, or to caption a rough cut for review.
Transcripts stay in a searchable library, so a name, place or phrase can be found across interviews from every shoot day.
Preparing footage
Camera originals can pass 5 GB per clip. Exporting the sound as WAV or MP3 keeps well inside the limit: a 128 kbps MP3 is about 58 MB per hour.
Name each upload after its clip, card or reel, so every transcript maps back to the right media in your project.
In the transcript view, interviewer, subject and anyone who joins in appear as labelled speaker turns, so you can skip the questions and read the answers.
Contributors usually sign a release for filming. Make sure your paperwork and any footage agreements allow material to be transcribed by an online service. General guidance, not legal advice.
