Back in the day, editing dialogue in video involved watching the video and then editing the frames. A video editor was a video editor. Today, with the help of AI, which, yes, can edit video, transcript-based video editing is a thing. Here are two common places where you can use it in your content creation.
Editing of video podcast episodes
I stream and record my podcast episodes with Restream. From there, you can easily export the episode in Descript, a transcript-based video editor.
Once the file has been moved over, you can edit the video by editing the transcript.
Easy breezy, and for the most part, you don’t even have to edit video at all and just edit the transcript.
Editing of clips from video podcasts
I’m a big fan of grabbing short video clips from my podcast episodes to promote the content even further, often standalone. Using Opus Clips, I get some initial clips created by the program’s AI. From there, I can also edit the text to edit the final video file. I can also add prior sections of the transcript or later ones. In essence, 99 percent of my “video” editing here is actually the editing of the copy.
No doubt, editing video by editing the transcript certainly has made this task easier for many – including me. I would highly recommend it.
