Create TRANSCRIPTS FAST in DaVinci Resolve: NEW FEATURE - In this video editing tutorial, Alli shows you how to quickly and easily create transcripts in DaVinci Resolve 18.5 Beta version. This works in the paid version only.
GENERATED CAPTIONS:
In the latest update of DaVinci Resolve Studio beta version, you now have the ability to create transcripts, and you can actually use these transcripts to edit, which is super cool. I'm going to show you that in a second. If you're new here, I'm Ali and Will, and I release weekly videos all about videography editing, as well as gear reviews. I'm almost done working on a tutorial teaching beginners how to use nodes. If you are newish to DaVinci, this is probably a great tutorial for you. So if you want to stay in the loop and see that when it comes out, subscribe to our channel. Now let's hop into Resolve and get started.
I'm in DaVinci Resolve's Cut page, and I have this talking head clip here that I'd like to transcribe and do some other cool stuff with. So let's right-click and choose "Transcribe Audio." It's going to take a minute to analyze the audio and try to describe it. Okay, so it's done now, but I can't see my transcription box that is supposed to pop up. So I'm just going to change the view and click this "Source Clip" button here, and here we go. We have our entire talking head clip transcribed with paragraphs, punctuation, words are capitalized. DaVinci's done a pretty great job.
If you want to increase the font size, you can go up here and click on this "+" to do so. Decrease the font size by choosing the "-". You can click the circle if you find it easier to view your text with a white background. And you can either press the space bar on your keyboard to start playing this through, or you can press the play button right here.
In the latest update of DaVinci Resolve Studio, we finally have gotten [Music] and as this plays through, you can see exactly where you are in the transcript box. So let's say you want to search for a specific word. You can click on the magnifying glass here, which brings up the search bar. Let's say, for example, I want to find where I said the word "subtitles." I'll type, then press enter. Okay, I said "subtitles" 19 times, and DaVinci brings me right to the first time it was said, with it highlighted. I can use these arrows to jump through to the next time it was said, the next time, and so on. You get the idea.
I'm going to close that search and click on the magnifying glass again to remove that search bar. We can go down here to the icon on the left to create a subclip, and this allows us to flex sections of our transcript and make them a clip on their own. I already have a paragraph selected. Let's click on "Create a Subclip," and I'll name it "One." Press "Create," and now we have just that part of our dialogue within its own subclip here.
Making subclips like this could be useful if you just want little quick sound bites for social media or something like that. Another thing you can do is text-based editing. So, you can select certain parts of your transcript and then, on the bottom right here, choose "Insert." And that chunk of your dialogue will then be brought onto the timeline. One thing I wish you could do was highlight a certain part of your talking head that you know you don't want in the video and then delete it. I feel like that would make text-based editing way faster because I could literally just look and go, "Okay, I know this part was a mistake. Here, I wanted it gone." And it'd be awesome to see that part of my clip just removed and an edit point made in my clip. But yeah, it does not look like we can do that so far. I know this is still the beta version, so hopefully, they make that aspect of this a little more intuitive. That'd be awesome.
And if you want to export your transcript, super easy to do. Go up here to the export icon, click on it, decide where you want to save it, name it what you'd like, and press save. And here's our transcript. And there you go, that's how to create transcripts in Resolve. Thanks for checking this video out.
