Editing a Transcript
Thanks Matt, glad you ar liking Stream.
Right now we don't have a transcription editor in Stream directly. However you can download the auto-generated caption file, edit it locally in a text editor and re-upload it.
So it would be as follows...
- After the autogenerated caption file is created and shows the transcript mode on the video.
- Edit the video
- Options section > Captions > "Download file"
- Open up the .VTT file downloaded in a text editor, make corrections, etc.
- Go back and edit the video > Options > Captions
- Uncheck the "autogenerate a caption file" check box.
- "Upload a caption" file button.
- Upload your edited .VTT file.
We'll then use your new custom caption file for the transcript mode and deep search.
NOTE: We'll be adding ability to edit the transcript direclty in Stream in the future as I know the above isn't intuitive or easy.

Hi, I've been following these instructions and its much easier to edit a transcript this way than in Stream. However, when I get to this step:
Go back and edit the video > Options > Captions
- Uncheck the "autogenerate a caption file" check box.
I find the check box greyed out and only the Download file option available.
I originally uploaded a file, then found out it needed further editing and downloaded it. Now I am ready to upload the edited version and I'm stuck.
Is there a way to just delete the original uploaded transcript? Or another way to upload a replacement file?
