Do you have a video or audio file you want to transcribe and further customize? On Pictory, you can do more than create new videos, you can edit and customize your pre-existing video and audio files too.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can do this.
For transcribing and editing preexisting videos, on the homepage, select the box labeled — 'Edit videos with AI'.
On the next page, uploading the video or audio you wish to edit.
We recommend choosing the language used in the video before you proceed for optimal transcription.
It's set to 'English US' by default but you should change this if your video is in a different language.
Once you have uploaded the file, Pictory's unique AI will work to transcribe the voice from the video.
This may take a few seconds, but you can click on the 'Home' button to work on other things and the transcription will continue in the background.
To view the progress of your video with voice transcription, you can click the bell icon in the upper right-hand corner. You will also receive an email to the registered email address notifying you when transcription is complete.
Once the transcription is done, you will be directed to the summary page where you will see the transcription on the left and the video preview on the right.
From here, you can edit the transcript directly on the left panel and the changes will be reflected in the video as well.
Note that deleting words or sentences from the transcription will change the video itself, other changes will only affect the subtitles.
Here's how some of the features work:
The preview screen on the right will allow you to see how the changes you make to the transcript reflect onto your video.
You can choose your text style as shown in the screenshot. The 'Styles Library' includes all the default styles and 'My Styles' includes your custom styles.
When you highlight a text on the left panel you will see options as shown below:
When the edits are done, click 'Download video' to download the video.
If you would like to further customize your video to add b-rolls, background music, etc., click 'Customize video'.
Clicking 'Customize video' will direct you to the storyboard where you can proceed to customize your video to your liking.
