Export guide
Build a review log for a panel or presentation
Open the exported CSV in a spreadsheet and add columns for topic, approval, or follow-up. The text rows let you skim dialogue while the available start and end times help you find each passage in the original footage.
Preserve the time values when importing
If your spreadsheet changes the display of the Start and End columns, import them as text to retain the exported timestamps. Keep the original CSV as a reference if reviewers will add columns, resort rows, or combine multiple recordings.
Give reviewers an edit log they can act on
For each passage worth reviewing, keep the Start and End cells and add the source file version, a topic tag, and a review decision in your spreadsheet. That gives an editor enough information to find the footage and tell whether the quote has been approved, needs context, or belongs in a different cut.
Keep recording time and edit time distinct
The CSV reflects elapsed playback time in the file you uploaded. If a video editor uses an embedded starting timecode or the footage sits after an intro on a larger timeline, account for the offset before entering edit points. Keep the CSV tied to its source file when the footage is re-edited.
Hand off a video review sheet
- Preserve the timestamp text and add the matching video filename or version.
- Check the editor’s sequence offset before turning the times into edit points.
- Use a separate review column for decisions and retain the raw export.
Frequently asked questions
What columns are in a video transcript CSV?
The export uses Start, End, Speaker, and Text. Missing timing or speaker values leave those cells blank.
Can I use the CSV as a caption track?
Use CSV for spreadsheet review. Export SRT or VTT to add a timed subtitle track to the video.
Can I calculate the length of each quoted passage?
In your spreadsheet, convert the Start and End values into a time or seconds column and subtract the start from the end. Skip rows where either value is blank.
