## Export guide

### Use spoken text to index a video library

Read the content field of the JSON export to index the full transcript. If your interface also links to moments in the footage, check the timestamps array for the relevant segment and a valid start time before building a playback link.

### Keep the transcript tied to the matching edit

Associate the JSON with the version of the video you transcribed. Removing an intro or cutting a section later changes where dialogue appears in playback. Export a new transcript for the updated video if your integration relies on accurate cue times.

### Create a search result that opens at the right moment

Store the video ID and transcript together in your index. For a query match, find the segment that contains the phrase and check its start time before exposing a jump link. If timing is missing, let viewers open the video at the beginning and show the matching passage in the results.

### Validate the JSON against your player’s timeline

Segment times are measured in seconds from the start of the uploaded copy. Check a hit in the middle and another near the end of the published video. A new pre-roll, an omitted section, or a revised cut can break those links even when the text still appears accurate.

### Index a video transcript

-   Associate the JSON with a specific video ID and edit version.
-   Use valid segment starts for jumps and show the transcript if timing is missing.
-   Keep VTT available as a separate track when the browser needs selectable captions.

## Frequently asked questions

Does the JSON export include visual information?

It contains the speech transcript and available transcript segments. Keep the original video as the source of frames, slides, and on-screen text.

Which format should I use for browser captions?

Use WebVTT if your player expects a caption file. JSON is for workflows that read transcript fields directly.

Are the video URL and filename inside the JSON?

The Notes export contains content and timestamps. Save the video’s identifier, filename, and any playback URL alongside the JSON in your own index.
