## Export guide

### Give viewers a reading copy

Pair a lecture or webinar replay with a PDF transcript so readers can review an explanation or print the discussion. Check references such as “this chart” against the video and share the slides alongside the PDF when they carry context.

### Help readers find the moment in the video

Enable section timestamps before exporting when the PDF is a companion to the original recording. Review the sections around topic changes and audience questions so readers can use the times to find the relevant part of the replay.

### Make spoken references readable on the page

A lecture often contains references such as “the second column” that made sense only on screen. If the PDF needs to stand on its own, add a short editorial note identifying the slide in your document editor, or send the deck beside the transcript. Keep the lecturer’s wording intact for passages you plan to quote.

### Share the right kind of PDF

A transcript PDF suits a viewer who wants to read what was said or review a discussion without replaying the whole lesson. If the deliverable is a deck of still images or slide screenshots, create it from the slides or video separately. For words that need to appear during playback, export an SRT or WebVTT track from the same transcription.

### Prepare a lecture replay and transcript

-   Check that the lecture recording includes the microphone and audience questions.
-   Share the slides separately if readers need to interpret spoken references.
-   Put the replay and PDF together so readers can use section times to find the discussion.

## Frequently asked questions

What happens to slides and video frames?

The PDF contains the transcribed speech. To include presentation visuals, share a separate copy of the slides or attach stills in a document editor.

Can I create a PDF from a silent video?

Transcription needs an audio track with speech. A silent clip has no dialogue for the PDF.

Can I use the PDF as a caption track?

Use the PDF for reading or printing. Export SRT or WebVTT when the video player needs start and end times for each cue.
