Transcripts you can cut from

You remember she said something about her father, about two thirds of the way through the interview. With a transcript you read for it instead of listening for it.

In B/side you load a clip, open the Transcript panel and transcribe it. The words come back with a frame on every one of them. Select the words you want and that phrase is marked in the Source monitor, ready to splice into the cut.

What you can do

• Transcribe the clips you need. Nothing happens until you ask, so a big ingest never turns into a surprise bill.
• Read instead of scrub. A long interview becomes a page you can skim.
• Tell voices apart. Different voices in a recording are separated, and you name them once.
• Mark by selecting words. The marked range always contains every word you selected, so a phrase never loses its first syllable.
• Cut it in with the keys you know. Splice or overwrite the phrase into the timeline like any other marked clip.

Why it matters

Interview-led work lives on what people say. Building a radio cut from transcripts lets you shape the story by reading, then watch it back and refine it on picture.

Producers often start with a paper edit written from a transcript anyway. With the transcript next to the footage, a selected sentence is already a marked clip.

What it costs

Every paid plan includes transcript hours each month: 2 on Creator, 3 on an editor seat, 10 on Studio and 25 on Production. Included hours reset each month and do not roll over. After that, transcription is $0.60 an hour of footage, so a one hour interview costs sixty cents and a ten hour shoot costs six dollars. The Free plan does not include transcription.
