Edit by Transcript (similar to Riverside, CapCut, and Descript)
It would be really useful to auto-generate a transcript of a recorded video in Screen Studio and then edit the video via the generated transcript. Riverside, CapCut, and Descript are doing this well. Here's a video showing how CapCut is doing it: https://youtu.be/7QbN583ZkXY
I could also see highlighting a sentence in the transcript and quickly applying a Zoom to that sentence to add a Zoom in the timeline.
Editing via a transcript is really helpful, especially if you're doing multiple takes of the same sentence and you can quickly delete the 3, 4, or 12 bad takes quickly. 😅

+1 on better editing abilities on captions. ⭐ This is unfortunately a huge blocker for me right now. 😥
As soon as I have made cuts in my video my auto generated captions are way off in timing (even though I generate them after I have made all of my edits).
I need to be able to change the timing in some way – if it’s in a captions editor or as a captions timeline does not really matter.
A temporary, easy, solution would be letting one upload captions. In that case I could export the generated captions, open them in a code/text editor, change the time stamps, an upload it again.

I had to migrate to Descript for this. It’s essential to do base editing. Also include long pauses and the sorts to easily trim that.
Ability to edit supported by AI. This would be the same as the function that many modern editors incorporate where they do the transcription for you and by cutting out the text you edit the video. It also detects silences and can remove them all at once.

Text-based editing
Could you guys add text-based editing like CapCut, Descript, and Adobe have? It would make editing so much easier and faster for us. Thanks!

This would be absolutely epic. I’d ditch Premiere Pro in this case.

Hi, just letting you guys know here I moved to Borumi as it supports editing by transcript and Screen Studio does not.
I hope you listen to the customer feedback and implement this soon or you will soon lose the edge you have in the market.
Thanks

This would be fire. I’d completely ditch Descript in this case
