Text-Based Video Editing
After a Transcribe command has been applied, DaVinci Resolve now knows the exact timecode position of each word in the clip, and that information opens up several useful text-based editing tools using the Transcription Window. Text-based video editing is available in the both the Cut and Edit pages.
The cursor in the Transcription Window and the playhead in the Viewer are linked. As you move the cursor in the text, the playhead updates to that respective position in the clip in the Viewer. This allows you to precisely place the playhead exactly where you want it based on the text word, rather than having to scrub back and forth through the audio track.
— Click on a word in the Transcript Window, and it will highlight with a red arrow. The viewer playhead will then jump directly to the end of that word in the clip in the Viewer.
In addition to the cursor and playhead being linked, the In and Out points of a clip are also linked to the selected range of the text in the Transcription Window.
— Click and drag over the text in the Transcription Window to highlight it in teal. The In point of the clip is set just before the first word, and the Out point is set just after the last word in the highlighted text.
Selecting a text range in the Transcription window (R), automatically sets In and Out points for that range on the clip in the Viewer (L).
With an In and Out range set, you can now use the editing tools in the Transcription window to perform some common editing and media management functions.
