Use Correct to fix a word in the transcript. Use Cut or Uncut when you want to change which speech remains in the edit.
Correct a word or phrase
- Select the text with the transcription error.
- Choose Correct in the selection controls, or use Shift+C.
- Enter the corrected wording and choose Apply.
- Review the text and play the section to check it.
Open the control screenshot at full size.
If Correct is unavailable, shorten the selection to text within one paragraph. A selection spanning multiple paragraphs cannot use this correction control.
Keep the spoken audio
A text correction changes the transcription. It does not replace the spoken recording with newly recorded words. If you want to remove speech from the video, use the cut controls and review the timeline.
For caption appearance and visibility, see Add and style captions. For a missing spoken phrase, use Uncut.
Export subtitles
Open Export and choose Subtitles (.srt) for a separate subtitle file. Check the exported file after your final text and timing changes. A separate subtitle file is different from text rendered into the picture.
When continuing in another editor
Check captions separately after importing a timeline. Do not assume that a timeline handoff carries every caption style, effect or overlay. Export and import the SRT separately when your destination workflow needs it.
Punctuation and independent text
Punctuation is represented separately from spoken words and is not a separately selectable transcript item. Select the adjacent words when checking a correction, then inspect the result. If punctuation-only changes do not take effect, export the SRT and edit its text in a subtitle editor; this changes that subtitle file, not the recorded audio or captions already rendered into a video.
For a logo or headline that is separate from the spoken captions, see image and text overlays. For wrong-language output or a supplied script, see transcription guidance.
