Workshop transcription, turned into handouts. And clips that fill the next session.
Workshop transcription keeps every explanation, tip and question as text, with every word timed. Upload the video or paste a YouTube link. We keep the facilitator apart from participants, split the recording into chapters by step and exercise, deliver a PDF for attendees and suggest scored, captioned clips to promote your next session.
Updated
What a workshop loses without a transcript. And how to get each piece back.
The facilitator can't take notes
While you run the room, you are explaining, answering and walking between tables. Nobody writes everything down. The transcript keeps every line with the time it was said, with participants kept apart from the facilitator. Afterwards, save the best lines as favorites and use search to find the tip someone asked you to repeat.
Exercises buried in three hours of video
We split the recording into chapters by step: intro, concept, exercise, critique. Attendees jump straight to exercise 2 instead of scrubbing. If the replay goes on YouTube, paste the chapters into the description: the list starts at 0:00 and needs at least three chapters of 10 seconds or more. On Studio and Agency, each chapter lists its key moments, like every round of feedback.
Post-event handouts nobody has time to build
Review the transcript and export it as a PDF: that is your handout, in the words you actually used. On Studio and Agency, generate a mind map or a flowchart of the method so attendees can review it on one page. MP3 excerpts work for people who would rather listen.
Promote the next session with this one
We suggest 4 to 60 clips per video, each with a 0 to 100 score and a moment type: teaching, humor, emotion, story. Ask in plain text for "only practical tips and attendee reactions". Clips come out in 9:16 with the frame following the speaker, captions in any of our 235 styles and any of our 48 templates. Add the next date as on-screen text; on Studio and Agency, your logo too.
Full-day and two-day workshops
There is no length limit per file, only your plan's hours. Upload the morning and afternoon blocks as separate files and keep them in one event project. Before processing, pick the range: the pre-start wait and the housekeeping at the end stay out of your quota.
Multiple cameras, or an editor on the team
On Studio and Agency, export a cut timeline to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (.xml) or Final Cut Pro (.fcpxml), built from your favorites or selected excerpts. If the project has multicam or external audio, send us the project's .xml or .fcpxml and we cut on top of your own timeline.
How to turn a workshop recording into handouts and clips
- 01
Upload the recording
An audio or video file, or a YouTube link, livestreams included. Mark the teaching part and leave the waiting and announcements out.
- 02
We structure the session
Transcript with every participant separated, chapters by step and exercise, and clips with a score and a moment type.
- 03
Share it and promote the next one
PDF and chapters for attendees, a mind map to review the method, and captioned vertical clips to announce the next session.
A 3-hour workshop, from upload to the follow-up email
A photographer runs a product photography workshop for 14 people in her studio, recorded with one locked-off camera and a lav mic. On upload, she trims the 15 minutes of waiting at the start, picks 30 to 59 s clips and adds one instruction: "practical tips and attendee reactions".
The transcript keeps her voice apart from attendee questions. The chapters follow the day's plan: ground rules, light, phone exercise, group critique. On Studio, the moments inside the critique mark each photo she reviewed, and she saves the lines she wants to reuse next time as favorites.
The next morning, the follow-up email carries the replay link with chapters in the description, the reviewed PDF of the transcript and a mind map of the method: light, background, angle, editing. Anyone who left at lunch catches the exercise from its chapter instead of asking in the group chat.
For promotion, she picks three high-scoring clips: a lighting tip, an attendee reacting to her finished shot and the poster board line. All in 9:16, with Box captions, a social post template and the next workshop date written on screen.

Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a recorded workshop into handouts?
Upload the recording and review the transcript we deliver, with every participant separated and chapters by step. Export it as a PDF handout and, on Studio and Agency, generate a mind map or a flowchart of the method. Chapters go into the replay description, and MP3 excerpts work for people who prefer to listen.
Can I clip it to promote the next session?
Yes. We suggest clips with a 0 to 100 score and a moment type, and you can ask in plain text for what you want, like "only practical tips". Clips come out in 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9, with the frame following the speaker, burned-in captions and on-screen text such as the next date.
Does it work with lots of people talking?
Yes. Lines are separated by speaker on every plan. On Studio and Agency, you can name each participant or have us identify them automatically. For best results, keep a mic close to the facilitator and repeat audience questions before answering.
What if the workshop runs all day?
There is no length limit per file. Upload the morning and afternoon separately if you like, and keep them in one event project. What counts is your plan's hours: a 6-hour day uses 6 hours.
Can the clips carry my branding?
Yes. On-screen text, backgrounds and shapes are on every plan, and on Studio and Agency you can add your logo from the media library. Paid plans have no watermark; during the trial, clips end with the FilmScribe mark.
Can I take the workshop into my video editor?
On Studio, Agency and the trial, export a cut timeline to Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve (.xml) or Final Cut Pro (.fcpxml), built from favorites, excerpts or a clip. You set the handles and the gap between excerpts before exporting.
How much does workshop transcription cost?
You pay for the range you process: a 3-hour workshop uses 3 hours of your plan. Pro, at R$ 59 a month, includes 10 hours and covers one workshop a month with room to spare. Mind maps, logos on clips and editor timelines come with Studio, at R$ 89 with 20 hours. Try it first for 3 days or 1 hour of material.
