How do I work with the live editor?
Editing Transcripts in Real-Time Using the Live Editor
Steps to Use the Live Editor:
Once you have activated the live editor for your live stream workflow, follow these steps to begin editing transcripts in real-time:
-
Start Your Stream:
- Ensure your stream is live.
-
Access the Live Editor:
- On your workflow editing page, go to the Overview tab.
- Open the Processing dropdown menu.
- Copy the URL from "Shared Editor" and paste it into a new browser window.
- Enter the provided PIN to access the editor.
-
Viewing Transcripts:
- As the stream runs, the transcripts will appear line by line in the original language.
- The line currently being spoken is highlighted and synchronized with the player in the bottom left corner.
- Editable text is displayed in white on a black background. Once the text is sent to output ("egress"), it becomes grey and can no longer be edited.
Sent to Egress:
Once the text is "sent to egress", it is finalized, published and can no longer be edited.
The text will appear in grey, signaling that it’s been processed for publishing.
-
Editing Transcripts:
- To edit a line, simply click on the transcript where you'd like to make changes. This will pause auto-scrolling.
- Make your edits directly in the text.
- When finished, you can restart auto-scrolling by clicking the "A" symbol in the top-right corner, or jump back to the synchronized position with the video by clicking the "Current Paragraph" symbol
Formatting Options:
- You can adjust how the transcript is displayed in the editor by going to the Validation tab.
Note: These formatting changes only apply to how the text looks in the editor and do not affect the final subtitles.
Subtitles Formatting:
- To modify the final look of the subtitles, use the formatting options under the Burned-In or Closed Caption settings in your workflow's Output configuration page.
- For HLS transcripts, use your video player's options to control how subtitles are displayed.
