Hey gang -- here's a pretty big one for you: I tried to export my captions as an SRT so I can do some SEO for the episode, and when it exported to my computer I ended up with a TOTALLY FOREIGN CONVERSATION!! Literally the partial transcript from some other person's podcast episode.
This really made me wary of what's happening to the transcripts for the work I'm doing here - what if I was working on something highly confidential for a client?
Here's how this happened:
  • had already made captions
  • remembered I needed to export the SRT, so selected all my captions in the timeline and chose "Edit Selected Captions" -- if gave me an error message about it being 20MB or less - but then I saw in the next window that it was green and said "transcript loaded", so I exported the SRT file anyway -- but then when I found the file, dated to today's date on my computer it was this:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Okay gang, this is the video called something like seven habits that save me three hours a day and
2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,680
what I'm gonna do is I'll
3
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:11,720
Try a few different hooks, but if we can kind of like
4
00:00:12,459 --> 00:00:17,420
show that you chink the church a chink chink chink I'm gonna say for each habit like how much time it saves and
5
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:21,240
At the end it's gonna add up to three hours and I'm gonna count down from seven
6
00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:24,120
So let's just let's give it a go and see what happens
7
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:25,980
testing testing
8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,320
Good
9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:28,720
fantastic
10
00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:31,080
All right
11
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,100
How are we phrasing this
12
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:39,860
