The YouTube Transcript tool is a highly efficient tool for analyzing long YouTube videos, especially 2-3 hour podcasts or interviews, and quickly identifying the most meaningful or entertaining moments. For short-form content creators, manually reviewing long videos to find suitable clips can be time-consuming and challenging. This tool simplifies the process by offering features such as Chapters, Summaries, Transcript Search, and Popular Sections, allowing users to pinpoint key moments efficiently. Additionally, it can be used to download and manage transcripts for further purposes.
1. Input URL and Fetch Transcript
Users can input the URL of the YouTube video they want to analyze. By clicking the "Get Transcript" button, the tool automatically fetches the transcript of the video. If the video lacks a transcript, an error message will be displayed.
2. Summaries and Chapters
The tool provides a concise summary of the video’s content, enabling users to quickly grasp the overall theme. The Chapters feature divides the video into key sections based on a timeline, allowing users to understand the structure and navigate directly to specific parts.
3. Transcript Download
Users can download the transcript in TXT or SRT formats. Additionally, the "Copy All" button allows users to copy the entire transcript for external use, making it convenient for storage or further editing.
4. Popular Sections
The tool analyzes and highlights the most popular sections of the video. This feature helps users quickly locate moments that are likely to be engaging or significant based on audience interaction.
This data is visible only for the videos for which the Most Replayed graph is available on the original YouTube video.
5. Transcript Search and Selection
Users can search for specific words or phrases within the transcript, making it easier to find relevant parts.
6. Make Shorts
After locating the most interesting part of the video, users can generate short-form videos by setting Start and End times. These times can either be entered manually or automatically populated by clicking the input field and selecting specific lines in the transcript.
Once the times are set, users can click the "Make Shorts" button to proceed to Ssemble’s short-form video creation page.
This feature is particularly useful for clippers looking to extract impactful moments from lengthy content to repurpose them as engaging short videos.
