Video is missing audio transcript

💻 Environment/Context

  • Transcript
  • Subtitles
  • Video file

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • There are still many files that have not had transcriptions generated. Not sure what the issue is?
  • Why do some media have auto-generated transcripts while others don’t?
  • I need the spanish SRT file that was not generated on the media.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Upload method could affect the transcript generation: 
    • Files uploaded via MASV upload links or migrated (Archive) media will not auto-trigger transcript generation.
    • Large files can also cause issues for auto transcript generation (over 1,5GB).
  • The media must be uploaded via the upload tab on web browser for auto transcript generation.
  • The transcript will be generated using only the first audio track of the file, if it contains multiple.

 

  • Potential workarounds:
    • Download the 720p proxy of the video and re-upload it - it'll reduce the size of the video and regenerates the transcript
    • Clip the whole video to 720p and publish the clipped video to the media library - this may also generate the complete transcript
