Transcript-Based Editing for Video Editors
Turn raw footage into a searchable, timestamped transcript for faster rough cuts and subtitle delivery — processed on your own machine, unlimited, no subscription.
Sound familiar?
Scrubbing through raw footage is slow
Finding the right soundbite in hours of interview or B-roll footage by ear wastes editing time.
Clients expect delivered subtitles
Accurate SRT/VTT delivery is now a standard part of the edit, not an afterthought.
Footage is often confidential
Unreleased client work or embargoed content shouldn't be uploaded to a cloud transcription service.
From recording to results
Import your footage
Drop in raw interview or B-roll footage — any video format, any length.

Find your soundbites

Common questions
Can I transcribe raw footage directly, without extracting audio first?
Yes — drop the video file in directly and ScribeForge extracts and transcribes the audio track automatically.
Can I burn subtitles directly into the exported video?
Yes — the subtitle burn-in tool permanently embeds captions into a video file, with control over font, size and position.
