• The clip's file is transcribed on this Mac once and kept in the project, so doing it again is quick.
• Only the words inside the clip's part are taken, at its place and speed, also through speed keyframes.
• They go onto the caption track of the language heard, replacing the captions that were over that clip before.
• A progress window says which clip of how many, with Stop. The captions made so far stay.
• It is one undo step.

Camera files on a network share

In a camera file the sound is a few megabytes woven between the picture's frames. The app now reads only the sound, so a 3.7 GB GoPro file on a network share transcribes in about 33 seconds instead of 150. Whole sequences and From Footage read sound the same way.

Included in Pro and in the 3-day free trial. On Creator it carries the PRO badge; transcribing the whole sequence works in every plan.
