1. Upload your footage to Scenery

As your media begins to upload, you will see a progress report/status of your media. Once complete, you will be able to quickly scan through and preview all your assets.

2. Select your footage and "Click to transcribe"

3. Add your footage to a new scene

To make the most of this new editing experience, start assembling your video in the Main Track. The Main Track is a dedicated space for the primary content of your video. In the Main Track all trimming operations automatically ripple the timeline, moving all clips downstream in your Scene. You can think of the Main track as always keeping time, pushing your story as it grows. The Main Track will keep all of your assets in place and in-sync with one another.

💡 Note: The Main Track is identified on the left side of the timeline as “Main A/V” to indicate this track accepts Video and Video with Audio clips.

  1. Drag media from your media library or project onto the Main track of the timeline

  2. Preview your source media, select the range of the media you’d like in your final edit, and click “Add to End” [E]

💡 Note: When you initially drag/drop media into your timeline, you will be guided to confirm your Scene settings. Here, you can determine your Scene name, the aspect ratio of your video, edit rate and the color background of your video.

4. Automatically turn your transcription into a captions track

💡 Note: While we continue to develop our language support, there are some language limitations:

  1. Inability to transcribe multiple languages. If you have a video file with multiple languages, Scenery will not be able to detect a transcription at this time.

  2. Inability to translate from one language to another. Currently, you cannot translate one language into another language. For example, you cannot take English audio and create Spanish subtitles.
