VIDEO SEGMENT SELECTION AND EDITING USING TRANSCRIPT INTERACTIONS

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for identifying candidate boundaries for video segments, video segment selection using those boundaries, and text-based video editing of video segments selected via transcript interactions. In an example implementation, boundaries of detected sentences and words are extracted from a transcript, the boundaries are retimed into an adjacent speech gap to a location where voice or audio activity is a minimum, and the resulting boundaries are stored as candidate boundaries for video segments. As such, a transcript interface presents the transcript, interprets input selecting transcript text as an instruction to select a video segment with corresponding boundaries selected from the candidate boundaries, and interprets commands that are traditionally thought of as text based operations (e.g., cut, copy, paste) as an instruction to perform a corresponding video editing operation using the selected video segment. 1700 r 1710 INGEST VIDEO EXTRACT TRANSCRIPT -1715 DIARIZE TRANSCRIPT -1720 SEGMENT TRANSCRIPT -1725 SEGMENT VIDEO -1730 IF r 1720 PRESENT DIARIZED, SEGMENTED TRANSCRIPT IN EDITOR INTERFACE IF_ K,-1730 INTERPRET TEXT SELECTION AS VIDEO SEGMENT SELECTION IF r 1740 INTERPRET TEXT EDITING COMMAND AS VIDEO EDITING COMMAND IF__ r1750 EXECUTE VIDEO EDITING COMMAND ON VIDEO SEGMENT
