How to Find Clipchamp's Audio and Video Settings

Microsoft Clipchamp provides two options for automated captions in the Video Settings for user-produced videos: generate or upload.

The generate option will auto-generate captions that are 85 to 90% accurate. If you never edited your original Zoom transcript, we recommend using the generate option. If you did substantial work on the Zoom transcript. We recommend downloading the transcript from Zoom and then using the upload option.

In Clipchamp, open the Zoom video you uploaded so that it opens on Clipchamp's player page.
Select Video settings on the right side of the player window.
In the Video settings, click on Transcripts and captions to open that feature's panel.
Select the generate or upload option.
