Heads up! Initially, you might see a processing status on the video you uploaded. This indicates the video is being transcribed and getting ready for further edits.

What happens after you upload
The Ready to Edit notification means your transcript is ready. You can start editing the transcript and creating clips right away.
Content Lab continues to analyse your video in the background. The video card shows Analysing while this happens. When the analysis is complete, speaker and screenshare tracks appear on the timeline, and speaker layouts become available in the clip customizer. Until then, clips use the Original layout.
Note: Template selection isn't part of the upload process. After your video is ready, apply a template from the Templates tab in the clip customizer.
