  1. Download the video (.mp4) and caption (.vtt) files from the zoom web interface when they have finished processing.

    1. Note: if you are using both the audio transcript and live transcript options in Zoom, you may get two separate caption files. They're not identical, so you could review each to see which is a better starting point.
  2. Convert .vtt file to .srt format: https://www.happyscribe.com/subtitle-tools/convert-vtt-to-srt

    1. Note: In case happyscribe.com changes, the Zoom transcript .vtt file contains the sequential numbers necessary for a .srt file. Using regular expressions (find: (\.)(\d{3}) replace: ,($2)), you can just delete WebVTT from the top and save it as a .srt file.
  3. Open Adobe Premier Pro and start a new project

  4. Import the .mp4 and .srt files

  5. Drag the video onto the timeline, ensuring that the video is in V1 and the audio is in A1. 

    1. In my attempt, it included a transcript track at the end in V1, so I just selected and deleted it.

  6. Drag the transcript onto the timeline. Make sure that it is in V2.

  7. Open the .srt file in a text editor and look for the first timestamp. In Premier, move the transcript track to that timestamp.

  8. Use the razorblade tool to trim at the beginning and end of the video, if necessary. Delete the tracks before the trim mark and move all of them to the starting position.

  9. Double click the transcription track to open in a new panel. Resize to make it larger. Edit transcript as necessary.

  10. With captions selected, go to "File" -> "Export" -> "Media". The format should be H.264, match the source. In the "Captions" tab: select "Create Sidecar File" and select "SubRip Subtitle Format (.srt). Then click "Export".

  11.  Rename the file to "First-Wednesday-[Month]-[Day]-[Year].mp4"

  12. Upload the video to Warpwire. Once uploaded, add the srt file
