You finished production, and now you have a video interview to edit. What is the best way to do that? I don’t know that there is one best way, but I will share my process for interview editing, developed over many years. Transcripts I send out nearly every interview for professional transcription. In addition to typing out everything verbatim, the transcriptionist formats the document to show each new question and adds a timestamp at regular intervals (usually every 60 seconds) to make it easy to find individual soundbites within the long video clip. I upload an audio file of the interview and share it with my transcriptionist, and within a day or two, she sends a Word document back.
