Transcription
- Use
browse_assets to identify the video/audio asset and its transcription state.
- For newly imported local media, complete the
asset-import workflow first.
- Check
track_progress with target transcription. It returns current status; follow the returned check-back guidance and do not busy-loop.
- Use
find_transcript for timestamped text lookup.
- Use the current caption tools to enable, inspect, translate, or style captions only after transcription is ready.
Do not call a transcription stuck from one pending status. Treat an explicit failed terminal state immediately; otherwise allow at least max(5 minutes, min(60 minutes, 2 x asset duration)), or at least 10 minutes across multiple checks when duration is unknown.
no_audio / no-speech is a successful terminal analysis result: the media is usable, but there is no transcript to read or caption. Do not report it as a transcription failure or retry it unless the user says the media contains speech that should have been detected.
When a run is genuinely failed or stuck, call manage_transcript with action:"retry_transcription" and the asset id, then check transcription progress again. Repair source words with the transcript-fix action instead of rewriting visible captions when the source transcript itself is wrong.
For semantic speech edits, load talking-head-guide and use the Script workflow. Use mechanical cleanup only for fixed fillers and pauses; do not replace transcript-aware editing with destructive physical timeline cuts.
