The assignment

Make one technique understandable without watching the whole workshop.

“She explains why a relaxed wrist matters, then later shows the picking motion from above. Near the end, she gives one short practice instruction.”

You know the story. You do not know the timestamps.

Click “Import

Click Import and choose the workshop recording, or its small Zoom folder when the video and VTT live together.

Bring in the two-hour workshop.

Start with the actual source: one long Zoom recording with talking, demonstrations, questions, and pauses. Keep its VTT beside it when Zoom created one.

Done whenThe workshop card reports useful speech and visual search coverage and the source still plays from its original location.

This walkthrough assumes a Zoom workshop with both conversation and a visible demonstration. Do not add the full archive yet.

Search playbook

Search the two halves separately.

Speech queries describe what is said. Visual queries describe what appears on screen.

Talking

Text · Dialogue
  1. 01
    Words you remember“keep the wrist relaxed”

    Best first check when you know the phrase is present.

  2. 02
    An idea, not exact wordingwhy alternate picking feels uneven

    Lets semantic transcript search find nearby explanations.

  3. 03
    One presenterthe warm-up explanation

    Search the topic, then narrow with a person or video filter.

Demonstration

Text · Visuals · Image
  1. 01
    A visible actionclose-up hands changing chord shape

    Names the subject, action, and framing visible on screen.

  2. 02
    A screen or objectsheet music shared on screen

    Works even when the presenter is not describing the screen aloud.

  3. 03
    A known lookUse a reference still

    Image search can start from a view similar to the one you need.

Useful query rule: name something that can be heard, seen, or filtered. Save “best” for the review decision.

If a search does not work

Most first-test problems can be narrowed to missing analysis, an abstract query, a broad scope, or an unavailable source.
The right phrase returns nothing

Open Search Readiness and confirm the transcript completed. Keep the Zoom VTT with the recording when one exists, then retry with fewer words.

The demo is discussed but not shown

Switch from Dialogue to Visuals and describe the visible action. Speech and visual evidence do not always occur at the same timestamp.

There are too many weak matches

Limit Search to one video, use a concrete noun or action, and add a person or source filter only after the basic query works.

The source will not play or export

Reconnect the original drive or folder and use the source relink workflow before changing paths or reorganizing the archive.

Scale only after proof

One workshop, then a small representative set.

The archive becomes the last step, not the first commitment.
  1. 01
    First proof1 workshop

    Find one explanation and one demonstration. Save both. Build and export a short Sequence.

  2. 02
    Repeatability proof5–10 workshops

    Use normal audio, normal demonstrations, and the storage location you expect to keep using.

  3. 03
    Library rolloutThe wider archive

    Add more only after search quality, processing, source access, and handoff all behave as expected.

Finish the video in your NLE

Open the XML or EDL in your NLE, verify the three ordered ranges, then do titles, sound, color, and the final render there.
