# Transcription for Filmmakers

AI transcription built for filmmakers. Upload recordings and get speaker-labeled transcripts, summaries, subtitles, and repurposed content in minutes.

Generate scripts from behind-the-scenes recordings, create subtitle files for post-production, and transcribe client review sessions, all production-ready formats.

Film and video production involves mountains of audio content that goes beyond the final cut, director's notes, review sessions, client feedback calls, behind-the-scenes recordings, and dialogue from daily footage. The post-production workflow also demands precise subtitle creation, which remains one of the most tedious manual tasks in the editing pipeline. Blazescribe streamlines both sides of this equation. On the production side, every recording is transcribed and organized by project, creating a searchable archive of every creative discussion and client interaction. On the post-production side, automatic SRT and VTT subtitle generation eliminates hours of manual timing and typing. Filmmakers and production houses using Blazescribe report cutting their subtitle creation time by 80% while maintaining the accuracy standards required for broadcast and theatrical delivery.

## FAQ

### Can Blazescribe create broadcast-quality subtitles?

Yes. Our SRT and VTT exports include accurate timing, proper line breaks, and character limits per line. Many production houses use Blazescribe-generated subtitles as their starting point, requiring only minor timing adjustments for final delivery.

### How does it handle multiple actors speaking in a scene?

Speaker diarization identifies each voice and labels them separately. For ensemble scenes with overlapping dialogue, we recommend processing individual audio tracks when available for maximum accuracy.

### Can I process an entire feature film?

Yes. We support files up to 1 GB and can process feature-length content. For longer projects, you can upload in segments and organize by reel, act, or scene.

### Does it work with post-production audio formats?

We support WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, FLAC, and all common production audio formats. For video files, MP4, MOV, MXF, and ProRes containers are all supported.

### Can I generate subtitles in multiple languages?

Yes. Transcribe in the original language and generate translated subtitle files in 30+ additional languages. This is particularly useful for film festival submissions and international distribution.
