Use the link workflow when the video is online and accessible. If you already have the file, upload can be simpler.
This is especially useful for interviews, lectures, tutorials, webinars, and creator videos with dense spoken content.
Pull summaries, research notes, article ideas, or social clips from the editable text instead of replaying the full video.
TXT and DOCX are useful for editing, while SRT and VTT are better when the YouTube transcript also needs to become captions.
