Start from a public playlist link
Paste a supported public collection or playlist link to pull in available videos without building the batch by hand. The collection must be public and readable at the time you import it.
Collection import
Playlist transcript import for public collections
Import a public playlist or collection and turn available videos into a managed transcript batch. Review each item, edit transcript text before publishing, and handle failures one video at a time.
Start with one video, a list of up to 50 links, a public playlist, or a file from your device.

If you need a playlist transcript from a public video collection, you can submit the collection link and import available videos into one batch. Each video is processed as its own item, so you can review results, edit transcript text, and export only what you need.
Why use collection import
This workflow helps when you need transcript work across multiple related videos instead of one link at a time.
Keep results organized by video
Every imported video keeps its own transcript result and failure state. That makes it simpler to review what finished, what needs attention, and what should be retried or skipped.
Switch to individual links when needed
Some collections cannot be read because they are private, removed, region-blocked, or otherwise unavailable. If that happens, you can paste individual public video links instead and continue the batch.
How playlist transcription import works
The collection import flow is built for batch setup and review.
- 1
Paste the public collection link
Submit a supported public playlist or collection link to begin import. The system reads the collection and brings in up to eight items in the initial collection workflow.
- 2
Review imported videos in the batch
Check which videos were added and see each item as its own transcript job. If one source fails, the rest of the batch can still be reviewed on their own status.
- 3
Edit and export finished transcripts
Open completed items to review transcript text with timestamps before publishing or sharing. Export finished work in formats such as TXT, SRT, VTT, CSV, JSON, or DOCX-ready text.
What to know before you import
A few page-specific details can help you avoid common collection issues.
- Initial import covers up to eight items
- When you submit a collection, the first import workflow brings in up to eight videos from that source. This is useful for checking the collection, reviewing item quality, and deciding what to process next.
- Public access is required
- A YouTube playlist transcript or other collection import works only when the source is public and readable. Private, login-gated, removed, or region-blocked items may not import successfully.
- Transcript work continues after import
- Once videos are in the batch, each completed transcript can be reviewed and edited before publishing. You can also use transcript-based actions like summaries, captions, rewrites, SEO briefs, and content analysis where helpful.
Limits and fallback options
Collection import is useful, but it depends on the source being available and readable.
- Only supported public collections and playlists can be imported.
- The initial collection workflow imports up to eight items from the submitted collection.
- If a collection cannot be read, paste individual public video links to build the batch manually.
FAQ
Playlist transcript import FAQ
Can I create a transcript from a YouTube playlist link?
Yes, if the playlist is public and readable, you can submit the collection link and import available videos into a batch. Each video is then handled as its own transcript item.
What happens if one video in the collection fails?
A failed item keeps its own failure state and does not replace the results of other imported videos. You can review completed items separately and decide whether to retry or skip the failed source.
Can this read private or login-only playlists?
No, the source collection must be public and readable. Private, login-gated, removed, or region-blocked videos may fail and may need to be replaced with public links.
Can I edit the transcript before I export it?
Yes, completed transcripts can be reviewed with timestamps before you export or publish them. That gives you a chance to check wording, fix issues, and choose the format you need.
