Editing video using a corresponding synchronized written transcript by selection from a text viewer

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for editing video using a corresponding written transcript, said instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to:

• display one or more events within an events library of a workspace application;
• receive from a user, via an input device, a selection of a particular event of the one or more events;
• receive from the user, via the input device, input specifying a label within the events library,
• wherein the events library enables the user to create and manage labels usable across the workspace application;
• append the label to an event, a transcript segment, or a video segment that has been selected from the events library by the user;
• retrieve a first video source corresponding to the particular event and a written transcript that is synchronized to said first video source;
• display the written transcript in a first user-accessible text viewer of the workspace application;
• receive from the user, via the input device, a selection of a portion of the written transcript;
• receive from the user, via the input device, a selection of a location within a second user-accessible text viewer of the workspace application;
• copy the selected portion of the written transcript from the first user-accessible text viewer and paste the selected portion to the location within the second user-accessible text viewer;
• allow the user to repeat said copying and pasting process between the first user-accessible text viewer and the second user-accessible text viewer;
• receive from the user commands to rearrange a plurality of portions within the second user-accessible text viewer in any order;
• create an amalgamated video based on the order of the plurality of portions that appear in the second user-accessible text viewer by combining segments of the first video source corresponding to the plurality of pasted portions;
• play the amalgamated video in a user-accessible video viewer of the workspace application;
• allow the user to continue refining the amalgamated video by receiving user commands for further manipulating the plurality of portions in the second user-accessible text viewer;
• and
• globally harmonize changes made by the user within the first-user accessible text viewer, the second user-accessible text viewer, and the user-accessible video viewer across the entire workspace application.

A method for creating and editing video using written transcripts, the method comprising:

• displaying one or more events within an events library of a network-accessible workspace;
• receiving user input indicative of a selection of a particular event of the one or more events;
• receiving user input specifying a label within the events library,
• wherein the events library enables a user to create and manage labels usable across the workspace application;
• appending the label to an event, a transcript segment, or a video segment that has been selected from the events library;
• retrieving a first source video corresponding to the particular event and a first transcript that is synchronized to the first source video;
• displaying at least a portion of the first transcript in a first text viewer of the network-accessible workspace;
• receiving user input indicative of a selection of a portion of the first transcript by the user;
• receiving user input indicative of a selection of a location within a second text viewer of the network-accessible workspace;
• copying the portion of the first transcript from the first text viewer and pasting the portion of the first transcript to the location within the second text viewer;
• enabling the user to repeat said copying and pasting between the first and second text viewers;
• enabling the user to rearrange a plurality of first transcript portions within the second text viewer;
• creating a compiled video using a plurality of first source video portions corresponding to the plurality of first transcript portions,
• wherein the plurality of first source video portions are combined based on an arrangement of the plurality of first transcript portions within the second text viewer;
• presenting the compiled video within a video viewer of the network-accessible workspace;
• enabling the user to modify the compiled video by further manipulating the plurality of first transcript portions within the second text viewer;
• and
• globally harmonizing changes made within the first text viewer, the second text viewer, and the video viewer across the entire network-accessible workspace.
