Transcription error - is it possible to regenerate a transcript?
Hi team, Replay transcription appears to have failed on a video we've uploaded - it's missed a chunk (20-30 seconds that I've spotted so far). No reason on our side for the failure that I can think of - indeed, it's the third version of this file that we've uploaded, and previous versions have correctly parsed the section; there's nothing funky it, no backing track or difficult-to-hear audio etc. So, my question is: is it possible to force a regeneration of a transcription? Thanks, -- David
Made any good videos lately? We’d love to see them
We’re looking for a little afternoon viewing material here at the Dropbox Community HQ and we thought who better to ask than our wonderful group of videographers here in the Dropbpx Replay group. If you’ve recently finished a project that you’re particularly proud of, or if you’re not quite finished yet and you’d like ot get some feedback from a group of likeminded individuals, why not share it here and let the rest of a group have a look. If you’re a little unsure about sharing or you need a little inspiration, check out this post from lukeyo sharing the brilliant ad he’d been working on for Mother’s day.Archiving Videos from Replay to DropBox doesn't work
Hopefully this is the right place to post this, assuming Canny is for new ideas. I am struggling to use the Archive to DropBox feature. 1. When I click the '...' on the thumbnail of the video and click 'Archive to DropBox', then select the folder, it just hangs on 'Archiving project files to Dropbox...' 2. Following these instructions: https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/dropbox-replay-archive 5. Click the box that appears in the upper left. 6. Click Archive to Dropbox at the top of your Workspace page. I don't see the Archive to DropBox option as expected. My user has a paid Replay Add-on. I have cleared my cookies and cache. ThanksWhat we learned at IBC:
A few folks from the Dropbox team (myself included, though only briefly) recently attended IBC in Amsterdam. It was truly inspiring to see so many media professionals and experts gathered in one place. Here are a few things we learned during our time there, and I’d love to hear your thoughts—whether you were there or not! What we learned: Our customers are passionate about not wasting time in their workflows. While this may seem obvious, it was great to hear specific use cases, like fully remote teams sharing training footage ASAP to avoid the need for retraining, or completing full feature-length film feedback loops efficiently. Customers don’t always identify with specific tools or features, but with the function they’re trying to achieve. This makes sense—the goal is to have completed, approved, and ready-to-ship work, and we are simply the tool that helps them get there. Avid presented a great discussion on remote workflows and seamless collaboration, highlighting some sensible and interesting points: Initially, teams solved the challenge of global dispersion by duplicating media files, but 15% of daily work was lost to wrong versions, incorrect sequences, etc. Remotely accessing office systems mitigated some of these issues but still had limitations. The hidden costs of remote work became apparent when some editors were on-site and others remote—editors resorted to copying files onto hard drives and couriering them. The time spent managing files increased significantly. “If I work remotely, I can spend up to 20% of my time managing or copying files.” Customers shared challenges, such as reporters sending audio files separately from video, which led to two teams working in real-time but on separate files. Any chance to reduce this confusion and downtime is a huge win. TL;DR: Folks want to shoot at high quality and turn it around fast. Whether it's shooting with a high-resolution digital cinema camera or a mobile phone, everyone wants to get that content quickly to colleagues around the world for review. For feature films, this often means execs want to see daily shots to monitor progress, while in the news industry, it’s about getting clips from the field back to the newsroom as quickly as possible. This is where Dropbox is working hard to streamline content ingestion and make it easier to bring that creative content into the tools you work with. What we launched at IBC: At IBC, we launched our Dropbox Replay integration with ATOMOS to help transfer video and audio materials from on-location productions directly into Dropbox. This helps remote teams share content ready for review or editing, no matter where they are. When it comes to editing, the Dropbox and Replay teams understand the importance of aligning feedback to speed up decision-making and reduce rework. In addition to our work with DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere Pro, we’re excited to announce new integrations with AVID products. Now, users can bring reviewer feedback directly into ProTools and AVID Media Composer, ensuring editors know exactly where changes are needed. Across the show, the themes of speed and AI were front and center. Companies, large and small, showcased how they can deliver content quickly from anywhere while leveraging AI to automatically add metadata, like location or detailed content elements. This additional information can transform raw content into valuable libraries for future use. I’m excited to hear your thoughts! Does this resonate with your experience? Did you learn anything new at conferences this year? Feel free to share in the comments below! 😁Feature announcement: Integration with Pro Tools
Hi Megane here 👋 I do product for Replay! Did you know audio creators can now fast-track their post-production review and approval workflows through the new Replay integration with Pro Tools? Check it out >> http://bit.ly/3xzZiD7 Today, we’re excited to announce our new partnership with Avid Technology, Inc, which helps audio professionals deliver their projects faster in Pro Tools. Now you can connect Replay to your Pro Tools workstation, then import comments into your mixes. This makes it faster to find that precise change that’s needed, and take action.

We are always interested to know where our customers get their information and inspiration - so, are you heading to any conferences this year? Some of the Dropbox team will be heading to IBC in Amsterdam this September, so I’m looking forward to seeing what we learn from that! I used to go to Offset in Dublin, and I could actually track how successful, and honestly, more fun my work was for at least three months afterwards. I fully believe I was just inspired, pumped up and had new ideas for old problems so - help me - where do you get inspiration from?
