Video Transcriber

One job, one skill. Hand it a video — by URL or by file — get the transcript back. That's it.

This skill exists because Peter, Ellie, John, and Adrian shouldn't have to remember which Python script lives where or which Apify actor handles which platform. They drop in a URL or a file, and the right thing happens automatically.

Who uses this and how

Peter and Ellie (video editors): use this to pull transcripts of:

• Competitor videos they're studying for shot ideas
• Reference videos Graeham sends them as "make ours like this"
• Long-form interviews where they need to find specific quotes for cuts
• Client testimonial videos that need to be transcribed for captions
• Local screen recordings or Zoom exports sitting in Downloads

John (Blog Track): use this to:

• Convert Graeham's recorded YouTube videos into blog-post source material
• Pull transcripts of industry videos and webinars for cite-ready statistics
