As a creator, I know how valuable transcripts and timestamps are. They make videos more searchable, keep viewers engaged, and even boost SEO. But the manual work behind them was draining.

I decided to automate it. Using n8n, Apify, and OpenAI, I built a workflow that:

• Extracts video data from YouTube

• Generates accurate transcripts instantly

• Adds time-stamped chapters automatically

• Saves me 3–4 hours per video

I’d love to know how you handle transcripts for your videos. Do you automate or still do it manually?
