An MP4 transcript should remain tied to the recording.

An uploaded MP4 may contain a presentation, interview, lecture, or screen recording that is difficult to search by playback alone. Transcription turns the audio into material you can scan and reuse.

The timeline matters because a sentence can depend on the slide, example, or response around it. Keeping start times in every segment makes review more deliberate and reduces context loss.
