Why Bulk Export Matters
Manual Export is Painfully Slow. Most transcript tools force you to export one video at a time. For a 100 video playlist, that means:
Opening 100 tabs
Pasting 100 URLs
Clicking “export“ 100 times
Downloading 100 files
Organizing 100 files manually
Total time: 5-10 hours
Bulk Export is Automatic. With ClipTranscribr, the same 100-video playlist takes:
Paste 1 URL
Click “export“
Wait 2-3 minutes
Download 1 ZIP file with all 100 transcripts organized
Total time: 3 minutesYou save 5-10 hours per project.

How Bulk Export Works
Exporting YouTube videos in bulk is simple and takes just 4 easy steps. No technical knowledge required.
Paste a Playlist or Channel URL
Copy the URL of any public YouTube playlist or channel. ClipTranscribr automatically detects how many videos it contains. Example URLs:
Playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=Ng...&list=PL...
Channel: youtube.com/c/ChannelName OR youtube.com/@username
Choose Your Format
Select SRT, VTT, or CSV. For CSV, enable or disable timestamps based on your needs.
Wait for Processing
ClipTranscribr extracts transcripts from every video in the playlist or channel. You'll see a progress indicator. Processing times:
50-video playlist: ~1.5 minutes
100-video playlist: ~2.5 minutes
300-video playlist: ~3.5 minutes
Download Your Files
Once processing completes, download a single ZIP file if SRT or VTT was chosen, or a CSV file if CSV format was selected.
Bulk Export vs Manual Export: Time Savings
| Videos | Manual Time (Est.) | Bulk Export Time | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 videos | 30 minutes | 30 seconds | 29.5 minutes |
| 50 videos | 2.5 hours | 1.5 minutes | ~2.5 hours |
| 100 videos | 7-10 hours | 2.5 minutes | ~7-10 hours |
| 300 videos | 15 hours | 4 minutes | ~15 hours |
Bottom line: Bulk export can save 10-15 hours per project depending on scale.
Bulk Export Formats: What You Can Extract
