## Video Description
The creator's description, links, and chapter markers...
## Transcript
The complete caption text...
The YAML frontmatter makes a collection queryable through tools such as Dataview, while the Markdown remains portable to Logseq, other knowledge bases, and plain text workflows.
Most transcript extractors stop at raw caption text. An archival knowledge note also needs the source URL, creator, capture date, actual language, description, chapters, and a predictable filename. YouTube Fetcher keeps that complete record in one local file.
