Description
Current Behavior
As noted in this comment, video transcripts need to be associated with a block ID, but block IDs for videos are not created until a user hits 'save'.
As a workaround, we currently have text that says "To add transcripts, save and reopen this video"
Desired Behavior
Users should be able to add transcripts to videos at the time of creation.

Research direction
Start by tracing the video creation flow and the code that associates transcripts with a block ID. Confirm how IDs are generated only after saving, then verify that a transcript can be added before the initial save and that the save-and-reopen workaround text is no longer needed.
