A viewer can learn several aspects about a subject from a video that they might not glean from reading an interview transcript, including:

1. **How the subject feels about the topic**: Videos capture non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language, which can provide insights into the subject's emotions and attitudes towards the topic being discussed.

2. **What the subject looks like**: Videos present the visual aspect of the subject, allowing viewers to see their appearance, demeanor, and presence, which can convey additional layers of meaning or context.

3. **The words the subject uses to discuss the topic**: While transcripts do contain the words spoken, a video can show the emphasis and inflection the subject uses, which can change the interpretation of their statements.

While the depth of knowledge the subject has might still be inferred from both formats, the visual and auditory elements of a video enhance the viewer's understanding of the subject's feelings, character, and engagement, which may not be fully represented in a transcript.
