Many thanks for taking the time to reply Matt. That makes sense, thanks for the explanation. Honestly though, as someone who spends a lot of time in PP but rarely uses it for transcriptions/captioning, I find this side of things incredibly unintuitive. The UI really needs to make it more obvious when it comes to these different sorts of transcripts. "Generate Static Transcript" for example isn't exactly obvious what it's for. I hit a button that said something like "Create Transcript" and then I was expecting to find all the usual split segment etc options there. Might be miles out on this but I'd have thought a decent percentage of PP users were at the more professional end of the spectrum and wouldn't have so much use for text-based editing so I'm not sure why it's the default mode. Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to reply and for helping me out, it's much appreciated.
