Auto Captions / Transcriptions Consistently Out of Sync

The delay is small but very noticeable for editing workflows. Some are in sync but some aren’t.

Especially the end and beginning of a sentence is out of sync, easily noticeable. I’d say even 5-10 frames.

This does NOT appear to be random drift.

The captions are consistently delayed by a small amount (5-15 frames), which suggests a timing/alignment issue in the transcription engine itself rather than timeline sync problems.

Works perfectly on 26.0.2 version.
On 26.2.2 it’s not working properly.

    @Mikael53256,

     

    This is an edited timeline with cuts of some type? Is the transcription(s) of the source clips or a static transcription of the sequence?

     

    When you play the edited timeline and watch the transcript, is it exactly on time? Particularly for the parts that later show captions out of sync?

     

    What OS?
