whenever i transcribe my timeline and then cut something out of my timeline, the transcription doesnt follow. I look at it and its all off.  like when i hit play on the timeline, the transcription is showing something totally different then what I'm hearing on the timeline. I swear the transcription used to travel with you when you cut stuff out. Premiere version 25.4.1 (Build 3)

i have beta but it keeps crashing everytime i try to open it, because I have trapcode installed. (but it doesnt crash normal premiere).  I told adobe this and they said its a maxon problem. for now im gonna do that work around where you close and come back in. i really appreciate your time and diligence on this one. thank you

@rachelcenter,

 

I ran a bunch of tests trying to find some way to trigger this bug using separate audio files etc, and could not.

 

The easiest workaround I see is to close and reopen the project.

 

You could try installing the Beta to see if it fixes the issue. But a) I don't recommend the Beta for regular production projects and b) it would take a lot of work for you to determine whether your project works any differently. I think I would just wait for PR 25.6 and hope that you do not have an entirely separate issue. The symptoms are so identical I think they are related. This means the fix is likely to fix your issue too. Only time will tell.

 

Let us know if the close/reopen project workaround works for you.

 

Stan

@jamieclarke,

 

There's a perverse joy in replicating a 100% bug! 

 

PR 25.5.0 Win 11. Create sequence. Duplicate sequence. Cut section from middle. Play. Transcript has not updated and is not in sync.

Beta 25.6.0.74. Works correctly. Also confirmed the problem was not present in PR 24.6.5. Don't know when it started.

 

@rachelcenter,

 

The transcript is carried by the audio that has been transcribed. It may be possible to trigger this bug if certain files or nested files are used. I'll try testing that.

@rachelcenter,

 

I have not tested this yet. Duplicated sequences may be only one source of related issues.

This issue has been fixed in Premiere Pro beta version 25.6.0 build 74 and later. The fix will be included in the next stable release, 25.6

Hi @rachelcenter - This issue appears to occur when duplicating a sequence. I’ll get a bug filed and will keep you updated on the status. Thank you, @Stan Jones , for the lead in reproducing this problem.

I've just started leveraging the Transcript for editing, in the "Text based editing" workspace. While I'm not making the cuts in the transcript, I'm using it to jump to particular points in the clips in order to quickly cut sections. Is it incorrect to assume as portions of those clips are cut from the timeline that the text in the transcript panel would be removed? It becomes unusable pretty quickly after you make a couple of cuts in the sequence, none of the dialog is in sync. 

 

Currently using Premiere v 25.5 on M3 Ultra Mac Studio.

 

Thanks - Stephen

For what it's worth I figured out the issue. I was duplicating the first few sequences and dumping the current clips and adding in new clips. For whatever reason this tripped up the transcription and so the transcript for the sequence with the new clips was not the same. I assumed that the transcription followed the clips around, but that doesn't appear to be the case. 

Solve was to just create a new sequence - even though it required doing some extra setup, and add the new clips to the timeline.

@Stephen Barrante,

 

> For whatever reason this tripped up the transcription 

Thanks for reporting your fix/workaround. This is reminding me of a problem I saw at some point. There are users reporting your symptom (source media transcripts get out of sync with sequence). None have reported duplicated sequences so far, but that would be easy to overlook. In any event, I'll add this to my testing!

 

@jamieclarke FYI.

@rachelcenter,

 

Sorry for getting your version of Sequoia wrong!

 

By overlapping, I include something like the 2 wav files from your screenshot. So they are not transcriptions? Are both speakers on one channel? (Which track in your screen recording?)
