P: Transcript Panel Does Not Update After Timeline Edits.

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)

@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?)

 

Stan

Premiere Pro Version 25.4.1 (Build 3) Transcript that is generated as media is imported is losing sync as I edit. I have to restart Premiere to get sync back.

@rachelcenter @carley_9607,

 

Essential information for troubleshooting transcription issues:

 

Have you generated source media transcriptions of each clip or do you have a static transcription of your sequence?

 

And either way, what "view" are you in when you experience the problem? Source media view of a source media transcription, Program Monitor view of the source media transcriptions of the clips in your sequence, or Program Monitor view of a static, sequence transcription.

 

I still can't tell from the information posted.

 

Stan

  • issue: see original paragraph at the top of this page
  • steps to reproduce: transcribe your timeline. cut a section out of the timeline, close the hole, then consult the transcript to see that it doesnt match what the timeline is saying any more.
  • expected result: for the transcripts to match the timeline
  • actual result: whatever is being said on the timeline at a given moment doesnt match the transcript. the transcript isnt following/keeping up with the timeline. 
  • screen recording: I cannot publicly post this footage from my clients from an unrelease project. I would only be able to privately send it to adobe employees. which i might do in a private message after i write up this report
  • Premiere version 25.4.1 (Build 3)
  • operating system mac os sequoia 15.6.1
  • comparative - yes it has affected all of my recent projects.

Two customer support sessions and the only solution was to downgrade premiere to version 25.3. In the process they demolished all my presets and deleted my plugins which I can not figure out how to reinstall. Save yourself!

Just FYI, I've tried the follow activity monitor check box and it makes no difference. Screensharing with support now. Will relay any fix info if they have a solution.

Hi @rachelcenter - Is it a long transcript?  In the three dot menu of the Text panel do you have auto scrolling checked?  We may have to see a screen recording of the issue you are experiencing.

i found it at the bottom of the text window. and it looks like a checkmark is already enabled for follow active monitor. "Do you have the source transcript or the timeline transcript loaded?" im understanding the question. i wont have time to file a bug report until tonight.
