The auto transcribe feature is cutting off the beginning and ends of sentences

Have Premiere transcribe a clip and then make cuts manually. If the cut is close to a word at the end or beginning of a clip then sometimes it will remove that word from the transcription even though I can still hear the full word clearly.

This has only been a problem recently and the transcriptions were nearly perfect before the past few updates.

If this sensitivity is intentional then it should be fixed because it’s important in short form content to leave very little dead space between sentences/clips

    @Blackleaf124,

     

    What version are you in? How are you cutting manually? Using the automatic in/out in the transcript tab?

     

    I tested on a single clip in PR 25.6.4, 26.0.2, and Beta 26.3.0.58. I used the automatic in/out to lift (not extract) so it left the first word or the clip and then the last word. All versions produced identical results.

     

    The continuing issue for me is that such cuts can have sound clipped, and there is no control over whether to add space. You can adjust the cut the add back a bit of the audio, without affecting the transcript.

     

    @mattchristensen1,

     

    The lift/extract buttons and shortcuts are not working in the Transcript tab in the Beta build 58. I’m off to pickleball and little time later to file a bug report!

    Thanks for the reply. I uploaded a video to show an example.
    I’m on version 26.2 and I cut after the transcript was generated by using the ripple cut tool on the timeline. I didn’t cut anything directly from the transcript.

    @Blackleaf124 Would you be able to share a link here (or in a private message to me) where I could get one of your clips that’s showing this issue so we can investigate?
