Transcript Panel recent change to MERGE WITH corrected transcript (txt) causing errors.

Recently you instituted a change to MERGE with a corrected transcript file instead of REPLACE with the corrected transcript file. I'm not so sure this was a good idea. 

It appears to me that the merging is causing errors.

I have a very accurate transcription file that I'm attempting to use to replace premier zone transcription. (I previously posted there about transcription and the process I must use to get accurate results.) I think something was broken in the recent update.

I'm about halfway through caption and correction of transcript in an hours worth of program and find myself making far more corrections usual. It’s much more typical of when I was using Premiere alone to do transcription.

  • There are extra/repetitive caption cells.
  • There is a cell/entire sentence in timeline that NEVER APPEARED itranscription/actual audio. [I'm not going to quote, "To prevent, "we should always provide the general advice "on a level of the general population."]
  • Far more than usual, caption cells are misplaced
  •  A number are truncated

In addition, a related request, can we please import a corrected transcription file without first converting to static transcript. The system gets very confused about cursor position in the transcription window. This makes it difficult to locate and correct any wrong text there.

Thanks.

    Hi @Bruce306x0 

    Welcome back, and thanks for reaching out. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue. Please see, How do I write a bug report?

     

    I am also wondering if you’re willing to share a clip and transcript that I could do some testing on my end. Let me know if you’re able to do that. 

     

    It’s also possible the formatting is off on the scripts you’re bringing in from the outside source, which would explain why it’s cutting off lines but it’s hard for me to tell without looking at it. I’ve experienced that before in other programs, having to change the .txt file from Western Unicode to something else, but I would need to test it. 

     

    Hoping to help,

    Amy Stuvland
