text editing

@Verneal5E78 Ah, it sounds like maybe the button for "Automatically set In/Out points is disabled". Can you make sure it's on? If it's off then selections in the transcript won't create In/Out points in the sequence and then you can't perform a delete edit.

Quick update. I had recently upgraded to version 25 so I just downgraded back to 24.6 and the text-based editing works again.

Thank you for your reply. I am working in a sequence and my transcript screen shows the option to "build a static transcript" when i hit the ...

My process: I have my sequence open, I go to Transcript and select the track I would like to transcribe and hit Transcribe. I shows all the text and I can click on the text and highlight it in the Transcript field but it does not highlight anything in my sequence and allow me to delete. I used this feature a few months back to remove filler words and it worked great. Now it just takes me to the location of the filler word is in my sequence and I have to slice and delete manually like before.

There are two situations where the Text panel won't let you cut or delete sections of text:

1. If the Text panel is looking at a source clip loaded in the source monitor. You may see a transcript that is attached to the source clip, but you can't edit out sections of that transcript because it is a source clip.
2. The Text panel is looking at a sequence but it was transcribed as a "static transcript". Click the "..." button in the Text panel and if you have the option "Generate text-based editing transcript..." that means the sequence has a static transcription. A static transcription is fixed based on the audio in the sequence at the point of the transcript and doesn't update when you change the edit. If you choose "Generate text-based editing transcript..." then the transcript is no longer "static" and instead is built up by the source clip transcripts. Working in this way (which is the default) will allow you to edit/cut/remove sections of transcripts and have it update in the timeline.
