Transcription Process Fails if no Audio on Channel 1
I’m working on a project using the beta build 23.4. The reason I’m working beta is use the text-driven edit function.
I keep getting sn error that audio can’t be muted in order to make a transcript.
After a week of trying to figure why it wasn’t creating source file transcripts (which are needed to do text-driven video editing), I’ve discovered a possible reason:
The sources have 4 tracks of audio.
1 - Nothing
2 - sync (camera mic)
3 - sync (lav)
4 - sync (boom)
I best source is Lav on 3.
I tried soloing track 3 - no dice.
I tried all modify/audio channels on the clip, reducing it to a single source - no dice.
After creating an intermediate file with a single mono audio track, it does work.
So … I suspect that the when the transcript is created, it uses Track 1 of the audio. With 4 (track 1 silent), the process doesn’t seem to see audio.
TEMP SOLUTION:
Using EditReady I was easily able to rewrap the assets and strip the empty channel 1 out. This maintained file time code, name, and metadata. However, it requires a lot of work to redo all the sequence stringouts as the audio channels have changed.
