Captions are a nightmare. Can you fix it?
So 1st: captions are not able to be deleted from a Premiere Pro file. If you create a transcript with captions, you can’t delete it, and you’ve ballooned your project file size by hundreds of MBs. You’re screwed. GFY.
2nd: Captions are absolute dog sh8t in their translation from audio to text. I have a studio, windless set up, with lapel microphones on two speakers. Premiere can’t even manage to write the correct word in any of the sentences. I’d argue that there is a 90% error rate in transcription. Every single line is wrong. Garbage. Absolute trash.
3rd: To repair the garbage trash transcription that bloats my software, I have to go into the Text window, tab to enter the script, enter to work the characters, and then tab to exit the script. That immediately forces me out to the timeline again, and to change the next sentence I have to move my mouse and get back into the window. This might be okay if the error rate wasn’t blowing the roof off at every other sentence +90%. Absolute. Garbage. Trash. Software.
I hate this software. I hate paying for this software. I hate the priorities of the development team.
Can Adobe please make this more efficient or manageable? This is embarrassing. Use some of that AI garbage and get this sorted maybe? It’s not like it’s a hugely important part of a creative process or anything.
