Combine text in live transcript and better export control

So that might work if you were doing this in a new project?

But try this method for your already edited transcriptions:

Copy the project file in case this is big mess.

With your source transcriptions edited, and cut up in the sequence, in sequence view, export transcript to .txt. We don't need them merged or anything. But this export should have the times and text edits correct, right?

Now create a static transcript of that sequence.

Transcript tab -> Import -> Import corrected transcript and pick the edited (source) transcript you exported.

In my test, it worked fine, and included my edits.

The only way to create a static transcript is to re-transcribe it. I don't want to lose all the sentence and spelling corrections I made. That doesn't seem like the way to do what I want.

I will try this and let you know.

Yes, back to the beginning of this feature request: I like the option and upvoted. And I did not understand part of your workflow and made a mess of the workaround.

I would try this. Once you are done with your edits, create a Static Transcription of your sequence. You CAN merge transcript segments of a static transcript. But you must manually select each speaker group as you go. Export that as .txt or .csv.

I showed you what Premiere Pro exports from the edit script. The millions of edits I made to the audio are reflected in the script. Even if combined in the source as speaker turns, the exports still reflect the millions of edits I made for the audio. This is not good, and it needs to be recombined without timecode in a CSV and sent to a Word doc for natural reading. If Premiere would just automatically do that in a text file, my life would be much less stressful.

Sorry. I'm not suggesting abandoning anything. I'm just trying to understand your workflow and whether we can find a way to get a more readable transcript exported.

The example I showed is for an audio product. Adobe has not released transcription for Audition. This is real life, and this is happening. This is for a regular transcript. It doesn't make sense that you can't believe me that these small edits are being done for audio. I haven't found any offline product that can edit audio transcripts like Premiere Pro.

Now you are suggesting losing the live edit of the transcript  and he audio and just forgetting about using Adobe for live editing. Basically I should forgo any sort of impovement from Adobe for this purpose making my workflow twice as slow.

@Blue-Marble,

This is what I now suspect, and I do not see a good solution.

You can only merge in the source view. And that merged transcript is what you have when you switch to Sequence/timeline/Program Monitor view. BUT if you have edited the clip it breaks that merged transcript into new segments based on the edit. And the segment sizes you show, for example in your post with the "First little bit:," a regular transcript would never have segments this small for one speaker. Is that making any sense?

IF that is the issue, I would try this. BEFORE editing the sequence, in Source view, merge the whole transcript into one segment. (Select all of it and hit Merge.) Edit anything that involves removing large sections, but do not remove pauses or filler words etc. Export the sequence transcript. Now do small edits (remove pauses, filler words etc), and edit the exported transcript as needed.

I haven't referred to Captions, no.

Before exporting, I see the text separated from the timeline edit.

@Blue-Marble,

Thanks for responding.

That is odd. To clarify, you are working with and exporting a Transcript, not Captions correct? Before exporting, are you seeing the text merged/combined?
