Improvements to Splitting and Text Import in Transcript and Caption Workflows
1. Line breaks are ignored when importing text files [Issue] When importing a custom script (.txt file), the line breaks in the text data are completely ignored, forcing users to manually split segments all over again. [Request] Please add an option to "Split segments based on text file line breaks" when importing text files.
2. Manual splits in the "Transcript" panel are reset when creating captions [Issue] Even if we manually and cleanly split segments using "Split Segment" in the Transcript panel to match the context of the speech, clicking "Create Captions" completely ignores these manual splits. The software recalculates the splits based solely on maximum character length and duration settings, ruining the adjustments made. [Request] Please add an option in the "Create Captions" preferences to "Preserve current segment splits from the Transcript panel."
3. The behavior of the "Split" function in the Captions panel [Issue] When splitting a caption in the Captions panel or on the timeline, the text is not actually split at the cursor's position. Instead, the entire original text is simply duplicated into both the first and second blocks. This forces the user into an incredibly inefficient process of manually deleting the excess text from both blocks every time they split a clip. [Request] Please change the behavior so that when a caption is split, the text data is actually divided at the specified cursor position, rather than duplicated.
Improving these specifications would dramatically increase the efficiency of captioning workflows and further enhance the usability of Premiere Pro. Thank you very much for considering these updates for future releases.
