Transcribe my video composition, not source clips

The transcription of the video is a great feature, but most videos are made from numerous source clips. What I want to be able to do is select audio channels in my composition to transcribe, rather than source clips - this gives me a usable transcript for the end video. The composition will change, and the audio should update in real time as I edit. You could even make this an editing method eventually like in some of those other fancy video editors.

@Darke9779,

Upvoted, primarily because more features are needed in multichannel workflows.

 

You can transcribe only the channels you want. See this Feature request. I updated it (twice) as it was implemented.

There are workflow issues as you decide which channels you want, particularly if they are multiple channels in one video/audio file.

 

In that thread, my more detailed post explains some of the issues:

In any of the text-based editing workflows, however the source transcripts are produced, the sequence view of the transcript is the net effect of the edited sequence. But a major challenge is how to deal with multiple audio channels if/when the audio overlaps in the timeline. See "Working with multiple channel transcripts in a sequence, with Channel 1 on Track 1, etc:" in that link.
