Innovative Feature Suggestion: AI-Powered Transcript Editing and Scene Auto-Cutting in Premiere ProOpen for Voting

Innovative Feature Suggestion: AI-Powered Transcript Editing and Scene Auto-Cutting in Premiere Pro I’d like to propose a highly innovative and practical feature that would greatly enhance workflow efficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro—especially for editors working with interviews, documentaries, podcasts, and other dialogue-heavy content. Feature Overview:Introduce the ability to paste a time-coded, edited transcript (such as one prepared from a transcription service or AI tool) directly into Adobe Premiere after a video has already been imported, and have Premiere automatically cut scenes based on the transcript. This feature would allow users to edit by text and have those edits instantly reflected on the video timeline. Core Functions: Auto-Cut by Transcript:Once the edited transcript (including timestamps) is pasted into Premiere, AI could intelligently compare it against the original video’s transcription and auto-cut or trim clips according to what remains in the edited transcript.Reverse Integration:Inversely, users could be provided with a transcript editor built directly into Premiere Pro, where they can make edits to the transcript inside the application. Any sections of dialogue removed from the transcript would automatically remove the corresponding video and audio segments from the timeline.Filler Word Cleanup (e.g., “You know”, “Um”, etc.):AI could also offer an intelligent cleanup tool to detect and optionally remove overused filler words or phrases—either automatically or via batch-selection—based on user preferences. This would save editors hours of manually scrubbing timelines to polish unscripted dialogue. Benefits: Significantly reduces time spent on manual timeline trimming.Empowers editors to work in a more intuitive, text-based environment.Enhances accessibility and efficiency, especially for creators with large volumes of dialogue-based footage.Makes Premiere Pro more competitive with AI-based editing platforms that are beginning to incorporate these capabilities. Why This is Needed:Currently, transcript-based editing exists in a limited form (e.g., using Adobe’s Speech to Text and Text-Based Editing), but there is no straightforward way to import an external edited transcript and have Premiere conform the sequence to it, or to automatically clean filler words in a smart way. Integrating this AI-powered, bi-directional workflow would streamline the editing process dramatically.

Captions/Transcription Errors.Open for Voting

In typical week I deal with five to 10 (finished) hours' worth of programming by scientific and medical professionals. It is filled with strange words and acronyms. When I provide captions and transcripts, the MUST be accurate! I consistently find myself always making certain corrections. Below are observations/suggestions for refinement to Premiere that could save me many hours each week. First, internal transcription is awful. Considering licensing “Whisper 2” AI transcription module. (As I use it through a Mac app called Jojo, its FREE.) As is, EVERY video I do gets run through it for FAR more accurate transcriptions than Premiere provides. In a one-hour program Premiere can give literally hundreds of errors, compared to one ot two using Whisper. Then after I get a good transcription, Premiere mangles it while creating captions. Here are things I’ve frequently seen [NOTE "/" indicates a lne or bubble break]: Tiny “bubbles…” (caption cels?)  I get a lot of 1- 2- and 3-word "bubbles" (caption cells?) from Premiere. Nearly all have to be changed.There are frequently bad breaks… between bubbles or across lines inside a bubble. Group concepts and the word that specifies/modifies it. There should be no break between adverb and its verb; pronoun and its noun, etc.Bad examples:Red/car, After/Effects, health/care, congressional/hearing, etc. Here are a few common to my work:As generatedAs repairedThe Abbott / Nutrition HealthInstitute presents the Global Malnutrition Composite [TITLE IS BROKEN INTO PARTS, EVEN THOUGH ITS CLEAR FROM SPEAKER EMPHASIS THESE BELONG TOGETHER]The Abbott Nutrition Health Institute presentsScore 2024 and its Use in Clinical Practicethe Global Malnutrition Composite Score 2024 Update and its Use in Clinical Practice [SET TITLE APART FROM SPONSOR, GROUP TITLE AND SUBTITLE]  As Dr. / Chavez said, …As. Dr. Chavez said, … A period followed by space in transcript forces a WRONG break in caption bubbles:Ms./ColtmanDr./WilliamsThese always need to be fixed to be:/Ms. Coltman/Dr. Williams Connected phrases should be grouped together, both across 2 bubbles and as two lines in single bubble:NOT Catch /up growth BUT Catch-up growthNOT E. /Coli bacteria BUT /E. Coli bacteriaNOT Dr. /Smith BUT /Dr SmithNOT 20/years BUT /20 yearsNOT Global/Malnutrition Composite Score, BUT /Global Malnutrition Composite ScoreNOT relative/to BUT relative to/NOT Joint/Commission standard BUT /Joint Commission standardNOT …intra-/and extracellular water BUT  …/intra- and extracellular water An auto-generated double dash (usually for a self-correction) forces:an incorrect line break in transcriptAND an odd characterAND break in captions: Looks like this:"He's having-[BREAK] - like he's spitting up frequently These always need to be fixed in both caption and transcript to look like this:He's having-- like, he's spitting up frequently And while I'm here, why can I not make the Premiere default caption style someting better?!  For readability, I ALWAYS have to change to San Serif [Arial], on 90% gray background with 20 x 20 expanded edges and no shadow. There doesn't seem to be a way to make this a style that saves for all projects.  Thanks for wading thru this list. I hope some fixes/improvements can be adopted.
