Adding Captions for One Clip Instead of an Entire Sequence

Problem: There is no way to transcribe a specific clip in a sequence, and select one block of transcript to create captions from that specific block of text.

Workflow Streamlining: The CC button creates an entire sequence of captions, ignoring the in/out points set by the user. I have a 10-minute video, I only want captions for a specific 15 second clip as the wind is too disruptive for accurate captions in software. There is no way to isolate that 15 second clip to be transcribed and captioned. I must suffer with transcribing the entire sequence of windy, jarbled audio.

 

Steps:
1. Create in-out points on your timeline.

2. Transcribe the entire sequence because Premiere will ignore your in-out points.

3. Highlight a specific paragraph of transcribed text.

4. Click "closed-captions" for that specific block of transcribed text, while you have your in-out points set.

5. Create captions for the entire sequence because Premiere will ignore your in-out points.

6. ???

7. Pay $35 every month.

I truly believe a more streamlined and selective caption interface for current users would be incredibly helpful.

What version of PR are you running? Are you using the "Create Static transcription" option? That is the one that includes transcribing only the in to out.
