Correcting a transcript

Hello fellow Prem Pro users,

I'm an occasional editor & so have just started using the transcript/captions feature. I've initiated transcripts for some source clips I've already imported & have then gone through the first clip's transcript & corrected it as needed. I did that by being able to hear the source clip's audio & watching the cursor follow that audio in the transcripted text & then hit the space bar to stop the audio & then double click into the transcript, make the correction, click out of the text-highlighted box & move on through the transcript. So far so good.

After completing corrections for my first clip & doing a couple of other edit things, I've come back into the 'captions & graphics' workspace to work my way through checking the transcript of next source clip & for some unknown reason, I can no longer use the space bar to stop the audio as I watch the cursor move through the source clip's transcript. This means I need to hit the tab for the source clip's file name in the source monitor (which then shows the source clip) to then be able to hit my space bar & stop the clip running & then click on the text tab to return to the script. This is a much more clumsy way to make corrections.

 

What am I not doing right this time around??!

Many thanks for any helpful insights.

    Hi Paul, thanks for your suggestions & pardon the delayed reply. I think the disconnect was occuring after I right-clicked on the clip in Project folder > modify > audio channels & turned off tracks 3&4 which were clouding the radio mic audio. I had to close the project & open it again & then I had the connection back between the audio running & the transcript again.

    Here are a few things to check:

    1. What workspace are you using?
    2. Are you using Premiere's default keyboard shortcuts?
    3. At the bottom of the Transcript tab, have you unticked Follow active monitor?

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
