Question

editing captions is using my typed letters as keyboard command

I will start by saying I love the new transcription feature.  It is the first time I have been excited about a new feature in any adobe product in more than a decade.

 

That said, I am running into issues.  I created a closed caption track, and I need to edit the text (the transcription is far from perfect so I do have a lot of editing, text editing that is, to do)

 

When I double click on text I need to change, it opens it up like I can edit. when I type the letter s, it takes me out of edit mode and moves me to the next caption.  Did nobody need to add the letter s to a caption when this was in beta?  

 

I tried attaching a screencapture but it says I dont have permission to do so, so you'll just have to take my word for it (sigh).

That is very odd. I tis not closed caption: "subtitles" in the new workflow is Open Captions.

 

But that should not effect this behavior.

Working correctly for me. And I can't find a way to get your problem.

 

Are you editing in the Program Monitor or the Text Panel?

 

What kind of Closed caption - 608?

 

Sorry you couldn't attach a screenshot. Were you trying to attach a file? Or using the picture icon in the editing bar (the preference anyway).

I'm in the text panel, here is a screen grab. 

I have a piece of text ready to edit, when I type the letter s, I would expext the blue hilighted text to be replaced by the letter s.  However, when I hit the s, that text remains as is, and item 454 gets selected.
