Question

How do I get separate transcriptions for each speaker when they are on two separate audio tracks.

I have Premiere Pro video with two speakers and each speaker is on a separate audio track. What is the best way to get each audio track transcribed separately?

 

I tried asking Adobe's AI chat system and it is absolutely useless.

@bobw111,

 

Are these in their own separate files? If a single file, right-click the file in Project Panel and pick "Transcribe." Pick Re-transcribe if you already transcribed it. Do you see a "Channel Selection" option? Do you see the channels you expect?

 

If any of this does not appear as you expect, post back.

 

If they are in one file, you can have only one transcript at a time. So I use Clip -> Audio Options -> Breakout to Mono. That does not create files on disk, but they will keep their transcription. Note that, if you already transcribed the original clip, each such breakout will start with that transcription. Just pick re-transcribe.

It is an OBS recorded MP4 video file with two separate audio tracks (A1 and A2 in Premiere).  Each audio track has left and right channels.  I found the setting in premiere to separate individual speakers transcription text, but it is in the "auto transcribe" section and I don't want a transcription on every video I import.  I'll do a bit more testing with it later today.  Maybe I'll just have to turn on auto transcribe for this video, then shut it off again.  One other irritating thing I found is there doesn't seem to be a way to delete a transcription and create a new one without clearing cache.  If you delete the clip from the time line and then re-import it PrPro automatically grabs the old transcription.  I thought I found the way to turn that off, but it seems to only apply if that video is brought into a totally different project.  I'll post the results of my testing.
