Hey everyone. Is any one running into the issue in Text Base Editing, the "speaker" section keeps showing up as unknown. I can't edit the speaker.

"Unknown" means you did not set the option to "identify speakers." If you are using auto-transcription, you must set this in the preferences ahead of time.

 

To edit speakers, if this is a Source Media transcription, you must be in Source Monitor view of the transcript.

 

Open the clip in the Source Monitor, then switch to the Text Panel, Transcript tab.

Hi @Isaiah33211276v5ye,

Sorry about this issue. I have not had time to test this feature yet. @Stan Jones, can you chime in? Maybe @Alexander Riss knows. I hope we can help you.

 

Thanks,

Kevin
