Question

Transcript disappeared after captions made from it

Out of multiple Premiere Pro files, I have opened one file and found this issue:

Premiere states the video is untranscribed, yet it was transcribed as it was captioned (from the transcript), and the captions are still visible in the file.

Is there a way to retrieve the transcript the existing captions were made from?

    @Rubi37131515x0gj,

     

    I had not noticed this before. I am working in PR 24.4.1.

     

    If you are in Timeline/Program Monitor view in the Captions Tab, and you pick "create captions from transcript," it creates a static transcript of the sequence, not a source transcript of the source file.

     

    The captions are created from that static transcript.

     

    So go to Program Monitor Transcript view and you will see your transcript.

     

    I suspect the logic is that, if you had a sequence with many clips, it would have to transcribe all of them to get a source media transcript to use for captions.

     

    Stan
