Transcript Tool bug

I generated a transcript for my dialogue. But later on in editing, I had to edit one of the dialogue audio files in Audition to remove and add new lines. Back in Premiere everything updated except for the transcript. It still thinks it is the old dialogue. In the 3 dot menu the "Re-transcribe sequence" option is grayed out. After looking it up apparently I can only click it if I use a static transcript.

 

I've closed and opened the project, cleared media cache, didn't fix anything. For now I'm using the static transcript, but it will be a pain when cutting and moving audio around on the timeline and need to retranscribe everytime.

 

I'm on most current version of Premiere.

You must go back to the source media view of the transcript for the asset you modified. That one will have Reece transcribe available. Or you can write click that one in the project panel. If there are multiple assets affected, you must re-transcribe each of them. You can select multiples and transcribe from the project panel.

if you use the static transcript, you can use the three dots in the sequence view and change that back to a source media transcript.

Ok I found it. When I right clicked the edited audio file in the project window, I saw the option to re-transcribe and it fixed the problem. I wished Premiere just did it automatically. Thanks
