Question

working with captions offline

 

Hi,

I'm working on an edit that contains several transcribed/translated interviews with generated captions. I'm finding it labourious to move my clips around the timeline with their connected captions, I'm currently lasooing them. What is the best workflow to deal with a WIP edit where you want to preserve the captions with your video/audio.

Thanks

Are you using Premeire Pro 24.x or 25.x?  If so, it might be easier to edit without that captions and then generate Captions once you've locked picture (that is, you are no longer going to make changes to the edit).

However, the Caption Clip Boundaries in the Captions Track behave like Video Clip Boundaries and Audio Clip Boundaries.  As such, we can shuffle, slip, slide, cut, copy, paste, paste insert, extend, use Q or W, lift and extract all three together as needed.  It's a some extra clicks, though, as a corresponding Caption isn't linked.

Yes that workflow makes sense, however when you are unaware of the dialogue and you want to move clips around before you've locked it doesn't really solve my issue. I'm working in 25, thanks

Try targeting all the Tracks at the left and then using In Mark and Out Mark or Mark Clip to cut and paste or cut and paste insert. Make sure no Boundaries are selected so the the cut action takes whatever is between the In to Out.
