Question

How can I choose which Audio track to transcribe?

I'm trying to utilise the transcribe feature to identify pauses and mass delete them all to cut down a video efficiently. The video has 2 audio tracks, both with left and right channels. Audio track 1 is just background sound from a game, audio track 2 is my microphone, this is the track I need to transcribe. So my mp4 file has V1, A1 and A2 tracks when I import it.

 

When I transcribe it transcribes the source mp4 file, which means it transcribes the wrong audio. I need to just transcribe audio track 2 so I can then select all Pauses and delete them.

 

I have tried Generating Static Transcript which allows me to select the audio track I want, but this does not work for deleting pauses as the delete button is greyed out after select them all, I believe deleting pauses is only possible for Dynamic transcripts for some reason.

Hi !

You can double click the clip in the timeline in order to open it in the source monitor. You can than choose to retranscribe the source clip (via the "..." menu in the text panel) which also allows you to re-select the channel to use for the transcription.

Best regards,

I don't need to reselect a channel, I need to select the audio track. By
default it transcribes audio track 1, I need it to just transcribe audio
track 2.
