I have two sequences that both have audio tracks in from some interviews. When I go to transcribe for text editing, it say there was no dialogue found.

Correct answer Stan Jones

Orf,

The "dialogue not found" in the latest release version (23.4.0) and Beta (23.6.0 Build 18 - you're in the Beta forum) is generally due to mismatch between source media vs sequence transcription and audio track settings - source transcription will only look at audio track 1.

If you want to look at this further, screenshots would help.

This solution might not work for you, and it might also sound a bit ridiculous. This error shows up to me when I open the project file double-clicking on it on the finder (I have a Mac M1). But if I open the project file from the project files list that appears when you open Premiere, this error doens't happen. I know this is an old post, but it might help someone.

@nachitocapo2012,

Interesting. This was a workaround for some users who had performance problems with text/captions. And isn't it an odd one!

Ok, I found out what the problem is. Again it's a an unnessary hassle that Adobe created in one of the recent upgrades. You need to click on "..." top right of hte text pannel and then chose static transcript. When the original release of transcribe was released other languages were easily accessable, but in their genius to make things as difficult as possible they hid that function too. It can be accessed by selecting the blue drop down arrow after selecting static transcript.

Same problem. After last update. Still full of bugs. This is insane. Adobe needs to start firing people.

I found a workaround for clips that have many dead audio channels within the file and seems to throw this error on the transcription. in the window>text captions tab, click transcribe and creat captions and that will bring up a separate window that seems to force the transcripion of the entire mix. There's a dropdown for the audio channels.

michael,

Thanks; I had not noticed this before. As discussed, the error comes from trying to run a source media transcription on a file with no audio on audio track 1.

And if you just want captions (and not to use source media transcription for editing or other purposes), select the sequence, then the Text Panel -> Transcript tab, and the 3 dots menu has "Create static transcription." This creates a transcript of the sequence, and you can then create captions from that.

What you discovered is that if you have the clip in a sequence, and there is no source nor sequence transcript, you can use that Create Captions button to create both a sequence transcription and captions in one command. And a sequence transcription allows specifying audio track options.

If you want to use the sequence transcript for editing, you can nest that sequence as described in this link:

Just had the same issue with the latest Premiere update.

I was using a subsequence for sync/color, then cutting that sequence into video sized chunks on a separate timeline.

I managed to fix the issue by rendering and replacing the audio on the final timeline (select audio > right click > render and replace)

Seems like this is part of a larger issue with Premiere where the audio waveform disappears when editing a subsequence on your timeline, which rendering and replacing audio fixes as well.

Not sure if this applies to your specific case but might be helpful to others troubleshooting the "No Dialogue Found" error for transcribing.

Why is Adobe putting out such a buggy update? I am working professionally and I am not able to transcribe ANYTHING.

Adobe is really pushing hard to force me out of Adobe CC towards DaVinci for video editing 😕😕

@defaultv501vnu4l39r,

The new Text-based editing functions are working correctly for me - in both the latest Beta and the Release 23.4.0. There is a bit of a learning curve. And you can just use the old method.

You are in the Beta forum, which is fine. What version of PR are you using? We can help you get sorted.

I was having an issue with it saying no dialogue found on some interview footage with 4 total audio tracks but only 2 tracks (tracks 3 and 4) with any actual data in them. I exported those two audio tracks on their own and re-imported, and Premiere was able to make the transcript from that audio file.

Same author here - interestingly, I can transcribe for captioning, and when I click around at the words, it takes me to that work in the sequence. BUT when I cut, the text disappears and it says No Dialogue Found again...

What Audio are you selecting, Dialogue or Mix?

I have not checked this for a while. A screenshot might help.

I was trying to get the transcript based off of the Audio 1 track - so mix I suppose? I didn't take a screenshot unfortunately.

I found a workaround - downloading the previous version of the beta, 23.1.0 build 75, where I previously had no issues. Back to normal!
