Converting and Importing Zoom .vtt Transcripts to Premiere Pro 26

Hello Adobe Community, I am looking for assistance with successfully converting and importing a .vtt transcript from Zoom’s website, recorded from a conference call along with video and audio files from the call. The call covers training topics covered by a department of my employer and I edit them for, for lack of a better word, conciseness, for people that weren’t able to participate in the call, then the edited video used to create a Storylines-based module. Currently, I will transcribe the source video in premier pro, then I will make edits to the conference call’s video by removing filler words, long silences, repeated words, and conference call housekeeping mostly from the transcript.

I have tried converting the .vtt file to JSON, but it doesn’t seem to work. I want use Zoom’s version of the transcript because it includes speaker names and is bit more accurate than Premier Pro’s own transcription for transcribing words, less common names and acronyms. I don’t want to use .srt because I won’t generate subtitles until the transcript is complete. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention.

    That’s odd.  I wonder how it got removed.
