Create Captions from Transcript Broken in 15.4 Build 17

Working again: 15.4 Build 20.

Thanks!

Stan

Note: not fixed in 15.4 Build 18. Edit: and Build 19.

Option 1: Revert to Build 16 or before.

Option 2 Workaround:

Transcribe and DO NOT try to Create Captions. Just click the 3 dots and "Export Transcript...."

Now open the Release version 15.2. Create a new, consistent sequence (frame rate etc; I don't know if it matters or not).  I could not find a way to remove an existing transcription to reuse a sequence. 

On the TRANSCRIPT tab, click the 3 dots and "Import transcript."

Click "Create captions." In the CAPTIONS tab, click the 3 dots and "Export to srt file." Save this.

Return to PR Beta. In the sequence with the problem (or a new one), click on the "Import captions from file."  

All set.

Or yeh, just do the transcription and Caption track creation in 15.2!

Additional info:

Export transcript/reimport to new sequence. Same problem.

Delete both problem sequences.

Create new sequence; import transcript; pick "black track" rather than track from transcript. Ctreates empty caption track ok.

Now create captions from transcript; same problem.

Finally, created new project in Build 17. Import a sequence from build 8 that had a transcription. Deleted Caption Track and tried "Create Captions" from transcript. Did not work.
