How to transcribe sequence, not source files?

Question

Hi!All of a sudden, when I go to transcribe my sequence, the only option is to transcribe the entire source clip. I'm just taking snippets of interviews and adding captions for social media. These can be hour long interviews, and I'm just trying to get the 1-2 minutes I've outlined in my sequence. Anyone have any ideas here?

Jillian,

You're in the Beta forum, which has had the Text-based editing process for a while. It just hit the release version with 23.4.0.

To use your old method, ignore all the source media transcription invitations, select your sequence in the timeline, go to the Text Panel -> Transcript Tab. Click the 3 dots and pick Static Transcript.

If that doesn't work; ask further.

Here are the FAQs for the new process:

And, when you have time to explore, you may find that the new process will be very nice!

Add me as a +1 for dissatisfied users of this feature. What used to take less than a minute to auto-transcribe a 5 minute sequence now takes over twenty minutes - and that's not including all the time burned by the learning curve (especially the trap of transcoding all source material instead of just the sound-bites on the timeline).

Honestly, I could just about make captions faster manually. Please Adobe, just go back to how it was before.
