Question

Is it possible to export transcription as a text file

I've been trying out the new text transcription in the Premiere Beta. 

 

Is there a way to export transcibed text as a text file?

 

So far it works as expected, but I would like to find a way to export the transcrption as a text file - eg so that I can make use of it in writing scripts and so on.

    Yea the export to text works for me in the beta, but not in the normal 2021. It is great, though I also wish it had the speakers listed as well instead of just the text.

      I just now thought of a temporary (but painstaking) workaround for very short pieces only. 

      1) take screenshots (shift + command + 4) of the transcript section by section that has the times and names

      2) paste your screenshots in order into a blank PDF in Acrobat DC

      3) have Acrobat turn your screenshots into editable text 

      4) then edit to taste

       

      Just an idea perhaps, until "the real thing" comes along

        Thanks for sharing, I will have to try this! I would LOVE to have timecode included in the text file. This would make it so much easier to find the clips the client has chosen, based on the text file.

          Not yet, but based upon feedback, we are working on it. We hope to have an option soon.

           

          Thank you.

            Look what showed up in build 27 today. Thank you Dev Team!!

             

             

            The export to text file worked for me, but the Export transcript menu option needs some work. It won't save as a text file or allow me to change the file name or extension when the save as dialog opens up.  I fully understand this is a work in progress.

                Click the provide feedback button inside Premiere and request a feature.  Since there is no easy way to export clean transcribed text as a text file, request it. Let Adobe know you want and need this in your editing workflow.
