Speech to Text feature is working, transcribing properly, but when I click "create captions" it doesn't do anything after loading.

Same here.

Win 10

Gforce 1080Ti with driver up to date.

New project only to test the feature.

The transcription of an .mp4 with voice over works well but no creation of the subtitle captions.

I choose create subtitle with no style and nothing happen.

I can create a caption track "manually"

Hello everyone,

 

I also have problems using the feature. First time round, it worked wonderfully: I loaded an mp4 into a sequence and created a transcript of the part of my sequence marked with 'In/Out' (this was highly accurate despite bad sound quality, very impressive!). I was able to export the transcripted text and, best of all, Premiere created the caption track automatically, with timing set and all. Wow 🙂

 

However, since then, it doesn't work like that anymore: I can create transcriptions, but these only stay in the 'Transcript' subpanel of the 'Text' panel, and aren't automatically transferred to the 'Captions' subpanel. I can copy manually from the transcript, but only after manually adding a caption track and manually adding/copying caption text blocks.

 

I've tried reinstalling the beta version of Premiere, saving and re-opening files, and also creating a blank new project in the beta version and reimporting footage, but I can't get the workflow back which I had first time round. Last time, I tried 'Create Captions, Subtitle, Style: None' and that adds a blank captions track. Then I can create a transcription in the 'Transcript' subpanel, but again its contents aren't automatically transferred into the 'Captions' subpanel.

 

I work on Win10/GTX1070 with all drivers up to date.

I'm not sure what you mean by "automatically transferred into the 'Captions' subpanel." That process is not automatic. You must click the "Create Captions" button that is in the header area above the transcript text.

Yes! Same here! I have my whole trancript ready to go, but it's not highlighting words as I'm scrubbing thorugh the timeline, and when I click "Create Captions" This window pops up asking me to select format and style, as I click ok. Nothing happens...
I'm just showed the empty Captions panel.

no clips on the timeline, no captions created, nothing.
It does'nt matter which settings I put in that window before I click ok. nothing.

Can you ad some more details to your problem.

 

PC/Mac? What OS version?

What type of Media is being transcribed?

What format did you choose when pressing the "Create Captions"? (608, 708, Subtitle, etc)

Did you choose a style?

Is the caption track showing up above all your video tracks?

Are you using a custom worksapce or default one?

I am on a Macbook Pro with OS 11.1

I am transcribing a prefinished clip with no music, just a talking head. The audio transcribes accurately, no problems there.

I chose "Subtitle," no style.

No caption track shows up. Basically, when I hit "Create Captions" it shows the little blue circle loading next to the box and then does nothing. No new tracks show up. Nothing new appears in the project folder.

The workspace is default. I'm just testing this feature.

Try clicking into the Captions tab, click on the three dots button, then re-transcribe. This kicked it off for me on a couple of examples I tried earlier today.
