Caption Editing Ruins Everything Instead Of Editing The Caption

[yash-lucid]

See attached video.

Editing captions like alphabetizing a character reslults in the preceeding and succeeding text to be deleted and replaced with a [...] placeholder which denotes a silence gap.

This is incorrect, instead what should happen is nothing except having the character be alphabetized as in the video, or in other case, it should result in the text being corrected, like when I added a comma to correct grammar, the same thing as the video attached happened.

To me, this is not a Discusison or an Idea, it is a Bug.

It is a bug because the functionality is flawed, and undoes actual work, and creates more problems, not allowing correcting to happen.

24.6.1 (Build 2)

Win 11

Steps to reproduce: Just correct something, in my case, neste comps of videos, in a timeline, go into each comp to click transcribe, return to main timeline to correct one small thing. The issue is when videos are nested with cuts, the parent/main timeline struggles

Expected result should be corrected text by user, while keeping the rest the same

EDIT:

• Issue -

  Editing captions like alphabetizing a character reslults in the preceeding and succeeding text to be deleted and replaced with a [...] placeholder which denotes a silence gap.

• Adobe Premiere Pro version number:24.6.1 (Build 2)
• Operating system - Win 11 latest
• System Info: CPU, GPU, RAM, HD:

  • CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz 1.80 GHz

  • GPU and Driver Version: Nvida T500, 31.0.15.3827

  • RAM: 32GB

  • Hard Drive: Internal 512GB SSD

• Video format: 29.97fps Canon DSLR video, likely 4:2:0, mp4
• Workflow details: Videos are edited and placed in various sequences per interviewee, then those sequences with the nested interviews are placed in a main timline for further editing/captioning etc
• Steps to reproduce - (Very important!)

1. Edit clips and nest into sequences, like interviewee 1, interviewee 2 etc
2. Place interview nests on main timeline
3. Correct any caption text from the main root timeline
   

• Expected result - Expected result should be corrected text by user, while keeping the rest the same
• Actual result -  Instead results in the preceeding and succeeding text to be deleted and replaced with a [...] placeholder which denotes a silence gap, and also removes other captions in the sentence before and after the edited area.

Hello,

The team needs more info. What is the media you are dititn with? See, How do I write a bug report?

Thanks.

Hi @yash-lucid 

thank you for the detailed bug description, this helped us to reproduce the issue on our end. I only see this happening when the sequence that you nested contains clips from multiple different media files – is that also what you are doing?

Thanks,

Kerstin

Yes that's correct, each nest contains a shortened edit of a separate video file. 

So in my case, each interviewee has their own MP4 file, so each nest contains a unique video file, with some cuts.

The nested sequences are then lined up in a main timeline for a montage of edited interviews.

Thank you for confirming that workflow. We will look into this and I will let you know once there is an update on this bug.

Until then, the workaround I can think of is editing the transcript in the source clip itself (open the transcript of the source clip(s) and make the text corrections there, not in the sequence transcript).

Best,

Kerstin

@yash-lucid,

Thanks for the detailed response (original and edited) and the screen recording. I did not get my post finished, and Kerstin has now reproduced the bug. In a simple test, I do not see the problem.

@Kerstin Ebert, thanks for getting to the problem so quickly!
