Latest Premiere Pro update has ruined captions

New Here ,
Nov 24, 2025 Nov 24, 2025

Does anyone seem to know why on the latest version of PP, when auto transcribing video tracks, the captions it generates are laughably bad, missing out entire sentences, getting words completely wrong and just all in all meaning that you have to transcribe the video yourself. I never had issues with the previous versions but after updating it can't handle it. For context, the audio is clean and clear and testing on a seperate system which is still using the older version of PP it handled it like usual.

@Rocksteady Music School,

 

Are you transcribing and then creating captions? Or are you using the single-step option of creating the transcription and captions? The latter occurs when you put untranscribed clips in a sequence, and click "Create captions from transcript" in the Captions tab.

 

I just tested a known hour-long sample in 24.6.5, 25.6.2, and Beta 26.0.0.39, and compared the transcription from each. 

 

Testing Captions involves another step, so I'm wondering how you created your captions.

I am importing the clip into the timeline, then creating a transcript. After the transcript is in and edited to change mistakes and flow, that is when I then click the 'Create Captions' button on the top row of the Transcript window.

@Rocksteady Music School,

 

Wow. So a sentence in the program monitor/sequence view of the transcript does not appear in the captions?

Mine won't even create the captions any more and it took ages to transcribe.

 

Come on Adobe. We are paying for this product.
