Enthusiast ,
Sep 11, 2025 Sep 11, 2025

whenever i transcribe my timeline and then cut something out of my timeline, the transcription doesnt follow. I look at it and its all off.  like when i hit play on the timeline, the transcription is showing something totally different then what I'm hearing on the timeline. I swear the transcription used to travel with you when you cut stuff out. Premiere version 25.4.1 (Build 3)

Hi @Dani_V. , this is a regular Premiere Pro Project. 

 

This occurs with cuts and trims as well. Restarting the Text panel does nothing, only closing and re-opening the project.

 

Media files are mp4s. These are not nested nor multicams. Everything (except Scratch disks) are stored on an external SSD. The scratch disks are stored in a separate, internal SSD.

 

@Stan Jones Yes, thank you, I've found that closing and reopening the project is a viable workaround as well. Some have been duplicated and some haven't been, but it's the same issue for both types.

I am an editor for social media; as such I make daily videos that required captions. Prior to this version of Premiere, my workflow was pretty simple with auto-transcribe turned on:

 

1. Duplicate the previous video's sequence.

2. Delete the video in the new sequence.

3. Replace it with the new (auto-transcribed) video.

4. Look through the transcript.

5. Edit the transcript.

6. Export.

 

HOWEVER, with this updated sequence, I'm coming across two issues:

The first issue happens in step 4 ('Look through the transcript') - now, when I look through the transcript, it is still showing the transcript from the previous video that has been deleted. To fix this I need to duplicate the sequence; the transcript in the new sequence matches the video, and I can thus continue to step 5 of my workflow ('Edit the transcript'). 

 

Here is where I run into my second issue: When I make any edits to the transcript and click out of it, those edits automatically revert back to the original text, essentially undoing all my changes. To fix this I have to close Premiere and re-open it. 

 

As you can see I have fixes to these issues, but they still are an interruption to my workflow and are new issues that were NOT present before the update. Hopefully because these are relatively minor bugs they are relatively easy to fix. Please let me know if you have run into similar issues. Thank you

 

My specs:

Premiere version number - 25.5.0

Computer - Mac Studio (2023)

Chip - Apple M2 Ultra

MacOS - Sonoma 14.5

Hi @matiasb44119112

Welcome to the Premiere Pro forums and thank you for reporting a problem. 

 

There is a known bug where the Transcript panel is not updating after duplicating a sequence (see thread here) and a fix for this has been implemented in the Premiere Pro Beta version 25.6.0 Build 74 and later, if you would like to test it out. This fix will be included in the next stable release 25.6.0. 

Sorry for the frustration, 
Dani

Hi everyone,

I’ve been running into a recurring issue with automatic transcription in Premiere Pro.

When working on a project that contains multiple sequences, Premiere often “loses” the link between the transcription and the actual content of the sequence.

Here’s what typically happens:

  1. I open my project and start editing.
  2. I duplicate a sequence that already has a transcription. In this new sequence, I replace the main video clip with another one — which should obviously have its own transcription.


The problem is that Premiere keeps the old transcription from the original sequence. It won’t update or re-generate the text, even after removing and re-adding the clip.

The only workaround I’ve found is to completely close and reopen Premiere Pro, which forces the transcription to refresh.

Is this a known bug? Or is there a way to manually force Premiere to update the transcription without restarting the software?

Thanks in advance for your help,
— Sébastien

Transcibe / Transcription only works a couple mins at a time. Stalls while making cuts in the timeline, does not follow the marker or update consisntely as changes are made to the timeline. 

 

Requires closing the project and reopening to re-set it. Will work for five-ten minutes and then stall again.

Hello,

I just followed this thread because I just got the same kind of problem editing a multicam sequence to work on a reel. I was making a cut (video + audio) in my timeline to remove some unwanted stuff but the transcription was out of sync. 

So, we have to wait for the next stable release from what I just understood there, right ?

I agree this is fixed. I tested a duplicate sequence, since that is the only condition where I could replicate it.

 

@rachelcenter, I hope you weren't affected by the whole 25.6.0 project craziness. Has 25.6.1 sorted your issue?

 

@Fokse, your issue also appeared to be something more than just a duplicate sequence. Has 25.6.1 fixed this for you?

 

I'll note that whenever I update the version, I reset all preferences, cache, and plugin loading cache, and create a new project for testing. Some bugs/issues may not be resolved in an existing project or with existing cache files.
