Text-Based Editing Not Working?

[Chad22158382h0cg]

Trying the new Text-Based Editing in 23.4. 

However, it does not appear to be working correctly... or at all.

I have a clip on sequence that has been automatically transcribed. I can go to the "Transcript" window, and highlight text. I can right-click on the text and all options appear - Cut, Delete (Ripple), Delete, etc. When I choose "Cut", for example, the text does not cut in the "Transcript" window and no cut is made in the sequence.

Same issue if I load the clip in the "Source" panel. I can hightlight the text, right-click to show the "insert" and "overwrite" options, but neither function inserts the clip into the timeline.

I may have found the issue. You must have the "Automatically set in/out points" selected.

@Chad22158382h0cg Yep sounds like you found it. If the auto-In/Out is turned off, you'll need to manually set In/Out points (you can use I and O keys) in the Text panel to be able to edit. But most people just leave the auto button on.
