Adding Captions for One Clip

[Moneeb30461293hccf]

Problem: There is no way to transcribe a specific clip in a sequence, and select one block of transcript to create captions from that specific block of text.

The CC button creates an entire sequence of captions, ignoring the in/out points set by the user. I have a 10-minute video, I only want captions for a specific 15 second clip. There is no way to isolate that 15 second clip to be transcribed and captioned.

Steps to encounter the bug:
1. Create in-out points on your timeline.

2. Transcribe the entire sequence because Premiere will ignore your in-out points.

3. Highlight a specific paragraph of transcribed text.

4. Click "closed-captions" for that specific block of transcribed text, while you have your in-out points set.

5. Create captions for the entire sequence because Premiere will ignore your in-out points.

6. ???

7. Pay $35 every month.

Software: No 3rd party functions installed. Running the latest version of Premiere Pro 2024.
Hardware: Windows 11, version 23H2, Asus Creator Laptop K6502VJ.

Hi @Moneeb30461293hccf,

Thanks for the bug report. I am almost certain this is possible. However, you might need to create a static transcript first.

@Stan Jones, can you please take a look here?

Thanks,
Kevin

@Moneeb30461293hccf,

You are correct; you cannot create captions for an in/out section, only for the entire TRANSCRIPT. It would be a feature request to provide for captions by in/out.

A workaround would be to set the in/out, create a static transcript for the in/out, and then create captions.

If you already have a static transcription, you must select the sequence in the PROJECT PANEL to retranscribe, and then, when you pick in/out, do not pick "merge output."

I might have more ideas depending on why you want a limited section of captions.
