Hi everyone - I am on 2024 version 24.2.1 (build 2)
My Import corected transcript (txt) option is missing / greyed out. I do my edits, transcribe it and then export the transcript as txt file - no problem. But when I go to import the option is greyed out. This has only happened in the last few weeks.
Does anybody else expereince this? Does anybody know how I can get it owrking - what am I missing?
In the screen shot I have not transcribed the sequence but that is the view I get when I have transcribed and exported.
Many thanks in advance
Matthew Emson
Hey there @MatthewEmson,
Thanks for writing in with your issue. This tripped me up too. Try the import function on the source clip, not one in the timeline. Choose Sequence > Match Frame to load the clip from the sequence or double-click it in the Project panel. Then, go to the Text panel to make the import. See if that works for you.
Thanks,
Kevin

A thousand thanks @Kevin-Monahan - this has worked a treat. It was the Sequence > Match Frame that did it and I express the feeling of happiness that shot through me when all of a sudden Import Corrected Transcript (txt) appeared for me! Thank you, sir.

Fantastic! I press the F key for an even quicker match frame. Check it out.

Hey, this is nice to know, had the same issue... but to be honest, if you have a transcript made out of a lot of different sources or parts, this functin is really annoying, do it manually. So, you are exporting the full transcript of the complete sequence, but then you have to split it for the import? Is there no other way? My workaround know at the moment: Exporting just the Audio to one MP3 and merge, import in Premiere, doing the transcript then, exporting, doing the edits and importing like you described?

I argree with jörgr, I exported the complete transcript, proofread it (after making sure there was the option to upload a corrected transcript), and now I can't upload my corrected version no matter what I try. If the option isn't greyed out, Premiere will freeze before I even have the option of chooing the txt file. I tried creating a new project with the exported sequence, and uploading the transcript there, but Premiere doesn't recognize it's own timecode stamps in the transcript. PLUS when I convert the unproofed transcript to captions, the captions are even worse than the transcript text. To make matters worse, trying to correct the transcript or captions within the text editing window in Premiere is slow and labourious. Funny that the program can handle the complex video edits and effects, but bogs down as a text editor.

The whole process has been frustrating!!!

I also agree. To be useful, this feature needs to work for a seqeunce, not just at a clip level.

This part of Premiere Pro has been broken for years and years. It is less broken but still garbage because you just can't rely on it to finish a project.
