Question

Captions not working

So I finished my latest project, transcribed the sequence, and then went to create a captions track.  The only problem is the sequence transcribed pretty well.  However, when I went to create a captions track it didn't display ANYTHING!!!???

 

What gives?  I really don't want to shut all the way down to "see" if a reboot is going to fix everything.

 

Is anyone else out there in Adobe land experiencing the same issue/error???

    Me!

    I have had this issue for weeks, and have waited for an update to solve it, but so far... still the same.

    And just like you say: it creates the transcript perfectly. But when I touch on Create the Captions, they are always blank. 😕😕

    Mingo, Randy's version of this issue was odd. Make sure that yours is not the one described at this link. There is an easy workaround for it:

    That is odd. It behaves just like this bug, except that your transcribe times are "regular" (they don't start at the 8 or 9 hour mark):

    Note that this is fixed in Beta:

    The workaround when transcribing a full sequence is to be sure you have "transcribe in to out" unchecked. So I would give that a go even though this does not appear to be your problem.

     

    Is this sequence almost 3 hours long? I can see that you have in/out set (or at least an out)?

    Stan,

    I'll have to read your previous post later as I am in a nine-line bind trying to get this project finished for tomorrow's debut.  But I have to share this with the community.  So today, when I opened up the project, the captions are there.  However, the text under the text tab is flawless with just a few grammatical errors that I need to fix.  However, the captions that appear on-screen look like an alien language:

    WHAT THE WHAT!!!  Normally, I would delete the captions track and re-transcribe the sequence, and have it create new captions...

    Now onto your fix...
