Creating auto captions doesn't ask what language

[thepaperwings]

Hi, 

I can't find the "Transcribe Sequence" button anymore under Window > Text, I only see "Create captions from transcript" and it doesn't ask me what language I want the captions to be in.

It used to always ask me what language the audio is so that it can auto-generate the captions for it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

First, the language settings are NOT in the Create Captions dialogue. They are in the Transcription dialogue.

Things got more complicated with PR 23.4 and the new Text-based editing/transcribe source media options. It will make perfect sense, but there is a learning curve.

When you have a transcription of either the source media in your sequence or a static transcription of the sequence, you will see the "new" Create Captions dialogue that paperwings shows above, with a drop down arrow that hides the preferences if you don't open them.

If you have neither transcription, you will still get a dialogue called Create Captions, but it looks like this, shown here with the caption and transcription setting closed:

 

Since you see the Caption dialogue without transcription, you probably created a Source Media transcript. To redo it, find the clip in the Project Panel and right click it. Pick Re-transcribe and it should give you the preference for audio.

There are more gotchas; post back if this does not work.
