Editing transcripts

[Matthew35055171c5kz]

Hello, I use Premiere Pro to edit webinar recording which are an hour long. I auto generate the transcript and then have to gor through the transcript in PP to correct typos etc. As you know, this requires me to double click the text to go into edit mode, edit and then click out to go back to play mode. With a recording an hour long this can take a whole day. A solution, in my head, would be to have the option to open the entire transcript for editing whilst in playback. All I would have to do then is space bar to pause, edit, space bar to play, keep going... It would save a huge amount of time. Or does this exist and Ive just missed it. If someone knows better than I your wisdom would be greatly received. Thanks, Matt

You can't edit the transcript and have those edits flow through to your existing captions, but you can actually double-click a caption directly in the Program monitor to edit it. This is much quicker than going into the Text panel. After you make an edit, you can just move your mouse down to the Play button to keep going.

Hi I hope you don't mind me asking you another question. Once I have made a transcript of all spoken word in my edit, and do more editing after that, will the transcript texts stay connected to the clips they belong to??

The transcripts are stored with the project file, not the clip.
