I understand that the current version of Premiere does not support multilingual captioning. Hopefully it will be added soon, as there is a whole world of countries and languages outside of America (believe it or not).
Even if it is just a feature that supports manually adding text translations in a structured way, that would already be helpful.
Some more suggestions (up for discussion):
Editing the transcription text file is very tedious, because everytime you open a transcription paragraph in the TEXT panel, Premiere attempts to move the video on the timeline as well. On a 4K video (with good graphics card), it freezed 10 seconds every time, making for a terrible text editing experience.
I often feel when using Adobe products, that the people who develop these features don't actually use them. Otherwise, its hard to see why this is not noticed internally before releasing these features. Maybe it's just that Adobe employees use optimized Apple machines only and development for Windows users is under par and / or neglected?
Here is my suggestion (for us Windows users): Create a button in the TEXT module, that allows us to temporarily disconnect the auto-move timeline features, especially when we are just editing the text transcript. There is no need to move the video around in real time in this cause, as we are only editing text. I'm surprised no one at Adobe thought of this. Are Adobe employees using mainframes computers with A100 chips that they don't notice this kind of lag and slow performance????
The overall performance is very sluggish and slow (even when performing such simple tasks as exporting caption text files). Would be nice to have a usuable and efficient product for daily use.
