Premiere Pro 2025 - No option to transcribe sequence in text tab

Trying to transcribe a sequence interview footage (clean audio) and the option to transcribe just isn't there in the text panel. Only option it gives is to generate a static transcript.

@Matthew38616698cmux,

 

That is odd. What you are missing is the name(s) of the untranscribed source clips in the sequence - Nico in my screengrab.

You can simply select the clip in the Project Panel, right-click, and pick Transcribe.

I have the same issue. I am unable to transcribe a sequence. I have followed all troubleshooting steps to no avail. I can transcribe clips in the project panel and source monitor but not a sequence or active monitor. I am using Windows. I am going to switch over to a Mac and see if it works there. I am working on a documentary with Spanish interviews that need to be translated and captioned in English.

Same on a Mac. Not able to transcribe a sequence.

I found clearing all the cache and renders, resetting preferences, restarting machine and then reloading everything into a new project (minus any graphics) seemed to work for me. It's a massive inconvenience but it seemed to be the only way I could resolve the issue.

I'm having the same issue - I click on the Text tab but the option to transcribe (or infact any of the other usual options) isn't there. I've tried selecting the clip and the sequence, restarting Prem, resetting preferences etc and still no joy. Currently working off 25.1.0 (the most up to date version currently). Can anyone help?

@Martin35425760n4d9,


The text panel has crashed. Odd given what you've tried.

 

Create a new test project. Add one clip. Right click in the project panel, and pick transcribe. Does that work?

Hi Stan,

 

Thanks for the reply. I've tried this and reset preferences again, whilst the correct panels now show up when I click on the Text tab, nothing within the tab is clickable so I can't create active or static transcriptions. Don't suppose you have any idea what the fixmight be or is it just a Premiere glitch?
