Just as title says, the transcription bar will never finish. With 22.5 its not stuck on downloading language pack. On 22.2-22.4 It gets stuck on creating auto transcription; it never finishes. Would could be the issue? I can't get it to work with any clip on any 22.2-22.5

Correct answer VANDAINC

Then let us take a look at the next step that could fail. Can you in Premiere Pro - go to preferences - Media Cache Files - open the folder which is shown in there (if there is no folder selected / choose a new home for the media cache) - check this folder is writeable by you by creating a sample file in it. (the media cache is especially important for working with audio only files - e.g. mp3)

Current issue with transcription in combination with AI audio enhance.

Do a new location for both caches.

I knew I was in trouble replacing the linked video with a new one when re-using an old project. It just kept thinking it had it transcribed and I could not delete or do a new transcript. I wish the AI enhance had a way to lock it down so it didn't have to start from zero every time I move the mouse.

im having this same issue for macos apple silicon m1 chipset mac mini. Its horrible. Capcut did the trick in less than a second. All i wanted to do was a clip of 15 seconds. And i spent more time FINDING A SOLUTION TO THIS THAN WHAT IT SHOULD TAKE TO CREATE THE CAPTIONS. ITS A LIVING NIGHTMARE. AND WE PAY MONTHLY THATS THE SAD STORY.

lol I have to say, your comment sums up the current state of adobe products
well. I commented on this thread over a year ago now, no solution or reply
from any of the staff here.

I’ll recommend da Vinci or capcut to new editors 10/10 times & we just look
like idiots for being the ones paying for this when we can’t even recommend
it.

Oh and you know what’s the best? Adobe sent out an email saying they are
RAISING the prices. Lmao ya can’t make this **** up.

@adobe your staff is failing you, your creators aren’t happy, we
consistently have to find paid 3rd party plug ins that other editing
programs have built in natively.

PremiereGal a YouTube channel you guys have worked with in the past, just
made a video on exactly this topic.

still support adobe club”

I have the same issue. It says "Beginning language pack download" and then simply gets stuck at the same progress bar location for ever.

This problem appeared last week and I've tried uninstalling/re-installing, tried the Beta version, etc.

Just now I went to right-click/modify/audio channels and changed the multiple tracks to track 1 only, which is where the interview audio was recorded. Did the trick, don't really know why.

This did the trick ! Thank you. And a great confirmation of the most expensive "Pro" editing app being fixed by it's community - and not by the cheapest customer service option available to a San Francisco company. Cause we're worth it right...

@Gvozdeni32919578zuha,

This is an old thread where the original issues are no longer present, for example, in PR 2023. Adobe employee @Alexander Riss has been helping users troubleshoot the new issues starting at this post:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/premiere-pro-auto-transcription-does-not-work-creating-auto-transcription-stuck-loading-forever/m-p/14036183#M473709

As you can see, it requires careful troubleshooting and information from you about your particular symptoms and status. Read through, see what you can learn, and report back here.

Is there a reason you are not upgrading to the new release 24.0? If you do, keep your current installs and see if the problem is fixed. Version 24 is a new project file version, so be aware that you CANNOT open a PR 24 file in PR 23.

Stan

Edited to correct mistatement. You cannot open a PR 24.x file in PR 23. I said it correctly in the later post.

Thank you for the fast resposne,

When I want to transcribe some audio into captions, I click onto the "transcribe" or "captions" and so, and it just stops at 25% of applying it. I don't know what to do and how to un-glitch it so that it can be upgraded to captions.

Is Premiere Pro 2024 looking the same like 23, are the workspaces look-a-liking. Is it good to upgrade it to 24, I've been used to work in 23 but I can upgrade it.

But please if you know how to help about transcribing glitch I would be pleasured.

If you are using PR version 22.1 or earlier, see this post:

There is a "ppro_s2t_audio_temp_dir" forlder in my "%temp% and it is empty and doesn;t have any left over data. I do not have any 3rd party virus scanners. I still have this problem. Please help me fix this.

I am having the same issue, very frustrating!

Thank you for reporting this issue.

In order to continue to use the transcription feature you have to update to a more recent version of premiere pro that supports running the process locally.

Best regards,

I've had this issue for several months on my desktop and updating the software didn't help at all, nor did two multiple hour-long sessions with Adobe "Support". I sympathize with HINNJUNN--another feature that doesn't work.
