"Create captions" not working.

[Michael Garretson]

The transcription process works great. As soon as I click the "Create Captions" button, I get the screen below, and it never changes. I can cancel it an go back to the transcription, but can not get any further. I've tried resetting my Premier settings, and resetting the workspace. I've even uninstalled and re-installed. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have just encountered this problem, has anyone had any joy getting it sorted?

I have this exact issue too. It occurs on a work laptop with lots of security measures. My home personal laptop works fine.

Having the same issue. Downloaded the latest PPro version today. System Compatibility Report reports no conflicts on screen - text file attached

Hi I have the exact same issue. Is there a fix for this yet? Very frustrating. Grateful for any advice! No issues in the System compatibility report. I am on Windows 10 system.

Did you install Transcriptive? Any other extensions? If so, check out this FAQ: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/faq-why-does-my-text-panel-remain-blank-or-n...

If not, you might try again in a new project. I had some trouble with open captions not updating in older projects I updated. However, everything was fine in a new project.

[default2apribsgpxm3]

Sadly Kevin, I had no extensions installed. Have tried new projects, reinstalling etc.

[Jessie Collin]

I also have no extensions installed and have only tried captioning new projects

[nicwbta]

As others have mentioned, I have no extensions installed, and it was a brand new project.

[Brenda Morris]

Doesn't work. Please fix.

Is this also happening in current Premiere Pro Beta builds or are you seeing this bug only in 15.4.0 or 15.4.1?

[Phil21850380r95y]

Anyone found a solution to this one yet? I tried EVERYTHING!!

[Jonathan Fahl]

A solution that I found was adding a dedicated graphics card and switching away from the onboard Intel HD graphics. I have a GTX 1650, so it isn't the greatest in the world, but somehow when I changed that part of the computer the 'create captions' button started working.

[nicwbta]

Kerstin - I'm using 15.4.1 (Build 6)

[Kerstin Ebert]

@Jonathan Fahl - that's interesting! Can you please share which card and driver version you're using?

Additionally you can also share a System Compatibility Report:
1. Go to the Help menu -> "System Compatibility Report"
2. If reports are shown, go to "Export Report"
3. This should export 2 txt files, please share these with me

Thank you!

@NiC Wray

Have you tried installing a current Premiere Pro Beta version (22.1)? You can download the Beta version in the Creative Cloud Desktop app -> click on "Beta apps" in the left-hand side and install the Beta version that's available. Then just try out the caption creation workflow with a copy of your project that's failing in 15.4.1x6.

We've added some caption fixed to the current version so there's a chance that this bug has been fixed along the way.

[Jonathan Fahl]

@Kerstin Ebert, here you go. It only spit out one file, but I hope it's what you need.

I'm using an NVIDIA GTX 1650, but the driver has changed several time. When I've had issues with other parts of Premiere, I contact Adobe support and they change the driver installed, but it never seems to affected this particular problem.

[default2apribsgpxm3]

Just to say - I downloaded and tested the Beta and it worked! I was beginning to think this would never work on my work laptop, but clearly there's some kind of fix in the beta.

[Kerstin Ebert]

Thank you all for your input!

Is anyone else seeing that this is working correctly in a current Beta version (22.x), using the same machine and set up on which caption creation failed in the 15.4.1 Release version?

[nicwbta]

Yes, it's working correctly in the beta version for me, using the same machine and set up as on the unsuccessful 15.4.1 version attempt

[Kerstin Ebert]

That's great to hear! if the fix is working in current Beta versions already, you should also see it in the new 22.0 Release version coming out later this month.

[OriginulDawg]

I had the same issue. In Beta it worked, but the beta project after the fix won't open in 15.4.1 How do I get the titles into my project?

Update: I installed a new nvidia driver, but that did not change anything in 15.4.1

[Kerstin Ebert]

Hi Brad,

you can export your captions as SRT file (Go to "..." in the Captions tab and select "Export to SRT"). Then you can import the SRT into any other Premiere Pro project (simply add it to the Project panel and the timeline, or use "Import captions from file" button in the Captions tab).

I was having this issue and found that I could transcribe, but not turn the text into captions.
I also could not alter the text in the transcription section, rename the speaker or delete them.
The text also wouldn't follow along with the video (blue box on text).

This was a sequence with C300 mkIII footage and audio from camera.
Workaround was to export audio as WAV file, re-import into blank sequence and transcribe caption there, then paste captions into the troublesome working sequence, which would then follow along.

[Kerstin Ebert]

HI Ben,
which Premiere version are you using, can you please state the exact build number? And what are the specs of your computer?

When you say you can't edit the speaker name, what were your exact steps? Did you click on the "Edit speakers" option in the drop-down that dhows once you click on "Speaker"?

[dentalb79708686]

I am getting this error currently in version 22. transcribe the sequence, go to create captions and nothing happens, can only manually add it myself.
