Question

replace, or delete and redo, a transcription

The transcription tool is a game changer!

 

Is there a way to delete and redo a transcription? I did a transcription of a stringout where I didn't separate speakers and need to redo it.

 

I also had a project where I was trying to play back a different sequence while a transcription was running and the project crashed. After that, the project would crash multiple times when I tried to finish transcribing the first sequence or start transcribing another sequence.

To replace or redo a transcription in Premiere Pro:

  1. Load your source files into the Source Monitor.
  2. Open the Text panel.
  3. Click the three dots (...) in the top-right corner of the panel.
  4. Select Re-transcribe Clip from the dropdown menu.


You'll then be presented with the option to label separate speakers.

In PP 2024, when I click the three dots, re-transcribe clip is not an option.

Is it greyed out or not in the list at all?

Can you share a screenshot of your application window?

Can you start a new project? If not, then you can create a new project and IMPORT the faulty project in.

 

Be sure to delete the cache files (hold down shift when starting PP from the regular icon). Do that before new and import.

@MyerPj Thanks for these options regarding the constantly crashing project. I'll try them next week when I'm back at work if the project continues to have problems transcribing. I copied the project onto an external drive to try to finish the transcription on a different computer, but it looked like most of the transcriptions were finished.
