Text based editing isn't working. can't delete sections

@ambitious_navigator2029,

This thread is a bit old. The newer releases allow transcription of select audio tracks.

What are you seeing? A screenshot might help.

I'm having the same issue and it's very annoying. Why isn't it working anymore? 

It would not transcribe the dialog on channel 1 for me even though there was dialog. However, if I pointed it to channel 2 it suddenly worked. That said, even though I now have a transcription, it won't delete clip segments so I'm trying to figure that out.

If you only have one clip to use in your main sequence, drag the sequence from the Project Panel to the new icon.

If you have multiple clips, open the sequence in the Source monitor, then use text-based editing to add the parts you want to your main sequence.

If that doesn't make sense, post a screenshot.

How do you nest these two things?

Joshua,

When doing Source Media transcription, you can only transcribe audio in track one. They are working on improving this in the Beta version.

You found the main workaround, which is to use a static transcription. But you must then nest that sequence to use it for text-based editing. It then behaves like a source transcription.
