Question

There is a problem with the text tab Export to CSV

I have normally extracted subtitle text used in Premiere Pro through Text tab → Graphics → Export to CSV file, and used that for a multilingual translation workflow.

However, starting around the 25.6.2 update, the CSV export for Graphics has changed, similar to the one for transcripts.

Previously, each row followed the format
<"Start Time","End Time","Text","Video Track","Layer ID">,
but now it uses
<"Speaker Name","Start Time","End Time","Text">.

The problem is that the Text column no longer includes the values of all Text layers.

I use multiple Text Layers within a single Graphics Layer, but only the content from the top-most Layer (based on Properties — formerly the Essential Graphics Edit tab) is being exported.

Everything worked fine up to version 25.5, but the changed CSV export behavior from 25.6 onward has completely broken my workflow.

Is there any solution other than downgrading?

    @marllon_vilano,

     

    In spite of your confirmation that 25.5.0 was okay, I managed to incorrectly say that this change happened before that. I edited my Beta bug report to clarify. And I temporarily downgraded to PR 25.5.0 to confirm it myself.

     

    In response to a bug report today, I stated my belief about workarounds:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/graphics-quot-export-to-file-quot-missing-text/idc-p/15637162#M59974

     

    Not great news, since the Beta build out today (26.1.1 Build 4) is a) unchanged from the partial fix in the Beta and b) does not provide a workaround to get an export with all layers included.

      @32655583 @marllon_vilano,

       

      Since the problem has been partly corrected in the Beta version, I posted a bug report there:

        @32655583,

         

        Wow. I had not noticed that. Upvoted your post. I confirm the change in 25.6.2 and Beta 26.0.0.39. I see no easy workaround.

         

        Can anyone with 25.5.0 tell us if this change was present there?

         

        The layer ID was an important addition to the caption track csv export to handle segment blocks, just as graphics items need the Video track and layer ID. Adding additional caption blocks is still supported.

         

        The addition of Speaker is interesting, and I wonder if they are moving to capturing Speaker in the caption-related fields. But I see nothing about that, so surely this is a bug. But the .txt exports parallel this, so I am puzzled.

         

        @AnnikaKoenig Can you enlighten us? As you may recall, this was an addition in the caption export that was important:

          Can anyone with 25.5.0 tell us if this change was present there?

          Yes, I downgraded my version to 25.5.0 and it is back:

          "Start Time","End Time","Text","Video Track","Layer ID"

"00;02;38;16","00;02;43;27","🎵 Glória a Deus nas alturas, 🎵","2","1"

"00;02;38;16","00;02;43;27","🎵 Kavód le’Elohim bamromím, 🎵","2","2"

            @marllon_vilano,

             

            Thanks for confirming.

             

            The problem has been partly fixed in the Beta version. I'm going to file a bug report in the Beta forum regarding what is not fixed. I'll provide a link here, and that report will have more information.

             

            But I see no workaround in the current release versions to getting the information from all layers into either the csv or txt file exports.

             

            You can still install 24.x or perhaps 25.x prior to 25.5 which may have the earlier export. I was using 24.6.5 for my tests, and all layers are exported.

             

            If your project is in 25.x, you would need to downgrade a copy of your project file to open it and do the exports. But you can otherwise continue in the new versions.
