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:

I have the same problem.

In my project I have three different texts appearing on the screen at the same time, and last year I created a game which uses the information of every layer to put every text on their specific places into the game.

Now I'm working on a new video and when exporting the CSV file, only the first layer gets exported exactly like mentioned by @32655583.

I don't understand how in a big company like Adobe, with so many customers using their products, and with a so expensive subscription, the developers would totally change this export feature instead of creating a second option or making it customized. I can only believe this was made by a junior while having no QA at all.
