Transcribe "In Point To Out Point Only" Error

I've been using the Transcription tool for a little while now with no issues since the initial bugs when it was released. I am on the latest version of PP. At the moment, I am attempting to transcribe just a portion of what is on my sequence via the "in point to out point only" check box. For some strange reason, when I check that box, "Transcribe" greys out, and I can't seem to solve it.

I've tried modifying the in and out points, but I still get the same result. I've also tried checking and unchecking all of the other boxes, selecting a different language, etc. Nothing seems to unlock the Transcribe button. Thanks in advance for any help.

I've solved it. I realized that when I set my outpoint at the end (instead of the beginning) of the last frame, it actually picks up a frame of black - so, technically out of bounds, as you put it. I've always wondered why Adobe has it set up like this. By chance, do you know why they have it built this way?

Hey there!

New here! I am trying to edit a stand up clip. I went to the source monitor and set my in point and out point when I click transcribe, they "transcribe point to point is greyed out. I have tried to pull it in to my timeline too, but still not seeing a resolution. I am sure this is due to my lack of knowledge but would love some guidance.

Nevermind! I realized what I did. Since I only had on sequence that I was working with, it transcribed the whole thing.

I found an easy solution: Select the clip/clips you want to transcribe then click the "/" key. It automatically sets the exact in and out points quickly. Then transcribe as normal.

Just a heads up, people are using different keyboards so the command is "mark clip" which I have mapped to "x" because I started with the fcp7 keyboard...

I had not seen this issue before. I suspect it is new since the workflow was changed slightly to avoid certain errors with in/out transcribing.

You must set BOTH an in point and an outpoint. If you set only an in point, the shading indicates that the implied end point is past the end of the sequence. If you set an out point only, it looks like there is an in point at the beginning of the sequence, but in fact there is no actual in point.

If you set an in point and out point, but the out point is past the end of the sequence, you also get the warning in your screenshot. You do not appear to get such a warning if the video starts after an in point - I suspect because in such a case, the sequence still begins at zero.

Bottom line, you will get the disabled Transcribe button (and the warning - in/out out of bounds) if your out point is out of bounds OR if there is no "in" or no "out" point set.

thanks for posting your solution. For those of us who have been doing this for too many years, it's obvious. For those who are younger than 60, maybe not so much... Learned this building edit decision lists for online video finishing... back in the 80's I think...
