Transcribe "In Point To Out Point Only" Error

[M1Storyteller]

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.

If you zoom in on the end of the clip, it's only out by a frame. Once you tuck that in then you can transcribe using the in and out points. When I use the in and out shortcuts I end up having an extra frame. So I have to click the left arrow once to backtrack a frame, then click "O" again to set the "out" point. The previous versions weren't like that. I think I speak for everyone here when I say: Why, Adobe, why?

I am sorry but I have an actual in point and an out point before the end of the sequence and it is still greyed out. It doesn't work. 23.2.0 Build 69 Mac OS Monterey Intel

Jason/Cynzia,

A screenshot might help. Also hover over the greyed out transcribe button to confirm that it is showing the "in out points set are invalid" warning.

I'm sure you've looked at this, but double-check. The most common way to get this problem is that the out point is actually set where the "end" button takes you, which is one frame too many. The forward slash shortcut is one way to deal with this. If you fade out, it is hard to see visually.

Setting a different sequence time (start time) also produces this error.

Actually i set an out point before the end of the sequence and it still won't transcribe in to out, so that is not the solution for me. It is a bug as far as I can tell.

First, will it transcribe the whole sequence if you don't choose the transcribe in to out option?

have you tried copying the audio you want to transcribe to a new sequence?  Not saying it's not a bug, but sometimes workarounds can get the job done.    Also, might be helpful to tell us your audio sequence settings and source properties... wondering if mismatched sampling rates could be causing issues.    You might also export the audio as an uncompressed format like 48k 16 bit aiff or wav and see if that will help solve the issue.

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...

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.
