I've used this feature in the past and had no issues. However, in my latest project I can't seem to check the "filler words" box when editing my transcript. I have restarted and updated Premiere and nothing seems to work. Has anyone else run into this issue and how did you fix it? TIA

Error or problem

Any chance either of you transcribed these clips before filler words were added to PR? Try re-transcribing if you have not edited the transcription.

In PR 24.4.1, filler words is an option in the Transcript view options, even if there are no filler words. But if the option did not exist in PR when transcribed, it is not an option (greyed out).

I am having the same issue. My goal is to delete and extract all filler words and the delete button is disabled when trying to do so. I think this is related to what is going on here. Help!

Ah. You must be working with a Static transcript of the Sequence. You can't filter/delete Filler words in a static/sequence transcript.

This results in the greyed out (unchecked) Filler option in transcript view options, and the absence of a Filler words option for the filter.

In the Transcript tab, click on the 3 dots and pick Generate text-based editing transcript. You will lose the static transcript, but you'll have to redo it once you delete filler words.

Stan!! THANK YOU!! Thanks for sticking with me on this. It was driving me crazy. That was the key! I am pretty much self- taught with video editing and it is so easy to miss something like this. Again, THANK YOU!!
