Transcription issues with multiple audio sources in V 24.1.0 (Build 85)

[Kyle Krueger 3]

For the past few weeks, I have been running into a bug where if I have multiple audio sources, Premiere will only transcribe one of them even though both are selected. It seems to default to the A1 and leaves out others.

This is particularly frustrating as I have to be careful with my versioning because you can also not undo a transcription once it has occurred. And once the transcription is complete I can not select the audio source that it missed. My only workaround has been to render out the audio track as one and re-import it into the program and then transcribe this.

Please help me to find a workaround as this is adding a lot of time to my editing workflow.

These comments are based on my tests in release version 24.1.0.

I believe this is working as designed, but I am not sure what you are doing.

When you say "multiple audio sources" are they in the same file or multiple files? You can only transcribe one audio channel in a single file at a time.

If the channels are in different files and you select multiple files, you do NOT get the channel selection option and PR uses the MIX option to transcribe. This may work for you if the audio in the different channels does not overlap.

You cannot UNDO or DELETE a transcription, but you can retranscribe.

You CAN get multiple transcriptions for a single file/clip, but it requires making multiple transcriptions. See "Independent transcripts can be produced by:" in this post:

I have not tested this in the latest Beta version.
