Trasnscribing Merged Clips

Yeah I work in all merged clips and I have to put them into a sequence and transcribe them via the sequence, it won't let me transcribe just the source clip. Fantastic feature, just a small bug, looking forward to the fix!

Shane, good idea. And the reminder to ID speakers at that stage!

Ah, you triggered a thought... So just transcribe the separate audio first then merge it to the video. Voila!  Make sure you name your speakers before the merge or else you'll be doing it again.

Shane,

Great question: Growing pains, uncharted waters, etc.

@nbechere What is your recommendation for merged clips?

I made a merged clip out of Clip 1 video and Clip 2 audio. I forgot that Clip 2 was already transcribed (source media). The transcript followed the audio, so my merged clip already had a source transcript, and it could be used when I put it into a sequence.

So I created a merged clip with audio that had not been transcribed in its original clip. When I opened the merged clip in the Source Monitor and switch to the Transcript tab, it said there was untranscribed media, but there was no option to transcribe it.

I exported the audio only as WAV. Imported it and opened it in the Source Monitor. Transcription was available, and worked. I had to use the WAV file for the audio in the merged clip, but once I did that, the merged clip showed as transcribed.

This was nico's response in the Beta forum to the issue of source media transcription when the dialogue is not on track 1:
