Use Text-Based Editing on multiple source clips

[heyletsmakestuff]

Hello everyone!

I just tried the text-based editing in Premiere today and I'm sold. It worked really well on my single-clip video today. I highlighted what I wanted in the transcript and used the comma shortcut to add it to my timeline. Fabulous. 

Many of my other videos, however, have two cameras—one that's facing me and one that's overhead showing the process of the project (I have a crafting channel). I usually sync up the forward and overhead clips together in the timeline based on the audio and just use the audio from the forward camera where I have my nice mic. That way my overhead clip matches up to what I'm talking about. Then I'd clip out what I didn't need to have my final video. (There may be a better way to do this—I am definitely not a pro!). 

But I'd like to use the text-based editing to do all my videos if possible. Does anyone know of a way to sync up the two clips and edit them at the same time using text-based editing? I use Premiere 2024 on a Mac with OS 12.6.5. 

Thanks everyone, hope that makes sense!

Create your muti-cam sequence: synch your cameras, delete the unwanted audio, transcribe your main audio.

Add your multi-cam sequence to the main timeline, PPro will read the transcription from inside that sequence, and you can use the Text panel to do text-based editing.

Thank you! I will give this a shot!
