Where are the transcribed transcription files stored

[mickpeninsulaTV]

Hello,

Where are the transcribed, transcription files stored?

I've opened my project on another computer from our server and sometimes on an external drive and the transcription is to be done again.

Does anyone know where these files are saved, so I can put them in my project folder?

Thanks,

Mick

The transcribed text is stored in the project file. No reason for a project opened on another computer to prompt for transcribed material to be transcribed again.

But there are reasons it might look like that - were the media relinked when you opened from another computer?

What specific version of PR are you running? Help -> About. The latest is 23.5.

Hi Stan,

thanks for replying to me.

Where is this text stored on the project file?

Nothing on my projects!

All media relinked with no errors and all my transcripts missing, so I had to do it again on 8 interviews.

I've rolled it back to 23.2 version for stability reasons which have not been addressed yet:

I am not suggesting that you try to do anything with this. You can't. It is simply a way to check whether the transcript content is in the project file. I can't see any way that PR would remove a transcript if you are just saving and reopening a project.

Unzip the .prproj file. Open in text editor. Search for ExternallyProvidedTranscriptDocument

The content of the transcript is hex code that looks like this....

Thanks Stan,

I've re-transcribed all my audio now. Next time I'll look at it. FYI, this haapns to many of our editors here when they ake over a project or work from home, so there must be a folder somewhere with these files that premiere is looking for.

I have not studied the productions files; is that what you are using? My guess is that for each actual project, they are the same. But I have no idea.

It's happened again on my next project, I've no idea how to unzip Pproj files with a mac. But I can happily send you the file if you want to look at it and see why I've lost my transcripts again.

You just change the filename to have a "*.zip" ending, then you doubleclick it.
