Why can I only see transcription properly when I play from the

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a frustrating issue with transcriptions in Premiere Pro and hoping someone can help me understand what’s going on.

Here’s my workflow:

1. I transcribed an hour-long clip by double-clicking it in the Project panel so it opened in the Source Monitor.

2. In the Text panel, I selected for Premiere to seperate the speakers, clicked Transcribe, and Premiere correctly generated the full transcription for the entire hour-long clip.

3. Then, I dragged that clip from the Project Panel into my timeline.

4. Then, when I play from within that timeline, and scrub around, I only see a transcription of the last 10 minutes or so of the clip, at doesnt even dilineate between the two speakers. Even when I double-click the clip from the timeline (so it reopens in the Source Monitor) and look at the Text panel, it still shows me the same limited transcription.

So basically:

• If I double-click the source clip in the bin, I can see the full transcription in the Text panel (but I have to listen to the very poor on-camera audio). ✅

• If I play the clip from the timeline, I get to listen to the clean audio by selecting only the lav tracks, but then I only see transcription for the last 10 minutes. ❌

The problem is I really need the transcription to show while playing from the timeline for a variety of reasons, one of which is because my synced sequence uses external lav audio (not just the on-camera scratch audio). Right now, I can only see the transcription properly if I open the raw source clip from the bin.

Has anyone else run into this? Is this a bug, or am I missing a step to make the full transcription carry over into the sequence/timeline version of the clip?

Thanks in advance, it’s driving me crazy!

P.S. attached screen shots show how when playing from the timeline, the transcription only shows for the last ~10min of the clip (and doesnt delineate the speakers) Vs. when I double click the source clip from the project pane, so it opens in program monitor, and then click the Text tab, showing me the full, proper transcription for the entirety of the clip)
