Provide a way to delete a transcription

When you copy a sequence and then delete clips in it, the old transcription stays with the timeline. Sometimes I copy a timeline because it has a layout and features that I am using consistently throughout a project but am building new edits within it. I realize that creating a template is probably the best way to go, but sometimes I just want to copy another timeline with edits already in it and work from that. I'd like to be able to just completely delete the transcript that comes over with it. 

 

Perhaps offer an option in the ... menu to CLEAR TRANSCRIPTION

 

I am on MacPro (M1) in PP 23.2 on Ventura

@iris.imaginations,

 

I agree re having the option to delete. But until we have it, all you need for your situation is "re-transcribe."

 

In the newest versions (23.4 and 23.5) with text-based editing (i.e. source media transcription), the automatic transcribe gives no prompt for language and causes problems for quite a few users. I have found that almost all of the transcribes other than automatic actually do present the option.

 

If this is a source media transcription, rather than sequence/static transcription, just find the clip in the Project Panel, right click, and "re-transcribe."

 

If it is a static transcription, open the sequence in the timeline, go to the Text panel, transcribe tab, 3 dot menu, and re-transcribe.

 

Each of those should present the option for language.

 

Also, you can set the default language in Edit -> Preferences -> Transcription. I have not tried the new "detect language." If you change languages frequently, give it a try and let us know how it works.

 

Stan

First time trying to use transcript and it didn't ask me for a language.

So I do have the portuguese spoken text transcribed by an "english ear".

You can imagine the mess it produced. ;-).

I just want to delete this whole transcript and make a new one in portuguese.

Is that really impossible?

 

Thanks for any suggestions if they do exist.

Can't believe it wasn't incorporated from the beginning

This obvious button is missing. I want to import a corrected transcript as a text file, but am unable to because I've already auto-transcribed the sequence on Premiere, which cannot be deleted/replaced.

Need this.

It should be as simple as "delete transcript" and then select track to transcribe.

Not sure how it's 2024 and this isn't a thing yet.
