Problem: There is no way to transcribe a specific clip in a sequence, and select one block of transcript to create captions from that specific block of text. I have created a vertical cut down of 46 seconds, from a video of 26 minutes. I want to create captions for JUST that 46 second cut down. I do not want 26 minutes of Premiere trying to spell words it can't understand. I don't want to fix 26 minutes of Premiere being useless, I want to repair 46 seconds and even that is annoying.
Workflow Streamlining: The CC button creates an entire sequence of captions, ignoring the in/out points set by the user. I have a 10-minute video, I only want captions for a specific 15 second clip as the wind is too disruptive for accurate captions in software. There is no way to isolate that 15 second clip to be transcribed and captioned. I must suffer with transcribing the entire sequence of windy, jarbled audio that is more often than not incorrect, and mislabelled by Premiere.
Steps:
1. Create in-out points on your timeline.
2. Transcribe the entire sequence because Premiere will ignore your in-out points.
3. Highlight a specific paragraph of transcribed text.
4. Click "closed-captions" for that specific block of transcribed text, while you have your in-out points set, because you assume it will only do that section of highlighted text, because it is highlighted.
5. Create captions for the entire sequence because Premiere will ignore your in-out points.
6. ???
7. Pay $35 every month.
I truly believe a more streamlined and selective caption interface for current users would be incredibly helpful. This is an idea request that should have been implemented at caption-creation onset. Now several months later this is still the most cumbersome caption software in professional use case I have worked with.
