Export .vtt transcript (with speaker partition)

[MathieuSNCB]

Hi, 

After using the speech-to-text feature in the Premiere Beta version (23.3.0) , I need to export the transcript as a .vtt file that keeps the speaker partioning info intact.

Currently, there are 3 options: export transcript (.prtranscript), export to text file (.txt) and export to csv file.

However:

• I couldn't find any tool that convert from .prtranscript to .vtt.
• When converting a .txt to .vtt (or .csv to .vtt), I loose information about the speaker partitioning
  
  • For example:
    • Source in CSV:
      • "Speaker 1","00:00:01:04","00:00:12:00","This is my first sentence."
    • Converted in VTT: 
      • 1
        00:00:01.250 --> 00:00:02.625
        This is my first sentence.

Ideally, when exporting .vtt files, the speaker names should be formatted as <v NAME > in order for other tools to correctly extract the speaker name.

Is there any workaround I haven't thought about? Or is it something that Adobe will consider implementing?

Thanks a lot!

I would use a macro in Excel to convert the csv to whatever format I needed.

So far, PR provides no .vtt export at all. The EBU/timed text maybe/used to provide an option, but all of that applies only to captions. I think there is an "Idea" for .vtt export.

Curious as to how you'd use vtt for transcript, as much of that is paragraph long text sections.
