Please let me export and reimport transcripts

Please let me export and reimport transcripts IN AN EDITABLE FORMAT. I can export and reimport transcripts in a binary .transcript format for which I have no editor. I can export transcripts and captions in a text format, but cannot reimport either after running them through a text editor.

This would save me hours of work daily.

@DemSign,

 

You appear to be in Sequence/Timeline view of the Text Panel/Transcript Tab. And you probably have only source transcripts. 

 

Switch to source view and you will see the option to import corrected (source) transcripts. I have not tested what happens when there are multiple source transcripts, but the function should work.

If only that was a real option.

@DemSign,

 

Round-tripping for edits is very important. The "import corrected" function was a big step forward.

 

The .txt will work for this purpose, but it does require great care in not changing the format. And only relatively minor edits are intended.

 

I have also experimented, mostly successfully, with removing ALL the formatting, and importing the edited text as ONE big paragraph with a single return at the end. PR happily places the text where it had the original timing. As long as the changes are spelling, minor corrections etc, this works okay.
