Transcript Management - Search and/or Bulk Export

I've been using auto-transcripts and text-based editing quite a bit on recent documentary projects. Something that would make the job easier is being able to search across a project for a specific phrase. 

 

Currently I would need to search for the phrase, and then click into every clip that might contain it individually in order to find the clip where that line is said. A search all transcripts option would be very helpful for dealing with large amounts of archival media. 

 

As a workaround, I can export all of my transcripts as text files and have MacOS search everything at once for specific words, but in order to do that I need to make all the text files, and there does not seem to be a batch export for transcripts.

Upvoted. I thought this had been suggested before, but the last time I looked I could not find it.

 

Yes, the search all, or search selected, transcripts and/or captions would be useful.

 

And not just as a workaround, exporting multiple transcripts at once would also.

 

I'll add a workaround. In source media view, name speakers. To be useful, a speaker name must include a clip identifier plus speaker. When such a clip is added to a sequence, it keeps the speaker name. Export the transcript from the text panel/transcript tab as csv or text. Both keep the speaker name, so you have a reference to where the text is found.
