Hi, the "Caption" menu item doesn't exist under "New >...". I can import captions but can edit them only on the timeline since the "Text" window never appears. 

 

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)

Big Sur 11.2.3 (20D91)

2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Ok, I got it: it was the Digital Anarchy Transcriptive plugin which disabled some features of Adobe’s new Javascript engine (dubbed New World):

(edited for content: the engineering team has asked to remove all references to internal debug tools).

Beware Transcriptive users!

Wow. Thanks for reporting on this. I'll bet it's getting some other users.

 

The "new world" has been coming to the Adobe code for some time. I guess it's here!

so is the solution to uninstall Transcriptive? I just got Premiere 15.4 and want to use the speech-to-text and I also don't get a text window to appear no matter what I do.

Let's see if someone who knows checks in...

 

It looks to me like Transcriptive may be turning off New World. So even if you uninstall it, it may be off. Contact their support for information.

 

@flablo @Bruce Bullis Suggestion?

Got it.

 

Does the Text Panel appear in the list under Windows? Even if it doesn't open?

    There is no New -> Captions item in PR 2021. Click on the Captions Workspace and start from there.

     

    Here's the new caption workflow reference guide.

      Thanks for the response. The problem is that the "Text" panel doesn't appear. I tried resetting workspaces, deleting preferences, nothing happens
