Feature Request: New Tool Suggestion: Transcription and Text-to-Video Tool

[Antonio Tarrell]

Subject: Proposal for New Adobe Feature: Transcription & Text-to-Video Integration

Dear Adobe Team,

My name is Antonio, and I am a documentary filmmaker who regularly uses Adobe's Frame.io in my workflow. I’m reaching out to propose a new feature or plugin that could greatly enhance the filmmaking process: a Transcription and Text-to-Video Tool..

This tool could allow users to generate accurate transcripts from video footage, and then use the text to identify, tag, or even create video sequences directly from the script inside Frame.io. Such functionality would be particularly useful for managing interviews, narrative alignment, and editing processes in documentary filmmaking.

Mod note: Your title was changed for search purposes.

Additionally, integrating this feature as a plugin extension that works seamlessly with screenwriting software like Celtx would add incredible value. Filmmakers could directly connect their scripts to video footage, creating a more fluid and efficient workflow.

This innovation would save filmmakers countless hours of work and significantly streamline projects where managing large volumes of dialogue or interviews is central to the narrative. It would truly be a game-changer for the industry.

Thank you for considering this idea. I’d be happy to provide further insights or participate in any discussions to help refine the concept.

Best regards,
Antonio

@Antonio Tarrell 

did you intend this as a premiere pro suggestion?

[Antonio Tarrell]

No, for Frame.io app/software.

Hi [kglad],

Thank you for your response and for highlighting Premiere Pro's text-to-video capabilities. While I recognize the strength of this feature, I believe incorporating a more advanced transcription and organizational tool, similar to Lumberjack Builder or SpeedScriber, directly into Frame.io would be an excellent enhancement.

Such functionality would provide teams with more robust tools for managing interviews, crafting narratives, and collaborating efficiently. By integrating this into Frame.io, team members could streamline workflows significantly, from transcription to assembling story-driven edits.

Moreover, this feature could offer clients a seamless way to engage and provide feedback directly within the platform, enriching the collaborative process.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how Adobe could bring such advanced options to Frame.io.

Best regards,
Antonio

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Hello @Antonio Tarrell:

Text-based editing, which includes transcription, has been available for a while now.
Premiere Pro User Guide > Editing > Text-Based Editing | FAQs

You have a lot of interesting ideas for additional functionality.  You can use this survey to share your feedback and ideas.  I don't think that the survey has been updated since text-based editing was first in public beta, so some of the questions may feel a little like it's not in the release verion yet.  I'd answer all the questions anyway, but you may want to focus on the last question, "What else would you like us to know?"

Text-to-Video features have been previewed for Premiere Pro, but have yet to be available directly in Premiere Pro.  For text-to-video, you may be interested in joining the wait list for when Adobe Firefly Video becomes available.  You can read more about that here:  Bringing genreative AI to video with Adobe Firely Video Model.

You may also be intersted in Generative Extend that's currently available in the public beta version of Premiere Pro (Premiere Pro User Guide > Beta Features > Generative Extend FAQs).  The beta can be installed along side the current release.

FrameIO integration with transcripts would be great, by the way.
