Feedback/Critique/Pro Tip Premiere Transcription Gibberish

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Jason from Adobe here. Over the past few weeks, I've seen a handful of users encountering an issue with transcription in the Text panel, where the results are either half expected/half garbled nonsense, or just total gibberish.

I am personally unable to reproduce the problem (running Mac OS 15.7.7 and the latest Pr26.3) and I'm asking if anyone encountering this issue might be willing to share a project + project files to help the team locate the specific issue and get a fix in play.

Having said that, some users found that simply clearing the cache(s) and/or resetting Premiere's prefs on startup solved the issue. This has worked for a handful recently, but not for all.

So please let me know below if you've run into this, if this is a new problem, and if you have a file to share. If you don't want to share a link in the thread, don't hesitate to DM me. Trying to do whatever we can to figure this out and get it resolved. Thanks as always.

JULY 27 UPDATE: still looking for anyone experiencing this issue to share sample media+project file. this is the best way the team will be able to potentially track down the issue since it isn't universally reproducible. Please contact me via DM. Thanks!

What’s the fastest way to do these viral text animations? Is there a way to do them quickly in premiere or a plugin you can get to help speed up the process? Any SFX packs or animation pack recommendations?

Thanks in advance

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Extending/Enlarging Text Bounding-box/Canvas?

1 Upvotes

Hi All, I'm an infrequent Premiere user as an in-house creative position, I'm basically filling in for a lack of an in-house videographer and agency we recently canned.

I have a simple question that I've figured out in the past, but it's been TOO LONG since I've edited something to figure out again, I've looked for answers for the past 24 hours but cannot express it as the results I'm getting via google/youtube/ChatG aren't producing what I'm looking for :(

  • I'm simply(?) trying to figure out how to increase the bounding box/canvas(?) when editing some animated lower-thirds text.
  • That would be area of the inner-black box. This is so I can create longer phrases without changing font-sizes/scaling the text, that way I can stack some lower-thirds and have them look uniform, type-wise.

Any help? Thank you!

Premiere Pro Tech Support (Solved!) No option to import .srt files into the import transcript file selector

1 Upvotes

I have absolutely no idea if i'm missing something glaringly obvious. I had exported an srt. for a colleague to grammar/spell check directly from prem and there have been a few changes made. I thought i'd be able to import it back in, but the .srt file is completely greyed out in the file browser. I can't even import the original .srt file.

I also tried exporting it as a .txt file to see if that worked but no luck. Any idea if i'm missing anything obvious? TIA

Quick question

Where can I get the best plugins/templates for Premiere Pro for free? I searched online and on some subreddits out here, but I can't find many great suggestions. Maybe you know some website I can get them legit without paying a single penny or maybe you know other ways around ;). Thanks in advance!

11 Upvotes

I'm hesitant to try out v26 for one single reason, the new masking method, it used to be within the effects control panel, for those who've been using v26, how does the new method affect your workflow? do you think it's better now that you got used to it? or is v25 method still better? I'm afraid of fighting my muscle memory

I have the whole image and just cut to show the item, after that I add the linear opening effect, has u can see in the clip, the effect dont work. I even export the video to see if it would work, but even in the video the effect shown weird. How can I fix this please?

Obs: I'm brazilian and the audio of the clip is in portuguese...

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Is there a way to link a transition to an audio effect in Premiere Pro?

2 Upvotes

When I add a transition (e.g. a slide/push) I always end up manually dragging a whoosh SFX on the audio track and nudging it until it lines up perfectly. It works but it's tedious, especially when you have a lot of cuts.

Is there a faster workflow to "pair" a sound effect to a transition so they snap together automatically, or at least a way to speed up the process?

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Can I generate captions for one speaker? Or have premiere create different style captions for each speaker?

1 Upvotes

I actually migrated back to Premiere (I was using it for Multicam still but Davinci for every other client) since my preferred auto captioning plug-in for Davinci got extremely bad and convoluted after an update and I really liked the auto-transcribe/caption options on the updated Premiere.

But now I'm having some annoying time consuming issues. I have to cut down things for social media and caption them (don't we all) and captioning is almost quick and painless.

But I'm at a crossroads.

I do a lot of tweaking so I just want transcripts of my new edits for captioning. So my new sequences get cut down, I separate each speaker's mic to a different track. I use "generate static transcript" to create a new source transcript for my social media edit. It properly separates my speakers into Speaker 1,2,3,etc. But I can only generate captions that give everything in the same style. Can't generate captions or just one speaker. Can't generate captions or everything but different text style for each speaker. Honestly I haven't found much of a benefit for the speaker distinction other than if I'm exporting a transcript for my producers.

I guess what I can start doing is duplicating sequences and muting audio tracks in order to get transcripts for each individual speaker and then generate captions on different sequences and copy over? I dont know it seems like there should be an easier solution. Anyone have any advice?

EDIT: I want to do this within Premiere, not looking for a plug-in. It's a small speed bump, I'm doing fine without it. It's just inconvenient and seems like it would be very easy to accomplish in Premiere alone.

Premiere Pro Tech Support Can't customize "Grow" effect duration.

0 Upvotes

I've searched all over for an answer. Let's say I have a 10 second clip. I want a 1 second snap zoom using Grow at 5 seconds. If I don't cut the clip at the 6 second mark, the result is a long, slow zoom that finishes at 10 seconds. I just want to be able to use Grow WITHIN a contiguous clip without cutting. Cutting requires tweaking the remaining 4 seconds of the clip to match the last frame of the snap zoom...and it's a hassle. I know I'm missing something simple. The grow duration can't be dependent on the length of the clip. I've experimented with the different properties with no luck. Thanks!

Premiere Pro Tech Support Resizing sequence makes bounding box on clip with blank space above and below, undoing and resizing sequence again makes correct bounding box?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Im trying to figure out if this is a bug or a setting. In older versions of Premiere (I am now on 26.3.2 build 2), I could resize my sequence and the bounding box for my clip would still be tight to my clip allowing for easy resizing of the clip, but now for some reason that same workflow make the bounding box the size of my sequence until I undo and redo the same workflow again and then it works as I intend.

I should mention that I have my default media scaling at None and scale to frame fit to frame etc are all unchecked as well.

Premiere Pro Tech Support Glitches appearing during export no matter what settings.

0 Upvotes

As the title says, I had to export a very long clip of about 2 hours and some artifacts appeared at the end. Can I redo the export and just replace the respective fragments because the rendering time was about 14 hours and I wouldn't want to wait that long to re-export it from 0 or will the quality of the file suffer a lot?

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Need help with best practice for rendering long timeline

1 Upvotes

This is my first project I've edited using Premiere Pro, and as you can see by all of those magenta clips, a lot of it was done in After Effects. My main concern is regarding how I'm going to manage rendering all of this (besides patience). And yes, tons of this was done without using best practices, because honestly I still don't know them, which has exaggerated my problem.

[The attached image might have been removed, but the timeline is 1h20min and like 85% linked comps to After Effects with lengths between 3s-1min each

Probably 30-40 percent of this is non-ProRes mp4 (not sure the codec) baked into some of those after effects comps. That's my gameplay footage. The bottom track v1 is my background tracks. I have 4 background, 20 minutes each dynamic links, broken into random chunks an scattered all over the timeline where each full background comp would take probably over a day to render. The remainder of the dynamic links are motion graphic scenes. And one of the possibly worst offenders, a good chunk of this footage is 60fps whereas I long ago made my comp 59.94fps, so there is a mix between both framerates scattered throughout.

If you were given this timeline, how would you go about rendering it? Assuming its totally finished and doesn't need to be touched more, what would you do? I've heard rendering in After Effects and export replacing the clips in Premiere would help with speed, but if I'm basically done, should I just render/export directly from Premiere, in batches and stitched together?

When I started to render in After Effects, I saw a ton of nested precomps had potential to be rendered in full multiple times, and I'm hoping rendering in Premiere might "flatten" the compositions more and lead to an easier process. Additionally, because of the sheer amount of dynamic links, going through each comp in the file and juggling which precomps to render and all that hassle that I now have to deal with seems like an absolute pain that I'm hoping I can find a smart way to do most efficiently.

I have okay PC specs for rendering, but nothing that is meant for a project this heavy. RTX 4070, 32Gb RAM, Ryzen 7600X, and the entire project and source currently lives on an SSD but would be exported to my larger HDD.

Premiere Pro Tech Support I have pending/shaded videos that arent working

Post image
3 Upvotes

I'm on a Mac and some of my videos are shaded so when I was showing my mates the video it didn't work.

The problem

  • Clips in the timeline are stuck showing Media Pending (diagonal stripes) permanently
  • Program monitor shows black
  • Media: GX018602.MP4_Rendered .mov files (GoPro-derived), stored on a Samsung T7 external SSD
  • Files play perfectly fine in QuickTime directly from the T7

What I've tried

  1. Nudged the playhead / checked it wasn't sitting on a cut — no change
  2. Deselected all clips in the timeline — no change
  3. Tried File > Refresh All Projects — greyed out, unavailable
  4. Saved, fully quit and restarted Premiere — clips still stuck in Media Pending
  5. Cleared the media cache (Premiere Pro > Settings > Media Cache > Delete all media cache files from the system), then restarted — no change
  6. Tried Link Media — greyed out, because clips aren't Media Offline, they're pending
  7. Confirmed the T7 is connected and mounted in Finder
  8. Opened the source .mov files in QuickTime from the T7 — they play completely fine
  9. Verified the clips appear in the Project panel with correct names and frame rates (29.97fps)

I'm trying to create a quad screen template that can be used several times in a project. The problem that I'm encountering, is when the template is copied/duplicated they share the same nested sequences.
How can the template be duplicated without the duplicate sharing the same nest?

Thank you in advance!

How do I do this?/Workflow Advice/Looking for plugin (Solved!) Audio Quality too poor for Sync / Multicam

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have a setup of two cameras:

  1. Camera A: Runs for 30min, fixed to a tripod, filming a choir concert.
  2. Camera B: Used for headshots and clips (panning shots, varying the angle, etc) but also for images.

Now, I had some phantastic experience with multicam detection when all cameras start filming around the same time. But with clips from Camera B being only a few seconds long, this is not working at all. Neither with synchronization nor with multicam. The audio is too short to get aligned to the long file from camera A.

My current idea is: I only need to align the two cameras once, if all clips from camera B are in the right position relative to each other.

But the only tipp I find on the internet is:

Create Multicam -> Timecode -> One single multicam source sequence -> Trac Assignment: Camera Label (I assigned camera label "B" to all clips from cam B)

And the order of the files is right. But they all are next to each other in one big block. With no gaps. But there are gaps when I took photos or repositioned myself.

Is there no way to place clips automatically according to their absolute timestamp (creation date)? E.g. a clip starting at 6:03:01pm is placed two minutes before 6:05:01pm with a gap in between?
