Last updated on Mar 5, 2024

Learn how to edit transcripts while working with Text-Based Editing in Premiere Pro.

Before you begin

Transcription is required only for videos that include spoken dialogue. If you don’t need to transcribe all your source media, you can import the media normally and then transcribe specific files.

  1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a new project.
  2. Select the media you'd like to import.
  3. Open the Text-Based Editing workspace.
  4. In the Project panel, double-click the clips you want to transcribe.
  5. In the Text panel, select Transcribe.
  6. After transcribing the source clip using the Text panel, click on the three dots and select Export > Export to text file.
  7. Make the required corrections in the source text.
  8. Select Import > Import corrected transcript (txt).
Note:

You can use the built-in spell check feature or the search and replace feature to correct the spelling of uncommon words or names in Premiere Pro.The text file should only be used for correcting spelling errors. If sections are deleted, the imported file will not work.

Learn how you can also change the speaker names while using Text-Based Editing.
