First of all THANK YOU SO MUCH devs for this feature. What you have done here is an absolute dream for me, and makes my life so much easier. I have thousands of hours of video that I can now happily transcode without having to type it by hand. Thank you so much!! I can finally begin this video project that I have been putting off for years.

My goal is to create searchable databases of the speech in my videos, so it would be really helpful for me if there were an option to include the timestamps in the text files. I just mean the 00:18:17:05 - 00:18:19:02 numbers that are to the left of the transcriptions in the Transcript panel.

Then I could search for words, and see exactly where to go in the video to find those words. That would make this complex project I have in mind possible.

Thank you again, I really appreciate your hard work, I love it so much!

Thank you again,
AJ <3

Right now it's a little clunky and difficult to editor captions/transcripts.

First, if I try to edit the transcript, the field box is constrained and doesn't allow me to expand the dimensions of the box. So if I want to make a change to the text, I need to click inside the box and press the down arrow button several times to get to where I want to be (and to be able to see it).

The other issue is that I can't change transcripts/captions on the fly. I have to make several clicks to stop the video, go in and click in the text field, make the change in the text, click out of it and hit play to keep going. It would be great to have less clicks to be able to just hit stop or play and change the text without having to click in several places.

We want to be able to add gradients, scene features, and apply multiple shadows to text (as with legacy titles).

It is inevitable that legacy titles will disappear someday.
However, we want at least the features equivalent to legacy titles to be included in Essential Graphics.
For that purpose, I want to be able to add a gradient scene function and apply multiple shadows.
The Essential Graphics text tool has evolved significantly with the April 2019 update. Especially in Japan, joy was raised. Later, if you evolve a little more, it will create great value in the Japanese video production world.

エッセンシャルグラフィックステキストツールの充実

私たちはテキストに対して、グラデーションやシーン機能の追加、シャドウの複数適用ができるようになってほしい（レガシータイトルができていたように）。

レガシータイトルがいつかなくなってしまうのは仕方がない。
しかし、少なくともレガシータイトルと同等の機能が、エッセンシャルグラフィックスに搭載されてからにして欲しい。
そのためにも、グラデーション・シーン機能の追加、そしてシャドウの複数適用ができるようになって欲しい。
エッセンシャルグラフィックスのテキストツールは、2019年4月のアップデートで大きく進化した。特に日本では喜びの声が上がった。後もう少し、進化をしてくれると日本の映像制作世界の中で大きな価値を生み出すでしょう。

The transcript and caption functionality are real time savers, but could use some improvement for a better subtitling workflow.

1) From the Transcript window you can split speakers, but Premiere doesn't use this information when creating the captions. It will often put lines from 2 different speakers together in one caption, which isn't great for subtitle purposes. It will also leave a large time gap in order to do this. For example somewhat might say "Oh." and then several seconds later another person will say "What do you think." Premiere will create a caption that says "Oh, what", and then "do you think."

2) When manually editing with the Captions window open, clicking on the caption in the timeline should shift focus and allow immediate editing of the caption with no additional clicks. So when I click on a title and the caption window is open, Premiere should switch focus to the caption window and be ready to accept typing input from the keyboard.

3) When using transcript data, Premiere knows when a word is spoken. Splitting a caption in the timeline should cause the text to be split appropriately, so that if someone says "I am going to the store" and I split the caption after the person says "going" it should create 2 titles with one being "I am going" and another being "to the store" rather than creating 2 full copies of the caption.

4) The auto scrolling animation in the caption window is too time consuming. It slows down the workflow. The caption window should simply snap to the selected caption.

5) Please add an option for the transcript to transcribe words like "uh", some people prefer to have these in their subtitles.

6) Allow the transcription tool to accept a script as input for better context, resulting in a more accurate transcription.

Thank you for this tool! I look forward to future refinements.

In previous versions of Premiere Pro, you were able to modify the resolution of the caption/SRT file in order to be able to stretch the captions to the edge. This is especially needed for certain social media video formats because it allows for more characters, which is often needed in 1:1 and 4:5 formats.

Now, however, it is not possible to modify the captions file anymore (I usually import an SRT file), and it's therefore not possible to edge-pan the caption track.

Can you please add an option so the captions are able to be stretched all the way to the edge of the frame?

Our Premiere Pro users make use of the Transcribe sequence feature in Premiere (v15.4.1) but they find that when working from home and using our VPN connection to access internal resources, the Transcribe button is greyed out. When hovering over the button the error tooltip states 'User not approved for cloud transcription usage. Please check again'. Thefeature DOES work if only connected to the internet (say user's home network) but when the VPN is connected, no dice.

We've tested this with a number of users and they all have the same result. My first thought was to bring this up with the vendor of our VPN, but they couldn't spot any blocks. I thought I'd better bring this up with the Adobe community to see if anyone knows why this might happen.

Thanks & Regards,

Imagine if every time you started a new Pr project, the Project window came pre-populated with intelligent Bins that automatically sort and organize media you import or create within Pr… Imagine all of your titles automatically going into a ‘Titles’ Bin and all of your nests appearing in a ‘Nests’ Bin rather than just randomly appearing all over the Project window. Imagine if you could spend more time actually editing and less time on menial tasks such as manually dragging files into relevant Bins to keep your project organized.

Thankfully, this already IS possible! One of the great features in Pr’s #1 plugin, Excalibur (https://knightsoftheeditingtable.com/excalibur), is the ability to have nests automatically appear in a ‘Nested Clips’ Bin. This Bin can be renamed and moved and the automatic connection remains. Unfortunately, Excalibur can’t organize all media types due to limitations with what 3rd party plugins can do.

This is where Adobe comes in. Please see the illustration to understand how a new ‘Smart Bins’ tab in the Preferences window could work.

A few things to point out:
1. Not all users will want all of their assets automatically organized. That is why my proposed solution would allow users to enable automatic sorting on an asset per asset basis. Should a user not want any automatic sorting whatsoever, they could easily turn it off completely.
2. Users could create sub-Bins inside of Smart Bins. For example, an ‘Audio’ Smart Bin could have 3 sub-Bins for ‘Music’, ‘SoundFX’ and ‘Voice Overs’. Any audio files automatically collected by the Audio Smart Bin would appear into that Bin’s root level. If a user later wants to move assets into one of the sub-Bins, or even outside the Smart Bin altogether, they would be free to do so.
3. If a user drags media directly into a Project window Bin to import it, it would appear in that Bin, disregarding any Smart Bin asset associations. Dragging media into the Project window’s root level however would automatically sort any media with an associated Smart Bin.
4. Smart Bins would be easy to recognize in the Project window since each one would have a user definable Label.
5. A single Smart Bin could collect 2 or more asset types. This would be handy, for example, to gather all titles (Source Graphics and Legacy Titler titles) or all video files (both with and without audio) into a single Bin.
6. Search Bins are NOT a substitute for Smart Bins! Search Bins don’t collect any files and therefore don’t help keep the Project window organized. Search Bins also can’t be automatically created with every new Pr project.
7. Humans have the technology to fly a drone on Mars. Isn’t it time we saw a little more intelligent tools in Premiere Pro to eliminate tedious tasks that could easily be automated?!

Smart Bins would help virtually all editors, so hopefully this idea gets attention before Adobe introduces any more niche tools that only serve some editors.

Like this idea? Want to save editing time? Then remember to participate by commenting and voting!

If Legacy title tool is going away, please add it's functionality to the essential graphics panel. I'm a very avid user of the legacy title tool and I find that I'm infinitely more proficient and efficient when using the legacy title tool vs the essential graphics panel.

If adobe is going to force us users to switch to the Essential graphics panel in future updates, I would great appreciate some of the key functionality of the legacy title tool being implemented into the essential graphics tool.

Specific features:
- In Legacy Titler (LT), the user has a line tool to create a very simple line either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Essential graphics only gives us the option of a rectangle which you have to then approximate into a line if you need a line. Also LT gives us the ability to control the width/weight of the line with a number, making it even easier to create said line.
- in the same idea, LT gives us shape tools like the circle tool which we can use to create a perfect circle by holding down the shift key while clicking and dragging. Essential graphics has an ellipse but when it is selected, the shape isn't a perfect circle and theres no easy way that I can find to make it a perfect circle.
- Alt+Click and drag to duplicate. In LT, you can click on a shape, line or text while holding the Alt key and duplicate that item. Essential graphics does not have this functionality.
- Inner/Outer stroke: In LT, the user can choose to create a stroke on the outside of an object or the inside. The outer stroke creates a rounded edge on sharp corners. In the Essential graphics, the stroke option seems to only limit the user to an inner stroke which creates a very sharp corner and may not always be the desired choice.
- LT has the "*****" parameter for text, which is very useful. I cannot find the same parameter in the Essential graphics panel.
- Fill options: LT gives us the ability to choose bevels, gradients, solid and eliminate fills while Essential graphics seems to only give us the option of a solid fill or no fill. Those extra options could be necessary to someone.
- Back to the shape options, the Pen tool is present in LT while it is not an option in the Essential graphics.

I hope someone from adobe sees this and at least considers the idea. I'm sure I'm not alone in this need for these features to be available in Premiere. As it stands, I'm simply unable to get the same results with Essential Graphics that I can easily achieve in LT.
