The transcript follows the language you watch

Applies to 0.11Updated 6 Nov 20262 min read

Each language in a sequence keeps its own transcript. Choose a language beside the timecode and the Transcript shows that language. Nothing is saved over another language.

A sequence with several languages keeps one transcript per language, saved with the project. Choose a language in the language menu beside the timecode and the Transcript shows that language's words. Choose the first language again and its transcription comes back exactly as it was transcribed. This works for every language.

Where the words come from

• The transcript kept for that language, if there is one: a transcription, an SRT, or your edit of the text.
• Otherwise the words are read from that language's captions on the timeline, such as translated captions.
• No captions and no transcript for that language yet: the transcript stays as it is, and the yellow line says to transcribe that language.

Load an SRT in another language

An SRT in another language becomes that language's transcript, and its captions go on that language's track. Your other transcript stays as it was. The message says so, for example: "It is kept as the Russian transcript: choose Russian in the language menu beside the timecode to see it; the English transcript is unchanged." More: Import and export SRT and VTT captions.

Good to know

• The Shorts list is not cleared when you switch language. Run Find Shorts again while watching the other language to cut shorts on its sentences.
• Sequences reviewed in the narration editor keep one transcript inside the sequence, as before.
• Adding a second language to a sequence is part of Pro. See Several languages in one video.
