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.

I don't know what is going on. Somewhere in between my last shoot and now, something has happened. For one, I am no longer able to see the image on my LCD viewfinder. Pressing display does nothing. It is just showing the screen that shows all of your cameras settings. I tried anything I could think of. I attached an external monitor and got the image with no issue. Went through any monitor settings/hdmi whatever in the menus, can't find anything. If I switch to any photo modes the LCD shows the image just as it always has. Tried different lenses, really tried anything I could possibly do different, I work events, I'm no stranger to troubleshooting but I could be overlooking anything. I had been shooting a stationary set up at my home for about a week just one static shot on sticks. I was on an adapted Canon lens. Then I went to go to a shoot and I threw on my native Sigma 28-105mm, did not test the camera before leaving or anything, but then I started having the LCD issue when I started shooting. I then immediately noticed that my auto focus wasn't responding. Not the normal quick response Sony AF that I switched to this camera with, and not if I shot in photo mode (so I could see the image on the LCD) and tapped on the subject to have it focus. So naturally I'm worried it might be an issue with my lens (and I love this lens) even though I hadn't touched it in a few weeks. I get home and decide to just see if maybe it's a firmware thing. I update my body to 6.01, update the lens to v 2.0. nothing. Swap on one of my other lenses, same issue including the AF issue. Anyone have any suggestions or ever heard of anything similar?
