What It Is & Why It Matters

Transcript Converter is an integration that links AI-provided transcripts to Premiere Pro. Many editors face the challenge of this application only working with a small set of languages. With Transcript Converter, you can:

• Import high-quality transcripts using OpenAI Whisper, Google Chirp, ElevenLabs or AssemblyAI
• Convert ‘raw’ JSON transcript files so they work as text-based editing transcripts in Premiere Pro.
• Ensure every word is in sync with your playhead so you can edit with precision.

Why it improves your workflow:

• Large transcripts are split into manageable sections for editing.
• Timed transcripts with speaker identification save you many hours of tedious work.
• Export high-quality Word Documents with timing and speaker ID information for translation or client approval

Example: You are editing a video of an interview in Persian and you want to cut the audio however Premiere Pro cannot search or edit any Persian text. Not so with Transcript Converter! You’ll be able to instantly search and cut your transcript with precision - it’ll be like magic!
