  Speech analysis metadata problem

  Posted by Steven Mccann on March 28, 2013 at 9:29 pm

  I had a quick look through posting history, and couldn’t find anything relevant to my current problem, but apologies in advance if this has been asked before:

  I have a quite large amount of interview footage that I’m trying to use the Speech Analysis function on Premiere to transcribe. I set the first 2 hours to analyze, and came back to my machine to find that Media Encoder seemed to have completed the task. When I switched over to Premiere to check out the metadata, the speech analysis box was blank. I figured that there might be some sort of problem between the programs updating each other, so I quit out of both programs and opened Premiere first and found that nothing had changed. Then I opened M.E. and found that where it had previously reported the analysis as being done, there was no longer any record of it.

  I checked the M.E. text log and found the filepath for the metadata PRMDC file, tried to get Premiere to open it, and was given a “file format not supported”. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Is there something I’m doing wrong?

  In case it’s relevant, I’m using CS6.

  Thanks!

  did you ever find a solution?

  I have a similar issue but not quite the same. I’m using Premiere CC. I send audio to Media Encoder to analyze speech. That works fine and the text shows up in ‘Analysis Text’ metadata in Premiere BUT once I quit Premiere, this text metadata gets trashed. I noticed that Media Encoder is sending it to a hidden folder called TemporaryItems (Library/Caches/TemporaryItems).

  I’ve been trying to figure out how to output the metadata to a folder that doesn’t get trashed when you close Premiere. No luck. The speech analysis happens automatically in M.E. without giving me a chance to change the output path. I also changed the cache file directory within Premiere but to no avail. The speech-to-text metadata keeps going into this TemporaryItems folder…

  Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
