Transcribe audio in CS4 Greyed out
I am trying to transcribe the audio of video clips that I have captured using the Matrox rtx100, but the transcribe button in the metadata window is greyed out. Does premiere not recognize certain codecs when it comes to transcribing? I have countless hours of video to work with so file conversion at this point is not an option. Any thoughts/suggestions are very much welcome and appreciated. This is the second time I have posted this but the first seems to have disappeared so I apologize if you have already read/answered.
Thanks,

Same problem – seems that transcription does not work on P2 .mfx files.

Same issues here, working with .mts files from my Canon HF10.

I am not able to confirm this with experience but I have read some time ago that the folder structure of P2, mxf, (folder structure based) recording formats are locked and don’t allow for file writing = no ability to use the transcribe function.
Switch the folder and file permissions and it should allow it.

Transcribe was greyed out for me too, for an .aif file.
To transcribe I selected the file in the project window, went to the Clip menu>Audio options>Extract audio. Not sure what that does for a file that is already audio. This created a new file with a .mov suffix. With this new file I was able to choose Transcribe to text. Then the text will appear in the metadata tab, albeit not very accurate.
