Premiere Transcript to Text FAQ

Why can't I just open a .prtranscript in a text editor?

A saved .prtranscript is Premiere's binary transcript export, not text. Opening or renaming it won't give you readable words. This converter decodes the file and returns the full dialogue as a readable transcript.

Are speaker labels preserved?

Yes. The converter keeps speaker labels whenever the transcript has them, so the output reads as a transcript with speaker turns. Timecodes are stripped.

Does the output include timecodes?

No. You get the full dialogue with speaker labels and no timecodes. For timed output, convert the transcript to captions instead.

What if I want subtitles instead of plain text?

Use the Premiere transcript to SRT converter at /prtranscript/srt. It turns the same transcript into timed SRT subtitles you can use anywhere.

What does it cost?

Free to start. Guests get 5 conversions a month, up to 500 KB per file. A free account has no monthly cap within the free size caps and converts up to 100 files per batch. Pro is $9 a month for 100 conversions of files up to 50 MB.
