Edit a sequence using Text-Based Editing

Last updated on Dec 14, 2023

Before you begin

As you add clips to the timeline, Adobe Premiere Pro creates a new sequence transcript. You can use this new document to edit your rough cut.

Launch Premiere Pro and create a new project.
Select the media you'd like to import and open the Text-Based Editing workspace.
In the Project panel, double-click the clips you want to transcribe.
In the Text panel, select Transcribe.
Select the Timeline panel to switch to the sequence transcript to continue editing.
In the sequence transcript, select the text and use copy or paste to move clips. Your text edits are automatically applied to the timeline.
You can also cut or delete text to remove clips from the sequence. Premiere Pro automatically applies a Ripple Edit in the Sequence.
Once you have the desired rough cut, switch to video editing tools for trimming, refining, pacing, color grading, audio sweetening, and adding titles or graphics to your cuts.
