I'm echoing a post here, which was requested to go into Feature Requests:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=176008Premiere Pro has the editing by text feature in beta. I've been looking around for this for a couple of years now.
I edit a lot of long interviews with often long-winded subjects.
My current workflow involves paying for automated transcription, printing it, marking it up with a highlighter, making notes, then finding those clips by timecode, labeling them with subtitles, and cutting narratives from those fragments.
While I'm open to process suggestions, Premiere's feature would be amazing. I'd pay extra for it to be able to edit by text. I could cut narratives much more quickly, and when a client says, "Do you remember when Joe said something about A.I?", I could easily accommodate their change request.
Please consider adding this. Thank you!
