How to convert DOC to Premiere JSON

Convert DOCX, DOC, or Word-style timestamped transcripts into Premiere Pro static transcript JSON. CutConvert extracts the speaker labels and timecodes from your document and outputs the transcript JSON Premiere expects for text-based editing.

  1. Add your DOC/DOCX

    Drag your .docx, .doc, or transcript .txt onto the drop zone, or click to browse.

  2. Convert DOC to Premiere JSON

    Press Convert. CutConvert reads the document text and rebuilds it as Premiere transcript records.

  3. Download your result

    Download the converted file instantly, or a single ZIP archive when you convert a batch of files.

DOC and Premiere JSON, explained

Many transcription houses deliver in Microsoft Word. Instead of retyping, drop the .docx here and import the result straight into Premiere Pro for text-based editing and search.

Turn DOCX, DOC, or DOC-style transcript text into Premiere Pro transcript JSON with speaker turns kept. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

DOC to Premiere JSON FAQ

Does this work with both .docx and .doc files?

Yes. DOCX, DOC, and Word-style timestamped transcript text are all accepted. CutConvert extracts the speaker labels and timecodes from the document and rebuilds them as Premiere transcript records.

Do speaker labels survive the conversion?

Yes. Speaker turns are preserved, and the output includes the speaker and timing data Premiere expects for text-based editing.

Why would I convert a Word transcript to JSON?

Many transcription houses deliver transcripts as Microsoft Word documents, but Premiere Pro's text-based editing only imports its own static transcript JSON. Converting means you can search and edit by transcript in Premiere instead of retyping anything.

What if my transcript is a plain .txt file?

Use the TXT to Premiere JSON converter at /txt/json. It handles timestamped .txt exports from Rev, Otter, Descript, and similar services and produces the same Premiere-ready JSON.

What are the file size and batch limits?

Free to start: guests convert 5 files a month at up to 500 KB each, a free account has no monthly cap on files within the free size limit and batches up to 100 files, and paid plans start at $9/month for 100 conversions with 50 MB files.

Made for editors

Whole timelines from Premiere, Final Cut and Avid with transitions, markers, titles, keyframes, levels, nests and bins; captions that keep their italics, colour, placement and speakers across SRT, VTT, ASS, TTML, iTT, SCC and STL, any of them in, any of them out; transcripts into Premiere with the words the engine timed. Frame rates and timecode handled the way post expects.

Questions, answered

Where are my files processed?

In your browser. The converter runs on your own machine and the file never leaves it; the site only records that a conversion happened. CutConvert never sees, stores, sells or shares your media.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

About an hour of footage per file is free, on every converter: 100 KB of subtitles or captions, 500 KB of Word transcript, 2 MB of transcript JSON, 1 MB of Resolve project, 5 MB of Final Cut XML, with Premiere projects and Avid AAF a little under the hour. Guests get five conversions a month, a free account has no monthly cap within those sizes, and above that project-to-project transfers are $5 per file. Every other conversion is $3, including project files to captions, reports or cut lists, and captions or transcripts into an editor. Pro is $9 a month ($39 a year) for every file type up to 50 MB; Studio is $19 a month ($79 a year) for files up to 500 MB. Paid-file access lasts 24 hours.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you get that one file back, no ZIP. Tick extra formats under the output chips and the same ZIP carries every one of them, and a file counts as one conversion whatever it is written to.

Which formats are supported?

Timelines: Premiere .prproj, DaVinci Resolve .drp (as exported, or gzip- or Zstandard-wrapped), Avid AAF and Final Cut FCPXML in; FCP7 XML, FCPXML, Resolve .drp, CMX 3600 EDL and shot-list CSV out. A Premiere or Final Cut edit travels with its transitions, markers, titles, opacity and scale keyframes, clip volume, speed changes, nested sequences, bins, audio channel routing and each file's own frame rate, wherever the output has a place for them; an Avid AAF brings its transitions, markers, clip levels with their keyframes, muted tracks, nested stacks and each clip's own rate. Captions and transcripts, read and written: SRT, WebVTT, SBV, ASS, TTML, DFXP, iTT, SCC, MCC (a second 608 channel comes out as its own file), EBU-STL, Avid caption TXT, CapCut drafts of any size, timed CSV, Word, plain text, Whisper, WhisperX, AssemblyAI, Deepgram, Rev.ai and CapCut JSON, TwitchDownloader chat logs as a chat replay, Premiere transcript JSON and .prtranscript, Rev, Otter and Word-style transcripts, with italics, colour, placement and speakers kept where the output can hold them and measured word timing into Premiere. EDLs become event CSV reports. The capability table lists what every pair keeps.

Can I pick a frame rate?

Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output you can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, or let CutConvert auto-detect it from your source.
