Premiere transcript and plain text, explained
A saved .prtranscript is Premiere's binary transcript export, not text — so you can't just open it. This converter reads it directly and gives you the words as a plain-text transcript, keeping speaker labels when the transcript has them.
Turn a Premiere Pro .prtranscript into a clean, readable transcript — speaker labels kept, timecodes stripped. 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.
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, so opening or renaming it won't give you readable words. This converter decodes the file directly and returns the full dialogue as a clean, readable transcript.
Are speaker labels preserved?
Yes — speaker labels are kept whenever the transcript has them, so the output reads as a proper transcript with speaker turns. Timecodes are stripped.
Does the output include timecodes?
No — you get the full dialogue with speaker labels and no timecodes. If you need timed output instead, convert the transcript to captions rather than plain text.
What if I want subtitles instead of plain text?
Use the Premiere transcript to SRT converter at /prtranscript/srt, which turns the same transcript into clean, timed SRT subtitles you can use anywhere.
What does it cost?
Free to start. Guests convert up to 3 files per batch at up to 1 MB each; a free account raises that to 5 files and 30 conversions a month, and paid plans support 20 MB files and larger batches.

Questions, answered
Where are my files processed?
Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and converted on CutConvert’s servers, then handed straight back to you as a download. We never sell or share your media.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Small, everyday batches are free to convert. For large or high-volume jobs you’ll create an account and upgrade — which keeps the free tier fast for everyone.
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 simply get that one file — no unnecessary ZIP.
Which formats are supported?
You can convert EDL to CSV; SRT and VTT subtitles to each other and to plain text; SRT, TXT, and DOCX/DOC transcripts to Premiere Pro transcript JSON; SRT to Avid Media Composer caption TXT; and Premiere Pro .prtranscript exports to SRT, VTT, or text — with speaker labels preserved. More post-production formats are on the way.
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.
