Usage

Q. How can I change the interface language?

The language setting is located in the [Menu] in the side menu.

Q. I added subtitles for different speakers, but only one caption track is activated at a time.

Adobe Premiere Pro's caption track only supports one active track. Upgrade caption track to graphic captions to show multiple captions. (See the next Q&A)

Q. I want to add subtitles as graphic captions instead of Premiere Pro caption tracks.

First, add the subtitles as Premiere Pro captions using Cutback. Then in Premiere Pro, drag the desired subtitles. After that, use the [Graphics and Titles] > [Upgrade Caption to Graphics] feature in the Premiere Pro menu to convert them to graphic captions.

Q. How do I mark in and out points?

On the sequence timeline, click the start point and press the 'i' key, then click the end point and press the 'o' key to mark them.

Q. I want to keep some silence gaps after using Silence Remover.

When removing silences, use the "separate" option instead of "delete". This will move clips detected as silences to another track. You can then select the clips you want to remove and use the alt+del (Windows) or opt+del (Mac) shortcut to delete them and ripple the timeline.

Troubleshooting

Q. I'm seeing a white screen with the message "ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED” or “ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT”

If you have a firewall or antivirus running, please add Cutback and the https://static.cutback.video domain as exceptions, or try disabling them temporarily. If the issue persists, please contact our customer service through chat.

Q. When adding subtitles or removing gaps,
I get an error: "A low-level exception occurred in: Waveform audio".

This happens when Premiere fails to render the audio file, which Cutback needs for subtitle or gap recognition. Try removing any effects on the audio track. If it still doesn't work, go to Cutback's home screen, then [Settings] > [Subtitles] > [Audio Extraction Format] and change it to AAC, then try again.

Q. When transcribing or removing silences, the audio stucks at 0%

Delete all effects applied on audio clips and try again.
