How to convert TXT to Premiere JSON

Convert a timestamped TXT transcript — from Rev, Otter, Descript, or Word — into Premiere Pro static transcript JSON. CutConvert maps your speakers and timings into the exact format the Premiere Text panel imports, so you can edit by transcript and build captions faster.

  1. Add your transcript

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

  2. Convert TXT to Premiere JSON

    Press Convert. CutConvert preserves speaker turns and word-level timing as it builds the JSON.

  3. Download your result

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

TXT transcript and Premiere JSON, explained

Premiere Pro's text-based editing reads a specific transcript JSON. Paste exports from your transcription service and get a Premiere-ready file — no copy-pasting into the Text panel by hand.

Turn timestamped text transcripts into Premiere Pro transcript JSON with speaker records and word-level timing. It is free to start, runs in your browser, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

Why editors trust it

Secure by default

Files are encrypted in transit, converted on managed infrastructure, and never sold or shared.

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, Avid TXT to SRT, TXT and DOCX/DOC-style transcripts to Premiere Pro transcript JSON, and SRT to Avid Media Composer caption TXT or Premiere Pro transcript JSON. 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.
