+# Transcribe button greyed out (2025-12-28 18:13Z)
+
+_**User (2025-12-29 06:12Z)**_
+
+why does the 'transcribe in to out' grey out the transcribe button?
+
+---
+
+_**Agent (model default, mode Agent)**_
+
+
+
+---
+
+
+The "Transcribe in point to out point only" checkbox disables the Transcribe button if no in/out points are set in the sequence. Premiere Pro needs those markers to know what range to transcribe.
+
+To fix:
+1. Set an in point (press `I` or click the in point button)
+2. Set an out point (press `O` or click the out point button)
+3. The Transcribe button should become active
+
+If you want to transcribe the entire sequence, uncheck "Transcribe in point to out point only" and the button should enable.
+
+This is a prerequisite check: the feature requires in/out points when that option is enabled.

+
+I set an in to out point in my sequence, why does it say this
+
+---
+
+_**Agent (model default, mode Agent)**_
+
+
+
+---
+
+
+The error "The in out points set are invalid. Please ensure that in and out points lie within the sequence bounds" usually means:
+
+1. **In/out points are outside the sequence bounds** — The in point is before the sequence start, or the out point is after the sequence end.
+2. **In point is after the out point** — They’re reversed.
+3. **Points are set on a different timeline** — They’re on a different sequence or the source monitor instead of the Program Monitor/Timeline.
+
+**To fix this:**
+- Make sure the sequence is active (click in the Timeline panel).
+- Set the in point (`I`) after the sequence start.
+- Set the out point (`O`) before the sequence end.
+- Ensure the in point comes before the out point.
+- If you set points in the Source Monitor, set them in the Timeline/Program Monitor instead.
+
+**Quick check:**
+- Look at the Timeline ruler: the in/out markers should be within the sequence’s visible range.
+- If the sequence is empty or very short, ensure your points are within that range.
+
+If it still fails, try clearing the in/out points (`Ctrl+Shift+X` or `Cmd+Shift+X`) and set them again directly in the Timeline.

+
+shift ctrl O normally clears out point. now, it just causes my cursor to do a brief loading icon. any conflicting hotkeys? I have powertoys installed, but it's not currently running.

+`Ctrl+Shift+O` is being intercepted by another app or Windows. Checking what might be capturing it:

+
+Likely causes for `Ctrl+Shift+O` being intercepted:
+
+1. **PowerToys may still be active** — Even if not running, some modules can persist. Check:
+   - Task Manager → look for `PowerToys.*.exe` processes
+   - PowerToys Settings → Keyboard Manager → check if `Ctrl+Shift+O` is remapped
+
+2. **Windows shortcuts** — `Ctrl+Shift+O` can open bookmarks in some browsers or trigger other system actions.
+
+3. **Other software** — Check for:
+   - Screen recording/streaming software (OBS, Streamlabs, etc.)
+   - Gaming overlays (Discord, Steam, NVIDIA, etc.)
+   - Clipboard managers
+   - Other Adobe apps running
+
+**Quick fixes:**
+- **In Premiere Pro**: Edit → Keyboard Shortcuts → search for "Clear Out Point" and verify the shortcut is still assigned, or reassign it.
+- **Temporary workaround**: Right-click the Timeline ruler → Clear Out Point, or use the button in the Program Monitor.
+- **Check what's intercepting**: Use a tool like [SharpKeys](https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys) or Windows' built-in shortcut checker to see what's capturing the key combo.
+
+**To test**: Try `Ctrl+Shift+O` in Notepad. If it does something there, another app is intercepting it globally.
+
+Should I help you check PowerToys settings or find an alternative way to clear the out point in Premiere?

+
+ah, it's global, the loading pops up in cursor,too

+
+
+Since it happens in Cursor too, it's a system-level hotkey conflict. Checking what's intercepting `Ctrl+Shift+O`:

+
+The loading cursor suggests a system-level shortcut is being processed. Even if PowerToys isn’t running, Keyboard Manager settings can persist. Check:
+
+1. **PowerToys Keyboard Manager** (most likely):
+   - Open PowerToys Settings
+   - Go to **Keyboard Manager**
+   - Click **Remap a shortcut**
+   - Look for any entry using `Ctrl+Shift+O` and remove it
+
+2. **Windows Accessibility/System shortcuts**:
+   - Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard → check for custom shortcuts
+   - Settings → System → Clipboard (some clipboard managers use this combo)
+
+3. **Browser extensions** (if a browser is open):
+   - Some extensions can capture shortcuts globally
+
+4. **Quick test**: Press `Ctrl+Shift+O` while no apps are focused (click the desktop first). If the loading still appears, it’s definitely a system-level shortcut.
+
+**Temporary workaround for Premiere**: Use the menu: **Sequence → Clear Out Point**, or right-click the Timeline ruler.
+
+Want help checking the PowerToys config file directly, or do you want to open PowerToys Settings to check Keyboard Manager?
