Export Transcript JSON
Exports transcript data from a clip project item as a JSON string. Because this is a pure read expression, it composes naturally with `setVar` and `writeTextFile`. For larger outputs, a common pattern is to pass this expression directly into `writeTextFile`.
Inputs
| Input | Required | Value Kind | Types | Enum Values |

item | yes | expression | reference, string | — |
Notes
- Exports transcript data from a clip project item as a JSON string.
- This is a pure read expression, so it composes naturally with
setVarandwriteTextFile. - For larger outputs, the common pattern is
writeTextFile(path, prExportTranscriptJson(...)). - In current Premiere behavior, an exported transcript can still look placeholder-like even after
HAS_TRANSCRIPThas becometrue. - If transcript content matters semantically, verify the exported JSON before treating it as ready.

Examples
Export Transcript And Reference Frame
Creates a temporary sequence from the first selected project item, waits briefly, exports transcript JSON if available, and writes one reference frame for visual verification.

Prepare Selected Clip Transcript After Sequence Placement
Creates a temporary sequence from the first selected project item, waits briefly, then exports the clip transcript JSON to a deterministic file path.

Probe Basic Transcript Readiness
Checks transcript presence for the first selected project item, exports transcript JSON when present, and logs obvious placeholder signals without pretending to certify completion.
