A way to use ScriptSync you might not have tried before.
I had a project recently where my client had a bunch of clips (each several minutes long), say 15 of them. Then they wanted to pull JUST the part where their product is mentioned and make a montage of those. So we’d have 15 different people saying “ProductX,ProductX,ProductX,ProductX,ProductX,ProductX,ProductX” all one on top of the other.
Rather than going through and listening to each clip individually I made a new .txt document with ProductX repeated several times, each on its own line, and imported that into the project as a New Script.
I then took each clip, laid it against the script and performed the ScriptSync. Then I simply subclipped out each mention of ProductX into a separate bin. Deleted the take from the script and added the next clip and redo the ScriptSync.
I’d guess the whole process went 3 or 4 times faster than going through each clip individually at 2x speed which is the method I probably would of used had I not tried ScriptSync.
I was really pleased with the results, and thought I’d pass it along.
Happy Holidays,

Very clever.
Of course you realize you will never get another situation that requires the same workflow. 🙁
