Editing interview footage-suggested workflow and tips to speed up the process

[Jon Barrie]

Use the metadata panel to add comments to selected clips or subclips…

Anyone else with ideas.

I scan my footage at faster than RT by holding shift and tapping L key to speed up in small increments of speed. 🙂

Most of our clients that we shoot interviews for require a paper transcript of interviews. You can either have the transcription service note the timecode, or do that yourself. Makes it easy to locate specific portions of the interview, and is a whole lot more accurate than the speech analysis function. Accurate computer based speech analysis and transcription requires much more than Adobe would be able to include in Premiere and keep the cost as it is. It also requires training to each individual voice, which the module doesn’t provide for.

Thanks, yes finding the speech analysis extremely limited.

Thanks! missed that, so you can add custom metadata to clips! Somewhat confusing in that you can also rename your clips in the sequence timeline and this doesn’t seem to be reflected in the metadata…

spoke to soon, yes you can edit metadata for footage, but I need to tag individual clips in my sequence timeline so I can later search for that specific clip. Back to using pen and paper I guess:(

Hi Jim,

There are also subclips, in combination with Metadata description fields, it works pretty well for me. I also use titles in the timeline.

Sub clips works best for me. As I’m logging the bites, I create a sub clip for everything I think I might use. I give it a short descriptive name identifying the speaker and subject – “JT – scared the heck out of me.” I’m a one-man band, meaning I’m writing the script and inserting the bites and editing the final piece, so this shorthand speeds my workflow.
