Equivalent to Start Stop transcription software?

[Steven Gonzales]

At dvcreators there’s a cool free utility called qt-movie-notetaker. When you pause the quicktime, it stamps the timecode and let’s you write a text entry.

Maybe that can do what you need.

Steven,

From trying it out and reading their website, I think this free version only stamps the time into the movie, starting at 0. It doesn’t read the actual timecode. Looks like they’re going to offer a pro version that will read smpte at some future time.

Some of the logging and cataloging software will do the job. CatDV has a “Verbatim Logger” function that allows one key capture of timecode from a movie file within a text box. You could import a transcript or type as you go. HD Log may have a similar function, I’m not sure.

David, Steven,

Seems like Digital Heaven’s MovieLogger can also be used to create a transcript from a quicktime file, reading smpte timecode. Not sure how it compares to Verbatim Logger in CatDV.
