LOL. Yes 😉

[Oliver Peters] “When I would break down interviews in FCP 7, I would add lengthy text to each marker. Right-clicking the timeline exposed a pulldown of all the marker text in a submenu. Quite handy.”
You can still kind of do that with the timeline index, using the various marker types for different categories of notes. Would be handy if the marker text showed up in more that just the marker name though,and wrapped so no need to hover to see the complete text. Having more “notes’ fields available in list view in the browser would be nice s well…

I understand. Still not as useful in FCP 7. Plus it’s only tied to the clip itself, whereas sometimes it’s better to be tied to the sequence time.

Then I’ll skip my question about whether that old metadata was stored in some kind of database!

Can I revisit this question re transcription.
I’ve read all the posts – I have svp13.
I’m trying to convince my employer to buy vasst caption assistant.I had no idea there were programs that ‘synced’ the text phrases to the audio, even if it was a rough sync, that would still be fantastic for me.
Can I confirm I’m understanding this correctly?At the moment I
1. use machine transcription directly from an audio file (I render a high quality mp3 and use Dragon Naturally Speaking)
2. edit and make the line lengths the way I want them for importing to DVD architect pro or Vegas.
3. do the timing in one of those.
4. then, depending on what I want, I may export captions so that handbrake can burn them in, or burn them in via titles @ text using Vegas, or burn a dvd with closed captions via dvd architect.I know vasst will import the text and choose the line breaks itself. This is not using any kind of sound/sync is it? I presume it’s using some kind of english rules to find where to break mid-sentence?
Anyway, is there a quicker step here? Maybe after I’ve edited the transcript, can some program to a quick rough sync and then I edit that?
Where is the best place to get advice/training on the best workflow for a one-person post-production captioning job? I’m currently trial-ing Caption Maker – does that import using some kind of sound/sync option? I can’t tell from the trial version.
thanks.

If you are referring to VASST Caption Assistant, it is not doing any audio sync. It is a tool for you to drop the captions in the right place as you watch the video. It uses some simple English rules for suggesting initial line breaks but you can change them very easily.

Yes, I’m referring to vasst.
I thought so, but wanted to double check.
I think I prefer to put the line breaks where I want them, in the original transcript.
thanks for you rreply.
I keep requesting your product but they keep saying no.
fingers crossed! -
this is the very best transcription service I’ve found — ridiculously inexpensive and very accurate https://www.trint.com we use it every day – nothing beats it for accuracy and price per use
