[Andy Field] “i know on line it syncs to the video you uploaded”

SpeedScriber does that as well. I don’t want anyone to have the impression it doesn’t sync to the video you upload.

Thinking out load that if FCPX ever supported .srt or any other caption format, especially on a source clip bases, that would be viable.

[Andy Field] “Used to (try to) Use the transcription function in earlier versions of Premiere and it was hit or miss (mostly miss)”

I don’t doubt that was one of the motivators for Digital Heaven to enter into this market.

SpeedScriber will be compatible with Premiere Pro though (just not FCPX).

Does Trint have any means to sync to clips in an NLE?

Smartphones and tablets are travel friendly.

[Glenn Payne] “Nonetheless the final file looks perfect on my system.”

What is doing the “looking” may be critical. You may want to check in the free version of Telestream Switch and check in its Inspector. Some players tend to “correct” for pixel aspect ratio issues and the like.

Keep in mind every single word needs to point to a specific spot on the clip. So it seems something like Avid ScriptSync can’t work at the moment in FCPX. Or, as I was hoping for, at least each sentence.

[Craig Seeman]

FCPX the problem here is that despite all the metadata goodness in FCPX, searching for time-based metadata is currently flawed. If we export each transcribed sentence as a marker, then you can’t search for a word in FCP and see where the word is. All it does is show a list of collapsed clips. And when you click the disclosure triangle on a clip, it still doesn’t show you which marker contains the search text!

See attached images.

I’ve made this major limitation known to Apple… so hopefully they will address it in a future relase and we’ll then be happy to support FCPX.

[Craig Seeman]

Apparently not.
Martin posted screenshots showing me what happens. It doesn’t point to the specific point in the source clip.

[Craig Seeman]

Initially will be Premiere Pro compatible only as linking text time to video won’t work in FCPX due to an issue on Apple’s side.

[Craig Seeman]

It’s possible the camera is looking for metadata that it records with files and used for internal playback. There may be no easy way to duplicate that.

Personally I think you should look in another direction. It’s easy to encode an import files into Apple or Android devices for playback either wired or wireless to a TV. That would be a more conventional and easier route to go.

Contact Sorenson. It doesn’t make sense.
