Re: [Avid-L2] Re: ScriptSync & v5

Yeah, when I'm working on productions that allow me to digitise my own footage (which I'm a big fan of, and can't understand why some of my peers see as being beneath them... It's the best way to get acquainted with your footage, surely), and no transcriptions are being made, then I'll use red green and blue locators to transcribe as I digitise. I mark the start of a statement with a red marker, then I keep tapping away on the blues as I go, loosely paraphrasing what's being said, then at each out opportunity I mark a green (I know it might seem strange to start with red and green for stop, but it's just what I got used to).

It's a great wee system, and I've been doing it for years. Then I use the locators window to search for keywords, and if it's a huge pile of footage then I'll make some PDF's, which I or the director can search.

But you just can't beat ScriptSync.
