Timecode and EDL about autoedit_2 HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi Jacquelyn,
Thanks for reaching out.

Transcriptions time-codes preview in autoEdit

autoEdit uses 'running time' instead of the 'actual time-code' only when displaying the transcription to make it easier to keep words and video or audio in sync. Clicking on the words in the transcription view will take you to that point in the media.

As you noticed in info it shows you the 'actual time-code' it reads from the original media source, so that it can create an EDL that uses those time-codes, that can re-connect to the original media file.

Opening EDL in video editing softwate

When opening EDL in video editing software. The media is generally offline, you then need to reconnect it to the original source.

More details on this process in the user manual, and you'd have to see how that is done in Avid. here is a gif of what looks like in Premiere, I'd expect it be similar principle, but probably different menu system.

Speaker diarization

This is something that is on the roadmap, as both Watson and Speechmatics have added support for it. I haven't integrated it yet, because it needed figuring out how do you edit the speakers name and how do you allow users to adjust paragraphs if the recognition fails, in case the recognition is not as good as advertised.

Nonetheless as of version 1.0.8 (current latest version is1.0.9) it is possible to change the name of the speaker at the top of the transcription.

• You just click on the Unnamed Speaker
• Edit the text
• And it auto saves

see screenshot below.

As I though this might help when using the paper-editing feature.

Hope this helps for now, let me know if any of that is not clear, and if you have got any questions.

@jsdephillips any chance you could upload the EDL here?

I might be able to identify the issue by looking a the file autoEdit generated.

I might also be able to help if you can provide a bit more details on the workflow you followed.

For example, what camera did you use? and what file type did you upload into autoEdit? Was that the raw footage from the camcorder or you transcoded it first?

Thanks @jsdephillips, Not a problem, whenever is most convenient for you.
