There are two main reasons to use script integration while working with Avid Media Composer.
- To be able to find dialogue using the find feature
- To edit to the timeline directly from the script
To be able to find dialog using the find feature
After you have integrated your script into Media Composer, Choose Find from the Edit menu |
|
| Choose the Script Text Tab from the Find dialog box |
|
| Type in the word you're looking for and click the Find button |
|
All the instances of that word will appear below in the find dialog box below.
Double click on one of these... |
|
| |
| Now, it should look like this. |
|
Open your script (here we're using word) |
|
| Choose View > Ruler |
|
| Select All of your text (Command A) and make the margins wider and the text block skinnier. |
|
| Choose Plain Text |
|
| File > Save As... |
|
Click Save (Make sure your file name is less than 32 characters) |
|
Make sure all these settings are: Other encoding: Western (ASCii) Insert line breaks Allow character substitution End lines with CR/LF Documentation direction: Left-to-right
Click OK |
|
| Open Avid | |
| While it is loading, you should see this. |
|
| File > New > New Script... |
|
Find the plain text file you saved as.. in word Click Open |
|
| Click on the first line of dialog. It will highlight. |
|
| Shift click on the last line of audio for the clip you want to associate with that part of the script. |
|
| Drag your clip to the selected area of the script. |
|
| It is starting to look like a line script. |
|
Here's what a traditional line script looks like. It's all about coverage. The squiggles mean off-camera dialogue.
|
|
Click here...this picture shows it unclicked...if you don't click here, script sync won't work.
|
|
This pic shows it clicked. Notice how the verticle line is fatter and the box below is highlighted. |
|
Script > ScriptSync... (you can also sync the script manually without ScriptSync, but it requires more work HERE IS THAT WIKI) |
|
Choose these things... click ok |
|
| Now your script will have marks. |
|
| If you're done and you won't need ScriptSync or PhraseFind, please deactivate them. Here's the wiki. |
