Navigating within the Transcript

When you play back a master clip or subclip in the Asset Editor's Media Viewer or position the playhead in the Asset Editor's timeline, text in the Transcript tab will closely follow the spoken word in the clip.

Note the following when navigating the transcript:

• If the Sync Playhead toggle button is selected (blue button, default), during playback in the Asset Editor's Media Viewer or when you position the playhead in the timeline, the corresponding word is highlighted in green in the Transcript tab.

  Vice versa, when you select a section in the Transcript tab, the playhead in the Asset Editor's Media Viewer is positioned to the corresponding timecode.

• If the Sync Playhead toggle button is deselected (gray), during playback in the Asset Editor's Media Viewer, corresponding words are not highlighted in the Transcript tab. Selecting a section in the Transcript area does not move the playhead in the Asset Editor's Media Viewer.

• When you enable the Edit Mode button to edit the transcript, Sync Playhead is deactivated.

To navigate the transcript:

1. Open an asset in the Asset Editor.

2. Open the Transcript tab.

3. (optional) Click the Orientation menu in the Asset Editor toolbar and select the dual column view.

4. Select the transcript which you want to view from the transcript selection control.

5. To navigate with enabled synchronization:

   1. (if inactive) Activate the Sync Playhead button.

   2. Start playback or move the playhead in the timeline.

      • The currently spoken word is highlighted in green in the Transcript tab, its segment is highlighted in gray. While playback continues, playhead and highlighting update in tandem, the Transcript tab scrolls down the list of transcript segments.

        

      • When the position is between two words, the left word in the Transcript tab is highlighted.

      • When two words share the same timecode, both words are highlighted in green in the Transcript tab.

      • When the position is between two segments (gap), the left segment is highlighted in the Transcript tab.

   3. Click on a segment in the Transcript tab.

      The first word is highlighted in green and the playhead is moved to the corresponding timecode in the timeline.

      

   4. Click on a word in the Transcript tab.

      The word is highlighted in light green and the playhead is moved to the corresponding timecode in the timeline.

      

6. To navigate with disabled synchronization

   1. Deactivate the Sync Playhead button so it turns gray.

   2. Start playback or move the playhead in the timeline.

      Neither words nor segments are highlighted in the Transcript tab.

   3. Click on a segment or word in the Transcript tab.

      Neither the video in the Asset Editor nor the playhead in the timeline is updated.
