Script Marks
Script marks let you synchronize individual lines of script with matching points in captured
clips. When you place a mark in the script, an IN point also appears in the clip when you load it
into a monitor for editing. This provides line-by-line control over alternative takes that the editor
can instantly load and edit into the sequence.
You can place script marks in several ways. You can:
• Place marks manually, one take at a time.
For more information, see “Placing Script Marks Manually” on page 606.
• Place marks in a playback loop in real time.
For more information, see “Using Real-Time Screening and Marking” on page 608.
• Place marks automatically using ScriptSync, if you have purchased the ScriptSync feature in
your Avid editing application.
For more information, see “Marking with ScriptSync” on page 610 and “Moving or Deleting
a Script Mark” on page 622.
Once you have created script marks, you can load and play marked segments. You can also move
or delete existing marks. For more information, see “Loading and Playing Marked Segments” on
page 622
Placing Script Marks Manually
To place script marks manually:
1. Map the Add Script Mark button from the Other tab in the Command palette to a
user-customizable palette or to the Keyboard palette.
For more information, see “Mapping User-Selectable Buttons” on page 99.
2. Double-click in the Script window at the intersection of a take and the line of dialog that you
want to mark.
The take is selected in the slate, the selected line of the dialog is highlighted, and the clip
loads into the Source monitor.
