5. Click OK.
The syncing process starts and displays a progress tracker.
6. (Option) Press Ctrl+. (period) to cancel the process after it has started.
When ScriptSync finishes, your take includes a script mark for every line of text your Avid
editing application found in the audio.
7. Check through the marks. If ScriptSync missed any, add them manually as described in
“Placing Script Marks Manually” on page 646.
Skip text before
colon ‘:’
Select this option to skip all text before the first colon in a line of text.
For example, select this option if your script uses the convention of
placing a character’s name before a colon when the character begins to
speak.
Skip lines indented
less than dialog
Select this option if action is indented less than dialog in your script. If
you select this option, type the number of characters that dialog is
indented in the Dialog Indent (characters) text box, or click the Select
Dialog button, select a line of dialog from the Script so your Avid
editing application can automatically infer the correct number of
characters, and then click OK.
Overwrite existing
marks
Select this option if the take you are syncing already contains script
marks and you want ScriptSync to update those marks.
