ScriptSync Writeup in Videography

Oliver Peters has just written an article for Videography on ScriptSync. I'm glad the word is getting out. ScriptSync is one of those features that really separates Avid from every other NLE. Typical of Peters, he did his homework and spoke with two editors using ScriptSync for network television. This pretty much sums up the goal of ScriptSync:

A process that used to takes hours has literally been reduced to minutes and is probably one of the greatest productivity gains of any new NLE feature to come along in years.

 

We know there are a lot of fans of ScriptSync out there, but we also know that we've not done a great job in getting the word out about this feature. It comes down to this: If your material is transcribed, there's almost no reason not to use ScriptSync.

I found this here www.avid.com/.../scriptsync.asp, but it looks like ScriptSync supports US English, UK English, Arabic, Dutch, German, Latin American Spanish.
