A video editor for large productions. Supported editions can search dialogue in footage and align shots with the script.
Search for spoken words
When a project contains dozens of takes, file numbers rarely tell you where a line was spoken. PhraseFind AI indexes speech in the source footage so an editor can search for words and open matching clips. ScriptSync AI uses dialogue analysis to match footage to script text. These functions are especially useful when an alternate take is in another batch of footage.
Two takes of one line
Let's present a training video about the exhibition. In some takes, the hero calls the hall, in others indicates the entrance to the courtyard. Find both options by keywords and listen to neighboring phrases. If a search misses one title, try a shorter snippet of spoken text. Then check the clips found in the project and compare the pauses, the position of the hero and compliance with the previous plan.
Speech recognition helps you navigate, but the actual line may differ from the script. Check the recording before making the cut.
Indexing and workstation resources
Indexing uses workstation resources in a large project. Let it finish on a test bin and check how search behaves in your edition. Avid lists the editions that include PhraseFind AI. If several editors share the work, check ScriptSync AI and the process for moving project data to another workstation separately. Record which take you chose and why in the shared project.
