Join Ashley Kennedy for an in-depth discussion in this video Manually syncing a script, part of Avid Media Composer: Documentary Editing.
If you watched the last movie, you saw how incredibly fast it is to automatically sync…your master clips to your script using the power of ScriptSync.…However, if ScriptSync's $1,000 price tag is too high, or if you need to correct a couple…of sync marks from a ScriptSync script, then you'll need to learn the manual way.…Let's take a look.…So I am going to open up my keyboard, and I am just going to go to Settings and Keyboard…and then I am going to press Command+3 to open up the Command palette.…
What we need to do is map the Add Script Mark button to our keyboard.…So that's contained in the other tab, and here's the Add Script Mark button.…We want a button to button Reassignment.…I am just going to map this to Shift+S for Script Mark.…So I am just going to drag this over, and you can map it anywhere you like.…And I have my script right here, and I've already kind of attached the master clips to it.…
It doesn't have the Script Marks yet, but I am going to do that the manual way.…So I'm just going to load this into the source monitor.…
