Post production Script

Hi folks,
I'm trying to find Post Production script software that allows you to create a document with
all relevant dialogue, music and effects time-code references. A post production script is part of the delivery requirements...We're Low Budget.


Am also researching software that will transcribe interviews for a long form doco?
Is the Adobe story software useful and will it speak to FCP?
"Streamline your post-production workflow by using script metadata to edit more quickly in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5."
Do you think it's a worthy investment?

Thanks

Tania

You're still ahead of time, Tania-- there is no affordable transcription software just yet-- not a utility that works well, anyway. Nuance, which acquired MacSpeech, has a product adapted from it called Scribe, which I've evaluated and found severely wanting. After repeated training, it does work better, but then, you must polish it, and it's limited to six voice profiles and film interviews can range into the dozens, so that's a handicap. But it's $149.00 so one can't complain too heavily.

One method of getting your transcripts done using this product is to train it with your own voice, then convey the audio track of each interview into the system picking up the tracks on earbuds and passing each along in your voice. Worth a try.

As for a post production script? You assemble your paper cut with final selects and add the interstitial visuals, and timecode, and you have a proper script.
