Clip Lists for Synchronized Transcripts

If you need to create many individual clips from the same synchronized transcript, using a clip list can save you time when compared to typing each clip individually into the Quick Clip field of the media player.

A clip list is a plain text file that contains a list of the clips that you want to create from a synchronized transcript. You can create a clip list by using any text editor, such as Notepad. After you create a clip list file, you can use Sanction to import it, which will create the clips.

hmtoggle_plus1To create the clip list file
1.Read over the transcript to identify the page and line numbers where you want each clip to start and end.
2.Open a plain text editor, such as Notepad.
3.For each clip you want to create, type the page and line number for the start of the clip followed by the page and line number for the end of the clip, using the following format:

Pg:Ln-Pg:Ln

For example, the following would create 2 individual clips: 

4:14-4:17

5:2-6:20

The first clip would start on page 4, line 14 and end on page 4, line 17. The second clip would start on page 5, line 2, and end on page 6, line 20.

4.After each page and line range add a hard return. 
5.Save the file.
6.Use Sanction to import the file. The import process is described in the next procedure of this topic.
