Video assetization editor

Opening a video assetization project opens this editor. It is where people confirm the lines and speakers the machine separated, and line the timing up on the waveform.

The screen#

Area Description
Top The source player
Center The waveform, with Dialogue and Captions on their own tracks
Bottom The line list — timecode, source text, and speaker on one row
Right Evidence, Segments, On-screen text, Issues

Confirming speakers#

Every row shows where its speaker stands.

State Meaning
Confirmed by a person Someone looked and decided
Machine guess Diarization output. Not review yet
Same speaker as above Carried over from the previous line
No speaker assigned Nobody stands here yet

When choosing a speaker, look In this title or Across the workspace, and narrow by name. When one person stops and another starts mid-block, use Different speaker from here.

Evidence panel#

Select a line and the Evidence for its speaker appears — voiceprint, sample count, similarity range, face keyframes, appearances elsewhere. Evidence is machine-derived, so people do not edit it.

Working the lines#

Action Description
Merge into the previous line Rejoin a line the machine split wrongly
Split the line at the caret Separate two people's words in one row. The second half has no speaker yet
Edit the source text Double-click or press Enter

Timing on the waveform#

Drag a block to move it, grab an edge to resize, double-click to edit the text.

Timecodes read in Frames or Milliseconds. Switching also changes how far ⌘← and ⌘→ nudge.

The waveform is not always drawn.

  • The source is DRM-protected, so it cannot be read from audio
  • The episode is too long to read from audio; a pipeline waveform is needed
  • Audio could not be read

Segments#

A segment boundary is where the place changes. Out of the scenes the machine found at cut points, it draws dividers only where the place changes. People then split, merge, and name the place and the action line.

On-screen text#

Text that appears on screen lives on the Captions track. Pick its kind — Name caption, Corner title, Crew comment, Sign.

A Name caption can be pushed onto the segment's speaker with Use as the speaker. Separating name captions cuts speaker work.

Filter and issues#

Combine the speaker-status and sentence-status axes to isolate lines that are done but still have no speaker.

Issues are raised as Wrong transcript, Wrong speaker, or Segment boundary. Pick the sentence first.

Shortcuts#

Esc Close the open panel

After completing#

Once the assetization project is complete the screen becomes Completed · read-only. Its results are already the source of truth, so even the waveform can no longer be edited.
