How to create AVID Markers from an automatic transcript

For documentary producers, it can be very important to create markers to fast-track the editing process. Postproduction and production companies can use Happy Scribe to fast-track their projects.

Creating transcripts is making the post-editing process much more efficient. However, when you have dozens if not hundreds of recording hour to transcribe it can get very expensive or time consuming.

At Happy Scribe we've looked at how we could make this process simpler. We've discussed with renown post production companies to see how the process could be improved. If you are working with Avid Media Composer, you can now auto-transcribe your interviews and directly import Avid Markers. You can now export your transcript for AVID Media Composer without any problems and in a matter of minutes.
