Now in Beta: Paper Edit to Text-Based Editing

​@TeresaDemel,

Awesome. Playing with Build 35. I think I’d like to be able to pause the preview and resume. Currently, it stops and restarts from the beginning.

If I exit and return to paper mode, my selections are gone. Since there is a “Clear” button in paper mode, I would expect them to remain.

See my comments to Fazy25 re some possible options.

​@Fazy25,

You can cut and paste in Sequence view to rearrange. BUT, you can’t in source view - any of the functions like delete pauses etc, that would require revising the file on disk, are not allowed.  But a copy/cut is also not an option in the Paper edit mode. That would be helpful. Currently, you can just exit paper edit mode, make the move, then go back.

You can set single markers in paper edit mode, and this is useful. But you cannot set ranged markers. Ranged markers are created in the transcript by making a selection and hitting M. But doing so in paper edit mode just adds a single marker at the beginning of the last word. You can exit paper mode, make a regular selection, hit M (creates a ranged marker), hit M again (enters marker dialogue), add a comment/name. When you return to paper mode, those markers are still present.

But being able to set ranged markers in paper mode would be excellent!

Other notes:

Once you make one or more selections, there are arrows in the top right that allow you to go forward or backward to selections. To add a selection, just drag another bit. To remove one, click anywhere on the text in the selection.

Try the Text-based editing workspace if you are working on a source clip rather than a sequence. This allows the source monitor to stay in view when you preview.

Excellent feature! Is there a way we could re-organise the selections? So say you want to preview a bunch of soundbites, but not in the order it was originally shot in.
