Searching Dialogue in Script Schema
Project: A feature length documentary film that has 28 interviews spanning over the course of at least 30 hours.
Goal: To be able to search through my footage by key words/phrases that reoccur across multiple interviews.
What I thought would work was to use Adobe Story to embed my transcripts into the clip metadata. The Script Schema seems to have everything I would want; Scene Setting, Time of Day, Action, & Dialogue. When embedding a transcript from Adobe Story it auto completes this section with all of the appropriate information, but then when choosing what metadata displays in the bins there is no option for the Dialogue field. I also tried searching the Dialogue using the Ctrl/Cmd+F function, and while "Dialogue" does appear in the dropdown choices, the program does not actually search the information.
This means that each clip individually has dialogue metadata, but without being able to view it in the bins, the keyword search-ability concept is completely gone. It just seems silly to me that if you put the transcription where it is seemingly meant to go, you have no ability to search through it across clips -- which I feel is a huge aspect to having metadata in the first place.
So I am not sure if this is a bug or maybe I'm just missing something here? Is there a different way to search metadata across clips that I'm unaware of, not understanding or not implementing properly?
And if this is just an issue with the Script Schema, how do others overcome this barrier? The concept of searching your footage by word or phrase is not foreign, as Avid implements it very nicely. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to implement my transcripts into my workflows?
Thanks in advance!
