Sync

Speed & Efficiency All-in-one

Partnering with Automatic Sync Technologies (AST), we have created a new workflow to get users into the studio faster and more efficiently for dubbing.

Guide to set-up Automatic-Sync

 

This guide helps users to sign-up and explore new technology which delivers best in class “word by word Sync” for accurate use in VoiceQ. 

 

This builds on our current Auto-sync tool which can be constrained if the audio and text are not imported in the correct way and/or format.

 

VoiceQ Navigator enables to import of generic word level timing files (.vqsync). Users can import scripts without time-code and then edit them in VoiceQ.

​

Pricing ranges between $1.40 - $3.95 per minute of media based on​

  • Type of Project: Captioning Only (Have transcript), Transcript Only, Captioning and Transcription (need transcript), and Production Transcripts ​

  • Expected turnaround time; 1 hour to 4 days​​

We are interested to get you feedback on  :

 

  1. Overall user experience

  2. Ease of implementation

  3. Workflow performance compared to current workflow

  4. Other types of scripts we should support

  5. Miscellaneous.

 

Using the CaptionSync file with VoiceQ:

 

  1. Open VoiceQ and create a new project

  2. Import your media file and set you start time accordingly

  3. Import your script file (non-timed file)

  4. Navigate to File>Export>Export for Sync Analysis…

  5. Save the files and save your project.

 

Complete the section below and create a word timing file then head back to VoiceQ.

 

Drag and drop your VoiceQ Sync file (.vqsync) file and edit any timings that are incorrect.

 

You should now have a synced project to use and would have saved hours of manual work.
