SpeedScriber 2.5.3 released

We’re pleased to announce that SpeedScriber 2.5.3 is now available. This update features the following changes:

  • Improved reliability of transcript editing.
  • Improved handling of ellipsis and hyphen characters when editing German language transcripts.
  • Files imported by dragging a library from Final Cut Pro can no longer be renamed since this breaks the roundtrip process that relies on clip names remaining the same.
  • When purchasing minutes on app.speedscriber.com website after clicking the Buy Minutes button in the SpeedScriber app, a warning is shown if there is a mismatch between the accounts currently in use on the app and website. This avoids unexpected assignment of purchased minutes for users who use multiple SpeedScriber accounts on the same Mac.
  • Changed method used for faster than normal speed playback to workaround a macOS 13 bug that causes incorrect spatialization of audio from multichannel source files.
  • Various minor bug fixes.

SpeedScriber 2.4.2 released

We’re pleased to announce that SpeedScriber 2.4.2 is now available. This update features important changes to allow compatibility with Final Cut Pro 10.4.9 and later:

  • Roundtripping workflow for compound/multicam/sync clips now uses clip name and event name to link items together. After sending a clip to SpeedScriber, you should not change the clip name or name of parent event, or move the clip to another event.
  • For compound/multicam/sync clips, the original clip and event names are shown in a tooltip when hovering over the file type in the Files list.
  • If a clip/event name match cannot be made when exporting transcripts back to Final Cut Pro X, you will be given the choice to relink verified files with clips in the dropped XML that contain the ‘SS Processing’ keyword.

NOTE: If you imported a compound/multicam/sync clip to SpeedScriber 2.4.1 (or earlier) using Final Cut Pro X 10.4.8 (or earlier), but are now using SpeedScriber 2.4.2 (or later) with Final Cut Pro 10.4.9 (or later), then exporting will not work automatically and you will need to relink the clip and files manually when requested.
