SyncScript Pro transcribes each camera clip individually — and automatically matches it against the screenplay. The result: keywords, color-coded titles, and captions, ready in Final Cut Pro. No manual tagging.
We're actively testing SyncScript Pro with real editors before a full release. As a newer addition to our toolset, updates and new features arrive at a slower pace than our established apps — but your feedback shapes exactly what comes next.
Per-Clip ASR · IDF Fuzzy Matching · FCP Keywords + Titles + Captions
Export FCPXML with the original clips from FCP and drop it into SyncScript.
Load PDF or TXT script. SyncScript recognizes character names, dialog lines, and scene numbers.
Each camera clip is transcribed individually — not one big audio mix. Parakeet v3 for DE/EN/FR, Apple Speech for CJK.
FCPXML back into FCP: keywords on browser clips, titles on the timeline, captions on the clip.
Your screenplay and footage never leave your Mac. Transcription and script matching run fully on-device, including the optional AI verification step. The only thing that can ever leave your device is a short diagnostic report, and only if you actively tap "Send Feedback": never your script or dialogue text.
FCP has built-in transcription. What FCP doesn't have: matching against the screenplay. SyncScript fills that gap.
SyncScript transcribes each camera clip separately — not a mixed stereo bus. Overlapping dialogue stays cleanly separated, multicam timing stays precise.
Rare words — character names, specific terms — count more in matching than common stop words. Works language-independently, including German and French.
Keywords land directly on browser clips in FCP — named after scene, character, or dialog line. Take 3 of scene 12 is instantly findable, without manual tagging.
Each character gets a unique color. Titles appear on the timeline exactly on the matched clip — as a reference for the cut.
Waveform, captions, and sentence onset markers in an embedded timeline. Matching errors can be corrected before FCP export — with magnetic snap points.
When a take starts mid-dialog (pickup shot), SyncScript automatically identifies the entry point and interpolates the missing match before it.
FCP transcribes the whole clip as a mono or stereo mix. SyncScript transcribes each camera individually — the difference between "some text" and "which mic said what and when."
FCP's transcription stops at ASR text. SyncScript matches against the screenplay and writes the result back as keywords — the actual editorial work, automated.
Embedding-based systems are trained on English and fail on German. SyncScript uses IDF anchors and semantic groups — language-independent, including DE/FR.
No cloud, no upload. Screenplays and footage stay on your Mac — even for NDA productions.
