How to make Transcript Clips

Watch video tutorial on YouTube.

Transcript Clips (or T-clips) can be created and edited in DOTE and DOTEbase provided you have purchased and activated the Pro or Pro Community Edition in both.

Making T-clips

1. The first step is to locate the relevant transcript that you wish to clip from.
2. Find the relevant lines to be clipped.
3. Select those lines using your mouse by dragging from the onset character/line to the offset character/line. Clips do not have to start and terminate at the beginning or end of lines.
4. Then click the CREATE CLIP button in the respective Transcript panel.
5. There are several options to fill out or select when creating the clip:

• Add Tag(s)
• Add a comment note
• Choose the styling (background/foreground colours) and visual style for the clip
• Add user-defined field names/values

1. Click CREATE and the clip will be inserted and displayed in the Transcript.
2. It will also be added to the list of clips in the current Project.

Follow the same procedure in DOTE. When the Transcript is saved, then the clip will appear in DOTEbase if that Transcript is included in the current DOTEspace. If a Transcript is open in DOTE, then T-Clips in that Transcript cannot be edited in DOTEbase. DOTE locks the Transcript for editing. If DOTE is closed or a different Transcript is opened, then the Transcript is released and can be edited again in DOTEbase.

Changing the scope of an existing T-Clip
