Required

GScriptLite is...

1: Launch QuickTime Player, open the movie to transcribe.
2: Launch GScript.
3: Choose menu item "File" and "New". A new text file will open.

1: Select the range you want to describe. Drag the control head on QuickTime Player with shift key, and you'll find gray zone on the time line. This is the selected range. If you have Player Pro version,  you can use in / out selection markers to select the range.

TIPS 1：You can move the markers frame by frame with left / right cursor on your keyboard.

TIPS 2：When you click the control head and push the cursor keys with shift key, you can move the markers with the control head.

2: Move on to GScript. You can find the time of selected range in StartTime and EndTime field.

 

Input the Sender, the Type of the behaviour, and the Annotation. Or you can leave them empty and edit them later.　

TIPS ：You can use "," as delimiter in the annotation field. For example, when you type "I sai to you , I love you.", "I said to you" will be put into item 5, and "I love you" into item 6.

3: Click Write button, or hit return key in the Annotation field.

You can find your data on the 3rd line of the text file; 1st item for Start time, 2nd for End time, 3rd for the Sender, 4th for the Type, and 5th for the Annotation. You can add more items or edit the data. Start time and End time also can be edited on the text, but it's much easier to use GScript for editing the time data (see "Editing the text data").

4: Repeat 1-3 for transcribing.

5: Save the text file when you finish the transcription.
