Split a Document
Do you have a manuscript where you edited subtitles and audio descriptions together, but now need separate documents? Or is your script very long, causing the editor to stutter when playing the video?
How to Split a Document
Frazier offers the ability to split an existing document based on a selected criterion.
- Open the context menu of the document you want to split.
- Select the “Split document…” option.
- Give a “Title.” This title will later be automatically expanded for each document created, depending on the selected criterion — for example, “New Title (%Voice Name%).”
- Select a “Criterion”. *
- Click on “Start.”
New documents will be created, and the cue points will be distributed among the new documents based on the selected criterion. The original document will remain intact.
Things to keep in mind
- When selecting the “Voice” criterion, a separate document is created for each unique voice found in the original. Each new document contains all markers and comments from the original. The glossary is split according to the selected text blocks.
- With the “Timecode” criterion, two documents are created: the first contains all entries up to the specified timecode, and the second contains all entries thereafter. This applies to the text as well as markers, comments, and glossary entries.
- The titles of the new documents are automatically appended with the chosen criterion—for example, “New Title (de-DE-Standard-B)” or “New Title (00:30:00.00)”.
Splitting the document may take up to a minute. During this time, the system will lock the new documents in the project overview. The lock will be removed as soon as the process is complete.
