The “Inspector“

When you click on a text block, the “Inspector” opens.

Structure

The Inspector is horizontally divided into four main areas:

Header
Timestamps and global functions
  1. Automatically generated timecode defining the start and end points of the current text block.
  2. Navigation icons (Back/Forward) to shift the text block backward or forward by one frame on the timeline.
  3. Toggle the text block to “Extended AD”.
  4. Add a “tag” for the glossary to the text block.
  5. Delete the text block.
Instructions Area
Space for dialogue cues / instructions (/docs/en/basics/editor/instructions.html) that are not read aloud.
Main Text Area
Space for your audio description.
Control Bar (Footer)
Audio and playback settings
  1. Set the speaking rate. In the script, this is represented as S or S+.
  2. Set the voice for the text block. Useful if you are working with subtitles in the project.
