How to use custom audio description script templates on Frazier
With Frazier Professional you can upload custom audio description script templates onto the platform. In your template, you can customise the design and include information such as the project title, latest updates, and the number of cue points. You can even add images such as your your company logo to the script template.
Customize template
The demo template contains all the data we can generate from Frazier. All content written in brackets are variables that we fill with content.
Header:
- {project_title} > project title
- {document_title} > document title
Cover page:
- {project_title} > project title
- {document_title} > document title
- {updated_at} > last updated
- {count} > number of text blocks
Script:
Basics
Start with the {#cuePoints) block:
{#cuePoints}
YOUR TAGS HERE.
{/cuePoint}
This will be repeated for every cue point in your script.
You can use the following tags inside this block:
- {id} > incremental number, starting at 1
- {start} > start timecode (TCIN)
- {end} > end timecode (TCOUT)
- {#hasDialogue}{dialogue}{/hasDialogue} > dialogue/instructions field
- {voice} > selected voice for read out
- {#speed0}s0 {/speed0} etc. > speed (0 - normal, 1 - fast, 2 - faster)
- {#text}{.}{/text} > plain text without formats (e.g Bold, Italic)
Glossary:
- {people} > people
- {locations} > locations
- {things} > objects
- {tags} Combined > Tags combined
Miscellaneous:
- {username} > username
If you don't need some of the variables (e.g. the glossary and the username), you can simply delete them.

Rich Text
There are two predefined blocks, which include the dialogue, speed and formatted text from the editor (Bold, Italic etc.) Use these as an alternative to the basic tags. Note, that styling is limited here, as the whole block will have same font, color etc.
{#cuePoints}{start}
{@richText1}
{/cuePoints}
- {@richText1} > renders speed settings as s and s+
- {@richText2} > renders speed settings as s and ss
