Your feedback helps us make Originator Studio better. We’ve used your input to improve collaboration, simplify search, and make helpful information easier to access, all without leaving the app. Here’s what’s new.
Comment with collaborators in the app
You can now leave comments for other collaborators working on the same task. Features include:
- Reply in a thread
- Edit or Delete your comments
- Formatting options
- Hyperlinking
Comments do not generate email or push notifications. Instead, a red dot appears in the app when a new comment is available.
Search faster with improved Find & Filter
Find & Filter now gives you more control over where you search, how you view results, and how you move between matches.
Choose where to search
When both the source and target columns are visible, use the Search Scope dropdown to search:
- All events
- The source column only
- The target column only
The default setting is All Events.
You can also search within event text, annotations, or both.
Review matches in context
- By default, your full events list remains visible while you review search results. Use the navigation arrows to move to the next or previous match.
- All matches have a yellow outline. The match you are currently viewing is highlighted in blue.
- To display only events that match your search, turn on Show Matches Only.
Combine Find and Filter
Find & filter use AND logic. This means an event must meet all your selected search and filter criteria to appear.
For example, if you filter for italics and search for “she,” the results will only include events that contain both italics and the word “she.”
Use ready-made regex searches
Turn on Regex to select from a list of ready-made search patterns. These patterns can help you find specific types of text or formatting.
See when Find or Filters are active
When Find or Filters are active, the Find & Filter button appears blue and displays the number of active search or filter criteria, even when the tray is closed.
Close the Find and Replace tray
If you are only using filters, you can close the Find and Replace tray without clearing your filter. Use the Find and Replace toggle to open or close it.
For Dub Script Only
Conformance
Conformance updates now make it easier to see what changed while in the alignment view:
- New purple banner replaces yellow banner
- Return to alignment views at any point.
- Give collaborators the ability to access retiming and conformance features.
- Toggle conformance tags on and off at any time
- Alignment re-entry “Review and align” is available through the purple banner when “Conformance” is toggled on
Follow these instructions to conform: Conforming Events.
For Timed Text Only
Search subtitles without leaving Originator Studio
If you’re working on a timed text asset, you can now search subtitles directly in Originator Studio instead of opening the Localization Reference Tool (LRT).
Go to References to access Subtitle Search.
Video playback is not available in Originator Studio’s Subtitle Search. If you need to watch the video, open the asset in the LRT.
For Audio Description Only
Add pronunciations using IPA
You can now add pronunciations using IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) spelling, the same way you were able to in the Authoring tool. This is available in the Pronunciation Dictionary, found in the References tab and while authoring in events.
To learn more, follow the instructions in this article: How to Add Pronunciations using IPA.
