[PLACE HOLDER] Adobe Story is our collaborative script-writing application that not only allows you to create scripts directly--import scripts from other popular script-writing applications--but the key here is that you can turn all of this rich information into metadata such as dialogue and scene elements and directily import those into Premiere Pro. Now some of the new features that we have in Story itself are the abilities to track and review script changes by elements or co-author and then selectively approve these changes. So if we go up to the View Menu you can see that we have a couple of new panels. Our Track Changes toolbar, here, which will allow you, again, to see who was contributing and making changes, and then you can choose in which elements you want to view those changes; Action, Scene Heading, Teacher, Palidan, etc., and these, of course, are representing characters and different parts of the script. With the Comments Panel, this will very easily allow you to see comments that have been made inside the script and by whom, and by selecting one of those, it'll shuttle you to that exact position directly inside the script. And then if we go to the History Panel, this too will allow you to see all the revisions that have been made. The cool thing about this is that you can actually generate script versions on demand automatically at the end of each writing session, and you can easily manage in production script changes--even set up email notifications for changes made inside the script. Now once you've done all this, of course, we want to bring this into Premiere Pro. And previously you had to go through another application to do that-- to actually tie the script metadata to Premiere Clips--no longer is the case. So from within Story now, I can choose File/Export As, and you'll see that in this case we would choose the ASTX File, but we also have options for other script-writing applications--even MS Excel and text documents and such. We choose the ASTX File Format, bounce over to Premiere Pro, where now we have some clips that we actually want to tie this metadata to--tie the script information to. And then we're going to run our Speech Analysis Process to make the process of editing these clips easier, faster, and more accurate. So with our clip selected, we can play a bit of this back. [Plays clip] We've heard this clip before. Okay. So now I want to effectively tie that metadata directly to this clip. Now I happen to know that this is from Scene I, so you'll see here that inside the Project Panel, I've already indicated that this clip refers to Scene I. By selecting this clip, I can go up to the File Menu and choose Adobe Story/Attach Script File--navigate to where I keep my scripts, choose the ASTX file, click Open, and now as I twirl down the Embedded Story Script Panel inside the Metadata Panel, you can see that all the information is there. But it doesn't stop there, because right now all of this information is just living inside the clip--it's not referencing anything. Well, this is where Speech Analysis comes into play. Quite simply, we can click on our Analyze button here, which will pull up the Analyze Content Dialogue, and here we can choose the language that we're going to use--the quality. We're going to tell it to use the actual Embedded Adobe Story Script. It can identify different speakers, and once we run this process, which will, of course, happen inside Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5--in the background leveraging all the 64-bit capabilities--we can then go to the finished version, and I have one of them here, where not only does it now see the Embedded Story Script, but now we can actually see the Analysis Text. And because it's searching, because it's referencing the script, the accuracy here is far greater than it's ever been before. So if we wind this clip back--let's go ahead and select it here--wind back. Watch the cursor as we begin as Palidan begins speaking-- [Plays clip] it brilliantly follows the speech, and now we can literally click on words, shuttle to different positions inside this clip, set in and out points, and edit against the script--streamlining our workflow faster and more efficiently than ever before, and we can do it directly from Story to Premiere Pro CS5.5.
