Annotation Edit 1.2.1 introduced a new feature "Quick Spotting".
Let us call it "instant spotting". In most of cases this feature will save you vast amounts of spotting time.
Just have a look here at this movie. No tricks, all takes are done in real-time, showing instant spottings from several mixed-down sources, including a full-length feature film.

- Annotation Edit Version 1.3 focusses on transcripts and file exchange with external translators.
- Now included are MS Excel XML import and export. RTF with time-code import and export. MS Excel XML may include time-code offset information, as well as some logging notes.
- Plain text, Plain RTF, MS Word doc, html can be imported with automatic duration calculation.
- A new fast logging mode has been added to quickly assign time-code to transcripts. No arenaline based live spotting, relax hit fast logging when the subtitle should disappear. Annotation Edit will try to set the corresponding start - by words per minute calculation.
- If just need to feed in translations, you can feed in plain text documents and let Annotation Edit apply the time-code and styles from your spotted master track. Or apply Instant spotting to transcripts, just prepare the transcript with corresponding line delimiters.
- New snap functions to reposition the start or end of a subtitle to the current time.
- If you need to bring in frame-based time-code, the new time-remapping functions will help you.
- DVD Studio Pro and EBU STL can write the native time-code to STL. No need for offsetting by hand before export.
