I am a videographer and I will rip the audio from my dvds and create a wav file for her with the same specs as her original wav file and I will drop it in the same place and associate the new file with the transcript then it is a matter of adjusting the timing... I now just plug her into my mixer with a cable and she has my audio from the start.

but, yes it would be nice if you could use audiosync like a transciber and just point the audio file to the beginning of the transcript and use the controls within CC

Thanks, Dawn, that's very helpful.

Janiece - There is a program I received when I bought my digital recorder about 5 years ago that you can import audio files into and play back using a foot pedal (plugged into a USB on your laptop) just like a regular tape transcriber.  I loved it!  You can import the audio from a CD or the audio wave file directly from the videographer.  I keep it on my working laptop where I have my Case, so it goes with me wherever I go, and I can work on it whenever I need to.  I am sure you can purchase on its own.  It is called Express Scribe.  I purchased it from Martel in Anaheim Hills, CA

Plz let me know.  I have a video on Monday.

Dawn had asked for suggestions, so that's why I brought it up.  Dread the long, technical video depos because of the whole audio issue and what a time-sucker it is.  Help us out, CC! (Maybe I'll post about this on the cc users fb site and see if they have any good answers.)

It is a big, huge pain.  That's one of the reasons I don't like doing videotape depositions.

The only way I know of is to pipe in the videographer's audio at the time of the depo. Then you will have what you desire, as long as nothing goes wrong.

Which is a big pain, right?  Surely there's a way to make it so you could import your audio and, even though it's not synched, be able to rewind, fast-forward, move the curser to the spot on the tape you want to listen to?

Usually I am going w/t digital files.  When I have digital files I set up my second computer and play the files back on it using Windows Media Player.  

When I have cassette tapes I have the old-fashioned tape transcriber that has a pedal so I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard.  It is becoming rare that videographers supply me w/ tapes.  I was considering selling the transcriber but as of yet I still have it.

Thanks, Janiece and Joseph for your replies.  Janiece, when you go back and edit with the videographer's audio, is it cassette tapes or digital audio?

Jill, if you have the videographer pipe his audio into your computer at the depo it will have timestamps just like if you had used your mic to supply audio on a normal, non-video depo.
