Editor Settings

Customize the editor to your liking.

General

Layout

By default, the video is on the left and the document is on the right. If necessary, simply swap the order.

Multi Color Waveform

Are you working in a document with multiple voices? For example, to have subtitles read out. For a better overview, a different color can be used for each voice. Becomes very colorful very quickly for many voices - is therefore not activated by default. 😉

Show Editor Tour

Would you like to repeat the tour again? Check the box and then open any document. Frazier then guides you through the basic features of the editor again.

Video

Media Source

Decide how you basically want to deal with videos. Choose “Server” if you always want to upload films, “Local Mode” if you only want to work locally, or “Always Ask” to decide depending on the situation and project.

Video resolution in the editor

Playback of the video depends on the speed of the internet connection. By default, a smaller version of the movie is displayed in the editor to save bandwidth. If you have a very good internet connection (>50Mbit/s), you can increase the video quality. Note that this only applies to new projects, as the setting is taken into account when the project is initialized.

Text Editor

Automatic Focus for new text block

For scripts with instructions, you can specify which input field should be automatically focused when creating a new text block. Choose “Dialogue / Instructions” if you regularly work with these additional infos. Choose “Text / Description” if you only occasionally add instructions and want to concentrate primarily on the description. For a script without instructions, the option has no effect.

Paste Behaviour

When inserting text from the clipboard, you can “presever formatting” or have Frazier “remove formatting” automatically. If you select “keep formatting”, be careful when copying text from outside into Frazier. If necessary, you can paste the copied text without formatting using “Ctrl” + “ Shift” + “V” (Mac: “Cmd” + “Shift” + “V”).

Keyboard Shortcuts

You can overwrite some of the keyboard shortcuts in the editor. Please note that Frazier is a web application and therefore numerous keyboard shortcuts are pre-assigned by your browser, including:

• “F1” = Help
• “F5” = Reload page
• “F11” = Full screen mode
• “Ctrl” + “F” = Search
• etc.

Other keys such as “Tab”, “Esc” + “Enter” also have fixed assignments that cannot be reassigned. You can use numbers, letters, special characters as well as “F7”, “F8” and “F9”.
