Editing Dialogue

Dialogue can be added and amended in both the Edit and Dialogue workspaces, and can also be displayed in the Pitch workspace when presenting a sequence, see Viewing Pitch Dialogue.

Note:  When making changes to dialogue, ensure that you click Save on the Workspace toolbar before closing Flix. You can still switch between workspaces, and your changes in the Dialogue workspace are retained, but save often to prevent any lost work, should something go wrong.

Editing Dialogue in the Edit Workspace

To edit dialogue in the Edit workspace, do the following:

1.

Ensure that the Dialogue button in the Viewer Controls pane is active.

You can tell if it’s active because the button appears darker gray and dialogue appears beneath the panel in the Viewer.

2.

To edit existing dialogue, select a panel from the Sequence Editor pane.

Note:  If you select multiple panels before editing the dialogue, the edits are applied to all selected panels, but the Viewer only displays the first panel you selected.

The image in the Viewer is updated and existing dialogue is displayed in the dialogue entry box.

3.

Either click in the dialogue entry box or press Tab on the keyboard.

4.

Begin typing or paste text from the clipboard into the dialogue entry box.

5.

You can cut, copy, paste, or delete dialogue by either:

• right-clicking in the dialogue entry box and selecting Cut, Copy, Paste, or Delete from the dropdown menu, or

• selecting the dialogue and pressing Ctrl/Cmd+X to cut, Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy, Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste, or Backspace to delete.

Tip:  You can double-click on a word to select it or triple-click on a word to select all the text at once.
