This update adds support for importing noScribe transcripts in .vtt, .srt, and .html format into audio and video files.
It also fixes a bug where audio files would not play.

Added

  • Import WebVTT and SRT transcripts. The transcript Import button now reads .vtt and .srt subtitle files directly — keeping millisecond-accurate timings and stripping the speaker and formatting markup — so a file from a tool like noScribe comes in as clean, timed transcript lines. Any NOTE information in the file (such as the transcription tool, the source recording, and the language settings) is kept as a document memo so that context isn't lost.
  • Import noScribe HTML transcripts. Transcript Import also accepts noScribe's .html export, reading each timed segment — with its speaker label and millisecond-accurate timing — as a clean transcript line, and keeping the file's transcription details (tool, source recording, language settings) as a document memo.
  • Auto-code speakers when importing a transcript. When an imported transcript identifies its speakers (a noScribe HTML export, or a WebVTT file with speaker tags), Magnolia offers to code each speaker's lines for you. A popup lists the detected speakers; drag a code from the Code Browser onto a speaker (or create a new one), and press ▶ to hear a five-second sample to check who it is. Applying codes every one of that speaker's lines.

Fixed

  • Freshly imported audio and video play reliably after saving. A media file imported into a project (such as an .m4a recording) could fail to play with a "binary not available" error after the project was saved, until the project was closed and reopened. Magnolia now plays imported media straight from the saved project file, so it works immediately.
